Dr. Nase recommended a cleanser, Aderma Septalibour as particularly suitable for 'mopping up flakes' in seb derm as I think he put it. I use it and love it, much nice than Zia for flakey skin. I'd also recommend that you try City Block or wait for Sy's new protective cream - it's really, really nice to use. Also try one of 's oils - Vita Oil or Moisturising Oil. Both are lovely and for most people, non-irritating. Hope this helps, --- Reid on rosacea-support, skin@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 Jill: I've found that massaging a drop of jojoba oil into my skin after washing it gets rid of the flakies. They used to be most noticeable under my makeup. The jojoba seems to do the trick for me.
