Vaseline is a heavy occlusive. I'm thinking that using it every day for enough time to interrupt the cycle of Demodex reproduction and longer as a preventive measure. I'm wondering if the Vaseline usage on the eyelids/base of the lashes will block the Meibomian glands and then get Blepharitis or something like that.

Any words of wisdom from you who use Vaseline for more than a month?

The metrogel was Malassezia safe which I need because I developed Seb Derm recently.
I’m just curious if Metrogel is available in any country because even if it is, I’d not be able to get it.

There are many manufacturers for the generic Metronidazole. Does anyone have one fav manufactuter? I’m looking for a gentle and malassezia safe (better known as fungal acne safe) for the inactive ingredients.

I got one metronidazole by Taro. One of the inactive ingredients is alcohol at 9.3%. I don’t know if anyone with Rosacea would be able to tolerate that amount of alcohol.

Glycolic Acid. Does anyone have a good FA glycolic acid exfoliator? I have an area on my face that needs extra help and Glycolic Acid would be ideal.

Im looking for a face cleanser with Glycolic Acid or leave-on.

On the topic of exfoliators, if you have any other type like salicylic acid, lactic acid, physic acid that you really like and are FA safe. I'ld love to know too.

In general my symptoms are light. Symptons for the last six months: 1) Get random dry sensation on my eyes, and goes away on its own or with simple eye drops (without any Rx) . This bothers me the most.

2. white flakes/crustiness at the beginning of lashes - it looks light not too many.

3. Some light swelling of the lower lids despite doing warm compresses twice per day every day. It gets better but it doesn't completely goes away. Nobody looking at me will notice. And get random blister on top of my upper lashes that come and go on their own.

4. random itchiness that doesn't last long.

The Xdemvy seems to be the gold standard. And, given that my symptoms are not too extreme, would it be wise to use this? or would it better to get tea tree oil ointment for the eyes?

Currently, I"m using Ocusoft every day to clean them up and seems to be helping but does not get rid of the problem.

My understanding is that this is a permanent issue that can be controlled only.

What has been your best treatment for Rosaces in the eyes/Demodex blepharitis?

Any words of wisdom will be highly appreciated!
