Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Florasone isn't for everyone, unfortunately (how many times have we all heard *that* one?!). I tried it for my moderate, pustule-papule-intensive rosacea and it broke me out *big* time --- two applications was all it took to make me flaming red and covered with dozens of p&p's. The active ingredient in Florasone is cardiospermum, which comes from an ornamental vine with a fruit that looks like Chinese lantern (but green instead of orange). I know more about its horticultural properties than I do about its medicinal properties, but it's possible I'm allergic to the plant, as I am to several others.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 You could have also been reacting to the base cream. The inactive ingredients are not listed on the package, as far as I could tell, so there's no telling what's in the delivery vehicle. Plus, a lot of homeopathic tinctures are made via alcohol. I think the harsh inactive ingredients are often what cause problems for some people using the metros or noritate. --- The Lucey-Weinhold Family lucewein@...> wrote: > Florasone isn't for everyone, unfortunately (how > many times have we all > heard *that* one?!).
