He also uses Mychelle Capillary Calming Serum, and sometimes Aveeno Redness Soothing Moisturizer (which also has sunscreen). This combination seems to work well for him!

Ooh, PS-- the Prosacea might work for your hubby even if it didn't work for me. Reviews on a rosacea support board vary. For some it works great, for others not at all, and many find it drying but certainly not everyone does. I was turned on to it by a subletter, who swore by it.

Well, my guy is all about the homeopathic stuff, thus the evening primrose and the expensive holistic lotions. Whatever makes him happy. ;)
