- Q
I have rosacea and I use a product that my dermatologist recommended to help keep my flare up on my face, cheeks nose and chin areas bump up bad when I have a flare up. Will this product be compatible with the playedmyosin round pads that I have to use for my rosacea. I have a scar that is slightly notable if I don't have my make up covering the vertical scar that goes from my left eyebrow down the left side of my face and stops at my laugh line on my cheek. My scar is a thin line that can be seen if you get close enough to see it. It's hard to cover up if I don't get my shades of makeup just right. I've had skin cancerous cells that have had to be removed surgically next to my right eye, crows feet line and that scar is hard to be noticed on my face. I want to make sure that I can use the products before I can purchase them.

amazing, but picky, product
This product will do everything it claims to. However, the first few days of use I was dissapointed because I was not seeing many results. What I was doing was washing with Purity at night, applying a thin layer of Help Me, and applying a good layer of Hope In A Jar to prevent dryness. I didn't know...

Reducing appearance of sun damage
I'm 64, and started using "help me" at night about two weeks ago to fade small patches of skin discoloration from sun damage on my face that occurred years ago. So far it has helped a little; I'm hoping the end result will be a decreased need for concealer and/or foundation. ;-)

I've used the prescription Vit A products since I was in my 30's. I even worked on the clinical trials for Renova. This product is as good as the very high priced rx's for Vit A wrinkle reduction products and more powerful than other otc renitol containing products. Highly recommend!
Love this product.

This retinol cream is just as effective as the prescription one I had. It's also more affordable than the prescription brand. It has kept my skin wrinkle free for years. No one can believe that I'm almost 50!
