Twice daily deep but gentle cleansing is vital to the conditioning and enhancement of any rosacea patient's skin.
Most patients use formulas for sensitive skin which they believe to be the best fit for their skin.
They almost never are and as a result many patients hamper or eliminate the possibility of effective therapy.
Rosacea Cleansers meet the Clinic's criteria for ideal cleansing:
- No sodium laureth sulfate — this popular surfactant produces large amounts of foam, however has a characteristically superficial cleansing action and doesn't rinse off completely. Rosacea Oil Free Purifying Gel Cleanser is a safe and skin-beneficial alternative for rosacea patients, containing natural and low-foaming plant saponins derived from cacti, and no sulfates;
- No known irritants — free of coloring, fragrance and alkalinity which encourage immune responses and challenge the skin's slightly acidic pH;
- Formulations which supplement the fatty acid composition of the epidermis to encourage natural hydration — the fatty acid composition of the epidermis should remain at approximately 25% unsaturated, and be left substantially undisturbed by cleansing;
- Fresh, unadulterated product — produced in small batches for limited, selective distribution, the cleanser formulas do not require the large amounts of preservatives and therapeutically-redundant chemical emulsifiers found in cleansers intended for long-term storage prior to sale.
Rosacea cleansers are housed at 20 degrees centigrade / 68 degrees fahrenheit for no longer than 2 weeks post-formulation prior to shipment.
Changes to Rosacea Cleansers in 2008:
Rosacea Cleansers (Oil Free Purifying Gel Cleanser and De-Sensitizing Cleansing Emulsion) are now supplied as 2 x 100 mL and 2 x 120 mL respectively, instead of 1x 200 mL and 1 x 240 mL respectively.
By supplying the same volume across two individual glass bottles, additional reduction in preservatives has been made possible.
In addition, Rosacea De-Sensitizing Cleansing Emulsion is now supplied in wide-lid jars, replacing the earlier closed-neck bottles.
The revised packaging allows for complete product use of the thicker formula.
Previously, around 1/10th the total volume had remained inaccessible at the end of use.
The clinic has absorbed the price increase implicated in greater packaging.
