Cream for Acne rosacea
I suffer from Acne rosacea for which I have been prescribed 'roseliane cream.' Unfortunately, my pharmacist is having trouble tracking this down; and I am not optimistic that he will succeed. Can you help?
Acne rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease which can affect adults of all ages and which is characterised by a redness of the skin on the face, particularly around the nose, forehead and cheeks. Even more distressing for sufferers, these affected areas will erupt in papules (skin lesions) and fluid-filled pustules which are difficult if not impossible to disguise.
I have tracked down a website which stocks this roseliane cream (www.beautycenter.co.uk) but since I am not familiar with the product, I cannot comment on its effectiveness. What I can comment on thanks to feedback from happy users is another topical cream called Kuswera Zuro which is made from the African potato plant which has an anti-inflammatory action on trouble skin.
Originally formulated as a nourishing night cream (Kuswera Zuro means “the day before yesterday”) acne rosacea sufferers who have taken a leap of faith and tried this cream instead of the conventional antibiotic preparations have been delighted by the results.
You can mail order Kuswera Zuro, which also contains antibiotic aloe vera and moisturising evening primrose oil, from the African remedy specialists, The Little Herbal Company on 01484 685100; www.littleherbal.co.uk where a 60g pot, which should last for several months, costs £19.99 plus £1.50 p&p.
