Gold Bond - First Day Usage

February 15, 2002

Dear All,

I went and got the Gold Bond lotion in the green bottle today... I've just

washed my face with my usual Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser *liquid* and have

applied the Gold Bond *ouchie* ... keep in mind, I still have the very mild

stages of cea (enlarged pores on cheeks, surface vessels around sides of

nose, some pink color)... well, it burned so bad it brought tears to my

eyes, but I decided to stick it out. It only burned badly for about 5

minutes, and reduced itself to a cooling effect, much like Noxema. It did

not leave my face greasy feeling either. We'll see if this does anything

for my particular situation, which is just to reduce redness on the sides of

the nose mostly. I'd like to hear if anyone else decides to try it and see

how things go... for now, I'm going to do it twice a day, and I'm stopping

the MetroCream as I've been on it for two months and don't see where it's

done anything but moisturize my face.

On another note, I got a catalog in the mail today called Gifts. In

it is a cream called Dermal-K which claims to erase spider veins in a few

weeks time. It says it is used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons for

post-op bruising and diminishing scars and bruises. It has 5% USP grade

Vitamin K cream in it... it's expensive tho... $29.98 for only 2 ounces...

I'm not going to order it. I'm going to wait and see if Gold Bond does

anything... wait and see if stopping MetroCream does anything. What I'm

trying to avoid is having to spend money on lasers or any other type of

light treatment not covered by insurances although some of them sound pretty

good in that they get rid of wrinkles too...
