However, I am 47 years old and my skin in general has been sensitive for the last 10 years or so. My dermatologist thinks I might have rosacea. Anyway, I try to keep my face clean with gentle cleansers (like Cetaphil? or Dove for sensitive skin), moisturize with lotions and sunscreens for sensitive skin, wear make-up infrequently, and when I do, hypoallergenic. I also try to drink plenty of water. (I think Cymbalta works like a diuretic on me.) My mix:
Trileptal 75mg am/pm
Cymbalta 40mg
Wellbutrin XL 150mg
