A member on another board recommended this product, so I thought "what

the hell" and bought it.  I absolutely love this product. My skin hasn't

looked this good in so, so long, and it even let me eat and drink some

trigger foods during the holidays with no consequences (I'm not going to

push my luck, though). They did warn it might cause your rosacea to

flare up at first, but thankfully, mine didn't; it just got better and

better and better. This product at night (with a good, thick moisturizer

over it), my usual SkinActives Anti-Inflammatory cream in the a.m., the

clear Smashbox primer under my Lancome Concealer.....I'm so happy now!



And (kinda icky), it does contain emu oil, but it works. The oil is a

by-product of the animals being....um....processed for their meat, so

they're not being killed just for that. And I eat meat, so I can't be

all high-and-mighty about it, right?



Here are the ingredients: Dromaius (emu) Oil, Borage Seed Oil, Jojoba

Oil, Sulfur, Zinc Oxide, Tea Tree Oil, White Willow Bark Extract,

Arnica, Camomile, Marigold, Burdock, Aloe Vera, Camphor, Eucalyptus,

Vitamin E, Green Tea

Jasper - Jasper - Jasper.  For someone who openly stated that he is fearful

of being "attacked" on the board - don't you feel this response was just a

little harsh.  I know you have extremely strong feelings about the use of

tea tree oil but - - a little more compassion here?

many thanks Woody, my post was ignorant and unfeeling on a variety of

levels.



you certainly have done me a service in mentioning this, and indeed i

will strive for an equable tone, always, in posts.

Well!  That response was quite unexpected, not to mention uncalled for.

The cream worked for me, might work for others, might not work for

others.  It's up to all of us to make our own decisions, and to try and

share with others afflicted with rosacea our findings and

experimentations in hope that we can also help them. And if we disagree

on something, or know or think something is dangerous, by all means

share, but nicely, for goodness sake!  We're all here for the same

reason!



And with that I'm signing off for tonight!  Hopefully by the time I'm

ready to share something again, this lovely feeling I'm left with after

reading all this will be gone.



And to think.....I saw the name "Jasper" and thought "ooooh...."Jasper"

like in Twilight.  How very cool."  =)

dear Cathy, please forgive my impersonal and rude tone. reading the

seemigly dismissive, quick and seemingly unfeeling message i wrote, i

am quite amazed at how unfriendly it seems. quite uncalled for -

indeed, the opposite was called for.



i shall not post any more about tea tree oil, nor about any danger, in

fact. it really is too much of a loaded topic. or should that be

topical .. ah well, too late for attempts at humour now.



farewell and all the best,



i will go and do some further study, and perhaps write a book one day,

and let the critics  have their field day with my theories, rather

than me trying to publish a series of opinions as messages to the

board. that would be much more appropriate, and perhaps more helpful too.



regards

Hi Jasper.

Oh, please don't go. I've just come back from holiday and thought wow

what a lively debate.



It's good to have opinions and that's what creates the debate. As long

as we are all polite and sensible about it. Well geeh why not? I'm

french and we (the french and my family included) have I beleive

nothing but debates. We might all in the end stick to our guns but

it's always a good thing to hear what others have to say.



I'm not sure about TTO being bad and I am not a user of this product

but I appreciate the knowledge you have given me in this particular

field. Even more so that the body shop who have strong ethics on

cosmetics seem to have a whole range using it... something to

definitely follow.



I think it's a shame that we should 'fight' over issues that are meant

to be helpful and with good intent and the fact that you apologised

for your tone of voice shows this.



Emails can a lot of times appear very abrupt and dry and do not always

truly carry the real intent of the writer.



So lets all please stick together to keep informing each other in as

friendly a manner as we can manage.



BTW Happy New Year to all my fellow rosaceans!

Lisa M.

hi Lisa,

i will keep my membership, however will go and research more, to calm

my ideas and approach.

although i have achieved clearance of rosacea/oc.ros. without laser,

oral anti-biotics or tto, i am almost too scared to celebrate and

smile. .



after 16 years of rosacea-torture, i am not used to this.

and neither are the arrogant fellows in my local towns who used to

find such comfort in making their stigmatic comments about me.



and so, when my ideas are seemingly ignored, i get upset like a little

child.

this is not okay, i just need to grow up some more, and get over the

need for validation. like my grlfriend said to me - "take a deep

breath. good. now.. take a few more."



there are things in common like breathing, and yet there exists a

mosaic web of beautiful paradoxical facets through the looking glass too.



all of us are so different.and that is a beautiful thing. :-)



rosacea seems to demand that each individual find a seemingly magic

and hidden path that only will reveal itself to that specific soul.



when i am able to freely share information without concern for

people's reactions, and without responding to any negative or

dismissive reactions, i look forward to saying hi to the group then.



for (imho) that is the best way - to share valuable information, and

not expect anything in return ... surely, the most valuable

information to one person is an inappropriate suggestion for at least

a few others.



such a riddle, a puzzle .. why is it so .. i have no answer, and am

comfortable with that. only just.  :-)



best regards,



Jasper

Hi Jasper



I have been away for some time and so haven't been checking my mails.



Would you share with us your success with rosacea?  I know one person success is

no guarantee as rosacea reacts differently for everyone but it still can help

some people.



I will be very grateful.



Thanks in advance.

Hi Jasper,



Thank you!  I'm sure we've all done the same---sent something via

e-mail, and later, think "Wow. That's not how I sounded in my head at

all."  Or, honestly, you're just upset and then it's too late.  I have

to sometimes be careful with my words, especially in e-mail when there's

not an expression/tone of voice to go along with the words, or be

careful not to type and send in haste, repent in leisure.



I agree with Lisa and others:  don't go!  There's no reason why you

shouldn't  post about tea tree oil---or about anything you want to talk

about at all!  That's what the group is for, and what we're all here

for:  to share what we know, think, learn....I like tea tree (in Purple

Emu), you don't; Jane likes red light therapy, Joe doesn't.  The point

is, it might work for someone out there, so we should share.



And like I said, who can't forgive a "Jasper". =)  Yes, it's a Twilight

thing.
