I have had rosacea with a great deal of redness for several years. I purchased this product thinking it might help reduce my facial ruddiness. I have gone through nearly a bar using the soap as directed everyday. I tried to use it twice a day but it dried my face too much and made it itchier so I went to once a day, before bed.My pores seemed to shrink somewhat but the redness was not reduced at all. I am very disappointed with this product. It did not deliver what it promised.
