No, Alena, my skin didn't react, it just didn't go well with my

texture/type of skin. I rinsed off very well several times, yet I

still felt a mildly sticky film residual. It quickly dried to an

unusual touch -- rougher than my normal skin, although my skin itself

felt well-moisturized. Maybe it was the oatmeal? Whatever, it

just wasn't for me, but I definitely didn't react to it in the

typical rosacean way so I recommend a try, you may well love it.

I've also found willow bark/salicylate to be the effective anti-

inflammatory, although for me it quickly loses effectiveness when

used to manage acute irritations. Some of the ingredients would

irritate my skin, and others I don't believe are effective topically.

Regarding your glasses, I've had the same cheek trouble even with

100% titanium frames. I bought new glasses -- the kind with

bottomless rims, and this time I made certain they didn't touch my

face so air always circulates around them. It made a difference.

Good luck,

Marjorie
