Re: what moisturizers do you use and why

Thanks MissLiss for the help. I have managed to find a site where I can purchase it.

This site has a picture of the pump bottle. Would this be the same one as you use?

NeoStrata Ultra Smoothing Lotion

I could definately do with 60/70% less redness!

Re: what moisturizers do you use and why

Hi, do you notice some burning, stinging, sun sensitivity when you use this product?

flushing/blushing is it improved?

Re: what moisturizers do you use and why

no negative results due to sun exposure. but i wear a daily moisturizer with spf15 and i'm not very fair.. i have medium to light olive skin.

as for the blushing and flushing which is a seperate matter from KPRF. i can only speak for the constant redness from KPRF...I would think flushing and blushing couldn't be treated topically.

Re: what moisturizers do you use and why

i use to flush/blush badly as a child. i still do, but not as badly, and only on occasion, such as in extreme cold or extreme heat; that redness is an entirely seperate issue, from the constant pink-cheeked kprf that i've managed to tame and it doesn't seem possible (in my knowledge) that flushing/blushing could be treated topically, but rather with oral medication.

Re: what moisturizers do you use and why

i mean oral medication--in whatever form they may take, based on a doctors careful consideration.
topical medications have side effects just as oral ones...ALL medications do, and you're not guaranteed to experience the same side effects as others, or at the same extent. no one suggested your brain was diseased, so don't get so defensive. for me (and others i'm sure,) kprf IS just a cosmetic issue. i've had kprf for 22 years and it has NEVER physically hurt. dermatologists only treat cosmetic problems, so you're going to the wrong doctor if you think it is more than a cosmetic problem.

you do not flush less, it is just less obvious because your skin tone darkens--after all, can you ever tell when dark skinned individualls flush? no!

Hi, I'm not defensive.. I'm speaking about my situation...

Can I ask you what do you feel when you flush?

If my kprf was only a cosmetic issue then when I flush I wouldn't feel nothing.. INSTEAD.. I feel hot and often I feel my skin burning...
For me (for you and for others maybe different however..) is this the most ugly thing of kprf.. IS NOT a cosmetic issue! feeling hot is not a cosmetic issue! feelings are not cosmetic issues!

when I'm really very tanned.. I'm sure... I flush less... 3 4 years ago I was very tanned... for some weeks I was "normal... NO ONE FLUSH (no flush masked by tan but no flush at all)
