Rosacea sufferer claims £19.95 cream made from capers calmed skin down
A young teacher whose rosacea got worse when her GP mistook it for acne has claimed a £19.95 cream made from capers was able to finally calm her skin down in just a matter of days.
China Collins, 26, from Truro in Cornwall, who first started noticing redness and small pustules around six years ago when she was aged 20, says when her flare-ups became more severe they made her feel really self-conscious.
‘I felt helpless because I didn’t know what I could do to help myself,’ explained the primary school teacher. ‘I was left with such sore skin to start with from using the completely wrong ingredients, and my face used to feel like it was on fire.’
After trying several natural solutions and treatment prescribed by the GP, China found an unlikely solution in the form of Kalme Day Defence and claimed she noticed a reduction in redness within a couple of days.
Now, China has been using the range for 10 weeks and claims her rosacea has all but disappeared.

‘I believe that my rosacea was triggered through a combination of genetically sensitive skin combined with the use of a harsh skincare routine through my teens and 20’s.’

‘I used to use highly scented products and absolutely loved a face scrub; I would scrub my face with harsh exfoliator, sometimes twice a day, always focusing on my nose and cheek areas.
China believes she severely damaged her skin barrier during this time, which may have had an impact on triggering her rosacea.
‘I think it took me so long to realise it was rosacea because I had never heard of it before, I had never seen it before,’ she explained.
‘So I had no point of reference or any knowledge of symptoms and triggers to point me in the direction of rosacea.
‘It’s so unknown about in general skincare. Even now I still find myself having to explain what it is to people.’
She continued: ‘I have always been an avid make-up wearer as I have always struggled with spots even before my rosacea.
‘My flare-ups used to make me not want to go out even with lots of make-up on as it would hide the redness but the rough bumpy texture from the pustules would really upset me.’
China went on to say that she works with children, who often have no filter.
‘They have asked me about bumps on my skin and will nearly always point out if I have a flushing flare-up,’ she said. ‘I have also been asked if I’m sunburnt a few a times.’
