Vascular Health Specialists (VHS), a firm committed to leveraging the latest dermatologic research to develop cutting-edge skin care products, is pleased to announce the pilot study results of their Rosadyn nutraceutical product, which targets flushing, redness and inflammation of facial skin.
Thirty-five (35) individuals who had been previously diagnosed with rosacea were selected and monitored through the first 4 weeks of an ongoing pilot study to to assess the effect of Rosadyn on inflammatory skin symptoms. Participants took the daily-recommended dosage of Rosadyn and reported their progress via weekly online surveys conducted by the firm.
Findings
Participants reported improvement in a range of symptoms, most notably in the areas of flushing, redness and skin sensitivity. Highlights of the results by symptom are detailed below:
Flushing and Redness:
- 94% of participants reported a reduction in facial flushing with an average reduction level of 46.0%.
- 89% of participants reported a reduction in facial redness with an average reduction level of 44.5%.
- 66% of participants reported a reduction in broken blood vessels with an average reduction level of 39.5%.
- 60% of participants reported a reduction in facial swelling with an average reduction level of 38.0%.
Skin Sensitivity:
- 91% of participants reported a reduction in overall skin discomfort with an average reduction level of 51.3%.
- 89% of participants reported a reduction in hyper-sensitive skin with an average reduction level of 50.9%.
- 89% of participants reported a reduction in burning and stinging sensations with an average reduction level of 50.6%.
Papules and Pustules:
- 63% of participants reported a reduction in inflammatory papules (small red bumps) with an average reduction level of 38.6%.
- 31% of participants reported a reduction in inflammatory pustules (red bumps with pus) with an average reduction level of 29.5%.
Other Symptom Improvements:
- 91% of participants reported a reduction in anxiety during rosacea flares and triggers with an average reduction level of 48.0%.
- 51% of participants reported a reduction in global ocular rosacea symptoms with an average reduction level of 43.3%.
Side Effects
Participants were plus asked to report any side effects associated with Rosadyn usage. The weekly survey included both a text box for participants to report any side effects in their own words, as well as a multiple choice question which asked testers to rate the level of any adverse reactions on a scale of 1-10, ranging from None, gentle, Moderate, to Severe.
In total, 89% of respondents reported no side effects at all. Of the remaining 11%, all reported effects were in the gentle range. There were no reports of any side effects at the Moderate or Severe level.
Overall Satisfaction
To gauge overall satisfaction with Rosadyn usage, participants were asked to rate the overall status of their rosacea symptoms after Rosadyn compared to pre-test levels. In total, 91% of testers reported an improvement in the overall status of their rosacea with an average improvement level of 49%. addition, in response to a question of whether participants would recommend the product to fellow rosacea sufferers, 75% indicated they would.
According to Dr. Geoffrey Nase, Ph.D, VHS’s founder and developer of Rosadyn, the results surpassed the expectations of the team, “While we certainly had faith that the pharmaceutical grade ingredients selected would target key symptoms, we were surprised at the speed and breadth of the reported improvements. We were particularly encouraged by the overall reduction in flushing, as that is an inherently unresponsive symptom. The pathophysiology behind such conditions involves months or years of chronic inflammation and cellular damage that generally takes instance to reverse and normalize, so these findings exceeded our expectations. That said, the importance of continued supplementation must be emphasized as inflammatory skin symptoms often require several skin renewal cycles in order to preserve a healthy skin state.”
Dr. Bitter, Sr., a partner in VHS and collaborator on Rosadyn development, commented on the results, “It was particularly rewarding to see the heartfelt testimonials and gratitude from participants who have struggled with the condition for years with only negligible improvement at best.”
Deep Skin Inflammation and Skin Renewal
The Rosadyn Pilot study will continue to monitor the progress of testers at the two, three and six month periods. Early results indicate regular and continued improvement past the 4-week mark by most testers, highlighting the fact that the desired results may require at least 3 months (2 full skin-renewal cycles). increasingly comprehensive analyzing of the affects on Rosadyn’s affect on rosacea symptoms are currently under development by Vascular Health Specialists. Additional Pilot Study details will be published shortly on the Rosadyn.com website.

Great blog, very informative. I am 23 years old and just started taking propecia. After reading about the drug in various forums online, I’m pretty scared about the sexual side effects. Many propecia users claim to have an irreversible loss of libido and some even say that have had trouble conceiving. With so many public reporting devastating sexual side effects, why is that drug so freely prescribed by doctors? Am I right in feeling useless for taking that risk?

I had taken Propecia for about half a year. Recently, I was found that I had a hepatic adenoma. I had consulted to my doctors and they said it is unrelated to taking Propecia. I want to know whether it is caused by the Propecia effect. Is there such effect by Propecia for that?

In an ongoing effort to better understand women’s beauty routines, L’Oreal, in its 100th year, commissioned an worldly usage survey. The research featured some unexpected findings about how women’s makeup habits are adapting in response to the recession, including how women are using makeup to get ahead at work.
The Beauty Barometer survey asked 4,000 women in the U.S. and four European countries about their cosmetic products and usage. And findings revealed that while women have changed the shades they purchase to be increasingly “natural,” they won’t be giving up their favorite products anytime soon. Survey highlights include:
- Nearly half of U.S. women surveyed believe wearing makeup gives them an advantage at work and makes them feel increasingly in control
- Four out of 10 U.S. women are wearing increasingly neutral shades and a increasingly natural makeup style than before the recession
- The majority of women surveyed believe wearing makeup makes them feel increasingly self confident, and even increasingly believe that wearing makeup improves their self image (82 percent and 86 percent respectively)
Proving that beauty is recession-proof, nine out of 10 women in the United States and Europe reported no change in makeup usage despite the economic crisis.
Women won’t compromise on their hair either – when it comes to saving money, most U.S. women surveyed (63 percent) have not cut their hair to invent it less expensive to preserve.
L’Oreal has led the beauty industry for the past 100 years through a keen understanding of consumer attitudes and preferences. The brand’s goal has always been to form beauty accessible to all and to develop products that meet the cultural preferences and beauty needs of women and men around the globe.
Founded in 1909 with a without hair dye product, nowadays L’Oreal operates in increasingly than 130 countries, boasts increasingly than 80,000 products from 23 main beauty grades and produces increasingly than 7,000 new formulations each year.

I’m considering purchasing the Scalproller but i’m concerned as to the safety of the increased absorption of minoxidil. In your opinion do you think it is safe whether the increased absorption is so much greater? And would using the Scalproller lead to a shed similiar to the shed when switching from 2% to 5% minoxidil?
