I am a woman in her 50's and still suffering with acne/rosacea on my face. I wake up with new pustular spots every day and it is getting me down. I was prev. sent to a skin specialist who prescribed soolantra 10mg but it did not work for me.

I have an appointment with my GP soon. Any suggestions as to what treatment I should try next?

(I have been on long term oral antibiotics)

Evening primrose oil capsules are good for acne

Take 2 x 1000mg capsules a day

Worth trying

Try eliminating dairy for a few weeks. I've noticed a direct link between dairy consumption and cystic acne around the mouth and along the jawline.
