Some people seriously lack common decency in this world...and they clearly are ignorant! You are brave and courageous and immensely helpful to others with rosacea and I thank you!!

It's so scary to me that the internet has made us like this, they just do not care who they hurt as long as they get their internet engagement. Thank you so much for your support.

It's really horrible isn't it? I was so upset about it last week but now I'm just mad!

I echo Louise! You have had a tremendous positive impact on me. I have had dreadful skin since the summer - following the use of tanning drops (applied directly to my face, which should have been mixed with moisturizer). Immediately, thread veins appeared and subsequently, I used a cream which promised to diminish the appearance. The use of these creams triggered rosacea and I have been battling it since last August, with no real respite, until a couple of weeks ago. I have been despairing and felt as low as I have ever been in my life. I am 62 & felt that I could not look forward to anything anymore. I came across you & felt immense comfort from your wise words and your sparkling, kind personality shone through. You have given me such support, if you did but know it. I am truly grateful. You are a lovely, inspirational lady - (I always say this to my husband). Thankyou so very much Lex.

Appreciated reading this article. I cannot imagine the level of upset at being tagged in something like this and the realisation they’d taken a photo with a positive message and peddled it in that appalling fashion. I for one am thankful for everything you do. I’ve followed you for years and, slowly over that time I’ve learned to be kinder to myself. I’ll leave the house to perhaps pop to the shops, to a friend’s house for a cuppa, make up free, which just a few years ago I would never have done. Whilst I still get “looks”, I will largely try to put my focus elsewhere. It’s hard, and things like what this company put out don’t help, however you do Lex and you’ve made a big impact on me!!
