Re: Desitin Ointment

[Guest guest]

Hello Phil,

Its been awhile and I've been meaning to get back to our rosacea site. I only

use the Desitin

occasionally; maybe two nights in a row, tops. Even with fairly dry skin these

days, much more

than that, and the oiliness doesn't " agree " with my skin--I start getting small

red papules--who

needs them? Anyway, best of luck, if you try it; sometimes, I test stuff I'm

not too sure of on

my forearms, as they seem to react to things in much the same way that my face

would....this

gives me a better " prediction " of how the product might react used on my face.

Best regards,

Carol
