- I have a mild case of rosacea, but I’ve been told that the condition often gets worse with age.
- I never seemed to outgrow getting acne, and I figured there must be something better than over the counter stuff.
- I also have what I thought were sun or age spots, but the dermatologist actually said they were probably related to hormones.
- And of course, I was wondering if there was some way to help my skin age more gracefully.
