Best book I've read so far. Loaded with pertinent information on Rosacea and Ocular Rosacea.:
I have both ocular rosacea keratitis and acne rosacea. It is a very depressing disease and breaks down your self esteem. The ocular rosacea is a complication of the acne rosacea and well, this book was a life saver for me. It gave me all the information in one place and a support group to talk to others with the same disease. Dr. Nasse has the disease himself and he has working experience with the treatments that worked and didn't. I recommend anyone with rosacea read this book.

He explores many different routes from the latest medical treatments available, to practical products to use at home, to advice to help minimize flareups. Great book and a must for all who have true rosacea!
VERY DISAPPOINTED - EXPENSIVE AND FAILS TO DELIVER ITS PROMISE:
Like many others, I was excited about receiving my copy of this book when it was first published, but unfortunately I was extremely disappointed because the book does not actually justify its title- Beating Rosacea. One cannot criticise the amount of data on rosacea that has been collected but little, if any, is from the author's own work. The layout is very confusing and without a specific index, locating individual items is difficult. For a person newly diagnosed with rosacea, I think the majority could... more info
