Thanks lbellarina . Could not have said it better

[Guest guest]

myself. I am one who has relied on mainly the medical community to produce

an effective rosacea product. Not saying that I don't try to take good care

of my overall general health, I do. But I understand that this topical is a

cosmetic. I have tried many cosmetics like LaMer, ReVive, Dermalogica,

B.Kamins and some of them make claims that I am sure cannot be

scientifically verified. I tried them because they gave me hope. And some

days , hope is all that keeps me going. I tried Dr. Sy's products as well as

those from care. Were they rigorously tested as well. We are here to

help each other. I don't want to be attacked for some thing which I suggest.

I would hope that it is received in the same spirit as that in which it is

offered, Call me naive or gullible. But if there are any free samples, tell

me where to line up. When the first tubes become available I'll be waiting

with my crumpled dollars in hand ready to surrender.

Thanks for your words. I have found a lot of support from this group

in the past but I have been alarmed and worried at how things have been

going as of late. I hope that we can get back the balance and proceed. We

have a lot to learn from each other.

take care
