Rosacea is a chronic condition characterized by facial erythema (redness) and sometimes pimples. Rosacea affects all ages and has four subtypes, three affecting the skin and the fourth affecting the eyes (ocular type). Left untreated it worsens over time. Since quite a time we apply a new prescription therapy to provide relief of facial redness. This skin cream lets facial redness disappear for a limited period of time. You find some more information in Wikipedia and much more information about Rosacea in the web, e.g. at www.rosacea.org.
