FAB Ultra Repair Lotion Review
I'm always on the hunt for a great lotion that will calm rosacea. First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Lotion is just one of many that I've tried over the years but one of few that I actually like.
It is thinner than the Ultra Repair Cream, which I like due to my oily/combination skin, but contains the same ingredients that calm the skin. This product is definitely more than just a body lotion in my opinion.
What do you think? Have you tried FAB's Ultra Repair Lotion? What other products do you use to help calm your rosacea?

Onreltea review
I'm always curious when I find out about a product that claims to get rid of or reduce the redness caused by rosacea as to whether or not they actually work.
When I mentioned to my dermatologist that the redness on my face was driving me crazy his first recommendation was laser treatments. When I said no to that option he then recommended a cream product called Onreltea, wrote a prescription for 5 refills, and gave me a couple sample tubes to try out. He then mentioned that this cream costs about $100 (gasp!)
On my way home I stopped at a pharmacy and inquired about the cost. The pharmacist looked in up, looked at me, looked back at the computer, finally looking back at me and said "well...it costs $134 after dispensing fees". WHAT?!?! This better be a miracle cream I thought to myself. I thanked the pharmacist for the information saying that I hadn't decided if I was going to fill the prescription or not.
The next day I decided to try the cream, not knowing how it is to be used - because it didn't come with directions and the dermatologist didn't say anything - and was extremely disappointed with how the cream worked. It didn't! So, I went online and eventually found the directions on how to properly use this cream.
The results you can see in the video below.
Bottom line - yes, it does reduce the redness caused by rosacea but I'm still undecided if I'm actually going to buy this or not.
Have you tried Onreltea? If so, what was your experience with it like? Please share in the comments below.

Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion Review
This product has probably been review many times but this is my take on it. Basically, I LOVE it! It has gotten rid of all the roughness on my skin and I no longer have any flaky bits that catch in my makeup. This stuff makes me happy, happy!
