This product is facial cleanser with probiotic technology. This is not a soap.

Does this product actually reduce the redness associated with rosacea?

Hi Rod, I honestly love this product, especially when I have a flare-up (usually only on one half of my face- soo weird lol) I will use three of the Clinique redness products as the are so calming and soothing. First, I use the Clinique Redness Soloutions Soothing Cleanser, followed by the Clinique Daily Relief Cream if I'm going to be inside for most of the day, or before bed. If I'm going to be outside, I use the Soothing Cleanser followed by Clinique Redness Soloutions Daily Protective Base Broad Spectrum SPF 15. I also use Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream, as I do not have Rosaeca around my eyes and this is a really nice, light product. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend using the Redness Soloutions Soothing Cleanser above any other type of cleanser. It is very gentle to our red, sensitive, often hot or sore skin. It will remove grime gently and prepare it for a moisturizer (I recommend one in the 'Redness Relief' group. Many other cleansers have chemicals that are too harsh for our skin and will inflame the condition, and scrubs will agitate the skin as they are too rough and harsh. I do not work for Clinique, but have used their products for over 20 years, way before I was afflicted with my one- sided Rosacea which drives me crazy at times. I also use Cliniques color balancing primer (green and gentle) before applying foundation. I hope that this helps you or anyone else that is having questions as to which products to use on skin with Rosacea. I tried the dermatologist and antibiotics with expensive (far more so than Cliniques pricing) and I felt no relief. I'm not saying don't go to the dermatologist, obviously, if it's bad, but try this line first. Use it for a while to expect results and stay out of the sun! Good luck to everyone. You are not alone - ever!
