Recent Testimonial
(many more recent testimonials at the bottom of this page)

- "Over the last 5 years the skin on my face had gradually become more and more sensitive to the point where even tap water could leave my forehead covered in red spots which at best would take an hour or so to recede. 

- This was coupled with red patches next to my nose. Both cheeks and forehead were extremely dry and prone to outbreaks every couple of weeks.  Whilst I was not the worst afflicted by rosacea by any means,

- it is no overstatement to say that between them the CALMIN™ Rosacea cleanser and CALMIN™ Rosacea EPC cream have completely given me back my 'old' skin for which I am very grateful indeed. 

- No dryness, no spots, no redness and no outbreaks - quite amazing!" Ian

I have tried many lo's and po's in the past to try to reduce the redness and spots on my face, but to no avail. I found your web site and read some of the testimonials and so half-heartedly I ordered your CALMIN™ rosacea cleanser and moisturiser. Within 2 weeks the redness had dramatically reduced and hardly any signs of spots. Absolutely delighted, but still doubting it could last, I decided not to write to you until I had allowed a good length of time to pass to see if it really did continue to work. Four months later I'm delighted to say, that the redness is amazingly gone, leaving only a light blush and the spots, as long as I keep away from chocolate(!!) are minuscule, if at all. So I would just like to add my voice as so many people have and say the CALMIN™ rosacea range truly is a wonder and does have lasting effects, thank God!! Polly

Lynn a Rosacea sufferer recently wrote to us: "Dear KCN I have suffered with Rosacea for 5 yrs.... I have battled my way through many skin care products, despite this my face always looked red and sore. Since trying your CALMIN™ rosacea products, my life has changed. My face feels so much more comfortable, no dryness, redness and only the odd spot (which I can live with). I know I will always now have Rosacea but I feel much more in control of it now, thanks to your products. My life, I know would not be the same without KCN skincare and I would fully recommend your products to anyone with sensitive skin...
Thankyou!" Lynn D

This site is run by - and dedicated to;
- men & women, young and old with rosacea - also known as Acne rosacea, roseacea, roscea, rosecea or commonly adult acne,
- those with hyper-sensitive and easily irritated skin (I have rosacea characterized by hyper-sensitive skin and cannot even tolerate tap water on my face!)
- fellow sufferers of acne vulgaris (common acne)

Started in the year 2000 our aim is to offer support and understanding both to fellow sufferers and their families. We have a selection of 1,400 emails in our sufferers email pages from the thousands I have personally received and replied to.
Kevin Nicholson a fellow rosacea sufferer and founder of KCN skincare in partnership with my wife Cecilia.

We test hundreds of products. Any rosacea products on this site have been tested by myself and have not resulted in facial irritation to my hypersensitive facial skin.
Please note - because we are all different - this does not guarantee suitability for you!

In addition to sensitive skin products we also provide a variety of effective acne vulgaris prone skin products. Details on the online store by clicking on the product titles.

OUR CALMIN™ Rosacea SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
We started this website in 2000 with the aim of exchanging information and trying to offer support. But the most frequent theme from our correspondents was the need for skin care products that would not further irritate their rosacea. And so began years of testing of ingredients on my own skin, testing of formulae on volunteers and development by a leading UK laboratory reknowned for natural skin care products. In 2004 we were proud to announce the beginnings of our CALMIN™ Rosacea skin care range.

ROSACEA INTRODUCTION
Rosacea - also known as acne rosacea, roseacea, roscea, rosecea or commonly adult acne - is a different condition to the more common Acne vulgaris and the two are often confused. Rosacea is much less well diagnosed than acne vulgaris, a frequent misconception being that the red face of Rosacea sufferers is mistaken for acne or due to a “healthy” outdoor complexion or worse, and very insulting for many, alcohol abuse. Many people see their Doctors for years with other complaints, without rosacea being diagnosed. Often if it is diagnosed Doctors have little knowledge of trigger factors that worsen the condition and may even prescribe inappropriate treatments such as steroid creams. Often the facial flushing of Rosacea may be intepreted as "psychological difficulties" causing further distress and confusion.

What is less frequently observed is the mental stress and anxiety that can accompany Rosacea. Social isolation and depression can follow this underrated disease, that may leave sufferers emotionally and physically scarred for life. Political correctness seems to have entered every aspect of our lives, except where skin complaints are considered. It is still common in the media to hear derogatory remarks and jokes about spotty youths, pizza face, you’ll have heard the rest and I hope it makes you as angry as it does me. If you see someone in the media trying to get cheap laughs about skin problems, make a complaint - I do - it may make them look elsewhere for their "comedy".

"I just wanted to write and let you know how much you have helped me with my [acne rosacea] (roseacea,rosecea,roscea), Firstly your Internet site is absolutely brilliant and it gave me a lot of help just by reading it. I have now been using the products you supplied for 1 week and already I am seeing an improvement like I have never seen before, The change is fantastic , The document you send out regarding triggers has also been very useful ………I cannot begin to say how much I appreciate the effort that you have put into helping others, I'm sure you have made a difference to a great number of people and I would recommend your site to anyone with similar problems. Thank you Richard"

"I simply must tell you just how wonderful your products that come with the full regimen are! I first looked at your sight last year and since I saw that you were using Aloe Vera for rosacea --I tried a different brand of it that I bought at my drugstore. It helped some with the redness, but not enough. So I ordered your Aloe Vera, your cleanser and your moisturizer-----WOW! In just 4 days I could tell the difference --- the dry flaky patches were gone --- the redness is gone by 80%--- and now after a month ---my complexion is fantastic!.... Veronica USA. rosacea

I am 41 years old and have had [acne prone skin] since I was a teenager. In fact I thought that the only good thing about reaching 40 was the possibility that my skin would improve with maturity. How wrong could I be! I have tried antibiotics which worked until I stopped taking them. I tried Dianette but had side effects and had to discontinue treatment. I tried ...... cream with limited success. I have used endless problem skin products in my quest for spot free skin.I then discovered your web site and decided to give the Aloe Vera treatments a go. I have been using them for three weeks and I am so pleased with the results so far. My skin feels softer and the overall condition has improved. It is less oily and there are fewer erruptions . I will continue with these products forever if early results are anything to go by. Thankyou for a very helpful informative site. [acne prone skin] has been the bane of my life and has often affected my confidence . I would recommend the treatments to anyone. D.

Just a quick reply to let you know how things are going. I ordered some Aloe Vera products from you and I must say, I've been really impressed. My problems have diminished in just a week to a level where I would say I'd settle for, the redness and flakiness reduced by about 75%. People have stopped staring (and wondering whether it's contagious!) and that has helped me no end. I feel fortunate to have stumbled on your site and advice so soon; ….. here's my advice to readers, order some Aloe Vera today, Kind regards Martin rosacea

Thank you for publishing Martin's letter to you regarding his use of your Aloe Vera products. I am Martin's wife, and can only add to his email that the Aloe Vera has worked on him so well, it has been fantastic!……I would say to anybody with rosacea; Try the Aloe Vera, it works really well Thank you Debbie

I would like to thank you...Your Aloe Vera products have done wonders for my skin. My doctor did little to help my situation and I left the surgery feeling at a loss with this problem. As for the future I shall ensure to spread the word on your Aloe-Vera Products. Thanks again. K.W. (Complete Aloe Vera regimen customer ordering more moisturiser and cleanser). rosacea

I received your products a few days ago and I love them!! The aloe vera is working wonders for my skin. Can I please order from you an additional cleanser… I would like an extra one for my shower. Lisa.

….. say how pleased I have been with the aloe vera products. I have been using the gel and moisturiser for just over a month now and the difference has been amazing!. The horrid dry and flaking patches have almost gone completely and the redness has reduced to a very acceptable level. I am also impressed that both products have not made my skin greasy which is a problem I have had with moisturisers in the past. …….Finally just to say thanks for your brilliant website for improving my life not just physically but mentally as well. Keep up the good work. Sam rosacea

I would like to say a big thank you for your website and your Aloe Vera Products. I am 43 and have been suffering with [acne prone skin] & rosacea for over 20 years. I’ve had all the usual antibiotics and creams over the years and also two courses of Roaccutane although the spots eventually disappeared I was still left with the red skin and thread veins – rosacea: When I say your website I thought give it a try I’ve nothing to lose. I’ve been using your products for 3 weeks and the effect is brilliant the redness and veins are fading and my skin feels great. So keep up the great work like all the letters on your website I’m very grateful. Once again thank you. Paul (reordering regimen)
