Refirming Gel

[Guest guest]

Hi group, just read Dr. Nase's post on hydrocortisone and immediately ran to

my cabinet. I recently purchase a gel from acneworld.com. Its an

anti-inflamatory moisturizer for people with acne rosacea and people with

over-active seb glands as I have. I'm now concerned because the label reads

hydrocortisone as the 6th ingredient out of 8. Should I be that concerned or

toss it out the window. Can someone take a look and let me know what they

think. Thanks Diane

I don't know about that one in particular But even Clinique had a

creme a few years ago with hydro-cort. They gave me a sample, which I

couldn't even bear to open! I forget what it was called. Emergency

Creme? Hopefully it is off the market.

Best,

Pink Cat

Hi: (sorry this a little late from the post of 3/15/)

I also purchased the refirming gel from Dr. Grekin (he was my dermotologist)

I found it very irritating which is odd cause the hydrocortisone is supposed

to reduce irritation. But at the time I think I was flaring from

hydrocortisone as I had used it for too many months as well as oral steroids

to combat what I thought was an allergic reaction from a strong glycolic acid

peel (turned out to be rosacea). He prescribed it anyway. And I didnt like

it. I wouldnt recommend it.
