This is NOT a joke, apply a thin layer of plain, UNflavored yogurt to your face, let it dry. You can apply moisturizer or makeup over this, it does not show.
I think the reason this works – is because rosacea is caused by yeast, and the acidophilus in the yogurt creates a re-balance in the natural skin flora.
The yogurt causes the intense itching of rosacea to vanish, what a relief!

Actually, numerous studies have been done, and no one is really sure what causes rosacea, but yeast isn’t high on the list. Some think its a vasodilatory/inflammatory disease, some evidence implicates mites, and some H.pylori infection.
I’m glad you’ve found something to make your itching improve, but perhaps you didn’t have rosacea, since itching isn’t commonly considered a symptom of rosacea.
Good luck with keeping your itching to a minimum – I really would suggest looking into the cause of the itching, since it may not be rosacea.
Also, your topic isn’t a question – may be better posted on a support group site for people with similar problems.
I believe you. I have found that during dry weather a humidifier really really helps as well. I am going to try that yogurt thing as soon as possible. Too bad I went to the store already today. Thanks for sharing! Fabulous idea, very smart.
Hey it’s worth a try and couldn’t be worse than using Metro Gel on my face every night!
I was told rosacea had a lot to do with toxins and your liver not eliminating properly too. I did a liver cleanse and 95% of my symptoms of rocacea went away. (Of course I stay away from fatty foods, too much caffeine,alcohol and sugar now too)
My husband has it, and I plan to tell him about this and get him to try it.
I also use Visine (yes, the eye drops) on the occasional pimple (still get ‘em at 48!) as it dries them right up..a little drop on the finger, then dab the pimple (at any stage…) and they disappear. Works everytime and for everyone I’ve mentioned this to…
Just thought I’d share mine since you were so kind to share yours..can’t wait to see if this works…
My rosacea is caused mainly by caffeine. You might try staying away from all sources of caffeine (chocolate, soda, coffee, tea) and see if the swelling goes down.
I’ve always been suspicious of the H. Pylori infection links. The real reason people with H. Pylori get better skin under treatment is because the drug used (Amoxicillin) also has anti-inflammatory properties, so rosacea also gets better.
Different courses for different horses!
This stuff stops my rosacea outbreaks and stops me getting wrinkles too ! http://www.rosacea-remedy.com
I’m allergic to many things so I have to be real careful what I put on my skin.
