Great product!
Reviewer: Michael Micari from Terryville, CT United States  

I have been using Combray for almost a year now and really like the results. I suffer from rosacea with redness and skin papules and pustules. Since using the Combray my skin has calmed down considerably and I don't experience as many bumps on my face which is a huge improvement. I also have taken several antibiotics to help control my rosacea over the past few years but since using the Combray I have been able to lower the dosages by more than half of what I was previously taking before using this great product. Thank you for making such a great product and I look forward to seeing continued results...

 



Combray for Rosacea
Reviewer: gymgirl at www.styleforfree.com


With only 2 in ingredients, I was a little skeptical about this product - all I can say is WOW! I have rosacea and my face is always red and blotchy ! I massage on the suggested 6 drops at night after washing my face, and few drops in the morning after cleansing and before makeup - it doesn't leave my skin oily - I noticed results right away! I feel like I have a new - younger looking face! I'll definitely keep using this product! Right now it's gold to me! The bottle has approx 600 drops (100 day supply)-

 Combray for Rosacea
Reviewer: Theresa Valentic from San Carlos, CA United States

Dear Solenne,

I would like to thank you for developing your product, Combray. I have used it for the past three weeks and I have experienced a noticable difference in the appearance of my skin. The surface of my skin is now smoother and calmer with less discoloration, more moisture and suppleness and smaller pores.


I have suffered from rosacea for many years and have tried some of the best products in the market. The antioxidant products that I have used from high end spas and department stores caused some acne and dryness did not help my rosacea. The products I've used from the dermatologist caused my face to become even redder and inflamed.


Although I was hesitant to try Combray due to the oil content; I actually found that it helps my skin like nothing I've ever experienced. I would like to help you spread the word about your amazing product. I believe it can help others just as it has helped me!


Thank you again and best regards,


Theresa S. Valentic

My esthetician, Lucy Boland, generously offered me a sample of Combray 0.3% for treatment of my rosacea.  I used it for approximately four weeks, twice a day, and it left my skin more supple and the color more even than any product I have previously tried.  I would welcome the opportunity to use it again.



Rosacea and Oxofulleram

Rosacea is an inflammation of the skin (normally the face) characterized by redness, blushing easily, in some cases noticeable blood vessels, and in more severe cases also pimples and nodules. A single, precise cause of rosacea is not known and it is possible that there is not one single cause, but several, and rosacea could in fact be a result of an alteration of the immune system (Yamasaki, K., Gallo, R. L, The Molecular Pathology of Rosacea, J. Dermatol Sci. 2009 Aug; 55 (2):77-81.) It is known that sensitivity to products such as acid peels and isotretinoin (accutane) and UV (sunlight) exposure exacerbates rosacea, and it is also established that reactive oxygen species (ROS), or free radicals, are present in higher than normal concentrations in rosacea sufferers (Bakar O., et al., The effect of azithromycin on reactive oxygen species in rosacea, Clin Exp Dermatol 2007, 32:197–200.) Oxofulleram reacts with ROS, reducing their concentration. There is some evidence that reduction of ROS can give beneficial results for some rosacea sufferers (Yoshioka A, et al., Anti-oxidant effects of retinoids on inflammatory skin diseases, Arch Dermatol Res 1986;278:177–83.). Tests show that Combray reduces the redness associated with inflammation caused by UV exposure. As the mechanisms are related causing the inflammation of sunburn and the inflammation of rosacea, namely elevated levels of ROS, it is of interest to Solenne to investigate the possibility of Combray providng relief to rosacea sufferers.

Effect of Oxofulleram on Markers of Inflammation

Description of Study and Results

0.3% (wt.) formulation of Oxofulleram in grape seed oil was applied to in vitro skin models (Epiderm) to which UV was applied and a comparison was made with hydrocortisone, a well known anti-inflammatory (though too harsh to use on your face). Prostaglandin 2 (PGE2) is a well-known marker of inflammation. It is one of the signalling molecules cells give off when under stress, and which lead the immune system to begin the process of inflammation (redness).




Figure 1.
PGE2 generation in UVB exposed Epiderm skin model. "Pretreat Oxofulleram..." is Combray. Pretreat is application 24 hours prior to UVB exposure. "Inf. dose" refers to product application where product is left to stand on skin sample.

It can be seen in Figure 1 that Combray (the first bar) reduced PGE2 significantly. These results are consistent with ROS reduction by Oxofulleram.
