Hi @kolo- have you consulted with a doctor regarding your Rosacea concerns? Mayo Clinic offers a guide that is helpful because it has specific questions to ask the doctor: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/rosacea/basics/preparing-for-your-appointment/con-20014478

Writing down your concerns and tracking what causes a flare up can be helpful too, since this is information that will be helpful to the doctor is diagnosis and in talking about treatment options available. The best way to get on the track to finding a treatment that's right for you (since different things can work for different people!) is often to start with a conversation with your doctor.

The National Rosacea Society may be another resource for information: http://www.rosacea.org

I did consult with a doctor and he gave me the prescription to the Vitamin A cream as well as a printed list of potential triggers for a flare-up. When I mentioned that I had tried the honey treatment, he dismissed it as an ineffective option. He offered to do laser removal, but I opted against that before observing my skin reaction to items on the trigger list. He mentioned Red-Less 21 and I did try that, but for me the best option seems to be avoiding items on the trigger list.
