    Default Artist before-after photos

    I hope you can see these. Here are before-after photos.

    http://health.ph.groups.yahoo.com/gr...os/browse/f4bd

    Maybe someone can help if they are not visible?

    You can see that it was raw, painful, breaking out, red, reactive, miserable.. It looks and feels so much better now.

    I credit about 75% of the overall improvement to IPL. The rest is due
    to EGF for addressing stubborn pinkness IPL could not, Licorice for
    making my sensitivity vanish, hyaluronic acid for addressing the
    dryness I still had. Emu oil and sea kelp also helped. I think all of
    this is also helping prevent my rosacea from creeping back.

    The "before picture" resolution is not great since I had to have it
    scanned in. I was a little embarrassed because I had to do it at a
    Kinko's. he he he!

    Please note: After my experience with EGF, Skinactives submitted a
    patent on it for rosacea, and graciously included me because of input
    I provided to them.

    Could you open your eyes any wider!?

    Your skin has a delightful translucency.

    Always a danger, I guess, that the collagen stimulating aspects of IPL, and topical EGF, may well indeed thicken the dermis but leave it looking lifeless, concrete-like.

    This has certainly not happened here!

    Thanks GJ! I am a bit wide-eyed in that shot. I look hypnotized. How funny! Artist

    Hello Artist

    Congratulations your skin looks perfect now and you must be very pleased.

    What is the time difference between the before and after pictures ?

    Regards

    Peter

    Peter. Thanks! The "before" was taken in November, and the "after" was taken about a week ago. So about 6 months. I wish I had a shot of me after the IPL and before I found Skinactives. If you can imagine that picture improved by about 75-80%, that would have been the picture. The Skinactives took me the rest of the way. I am hoping the EGF and Licorice keep me from having to have IPL again, but we'll see!

    RHC: Not at this point, but eventually I'm sure. There are so many more potentials I want to try. I'm considering something to address capillary integrity like horse chestnut. I have a big list of ingredients and what I think they may address. I'll post it later just for kicks. We've talked about a lot of them. I swear I need ten heads or a bigger face to try everything I want!! ha ha ha ha!

    Incidently, the new Metrogel has niacinamide in it. Anyone tried that? They ought to add Licorice to it!
