Hi -

We started a new blog, focused on applications of Combray, and how and why it works or doesn't for various skin care needs. Our focus is on user experience. Right now there is a post on the history of Combray, and then a post on why we are putting some emphasis right now on understanding how Combray helps with rosacea. Everything is driven by listening to users, through our surveying and sampling, and even better, when we can speak or correspond with users directly.

Here's the new blog: http://combray-applications.blogspot.com/

We're also interacting with Combray customers, testers, and friends on twitter: @Combray_Dave and @Combray_Jeanne. We would love to hear from you - I think it's going to be a great way to interact with users and people interested to learn more.

Good rosacea information

We're in the process of trying to contribute to the understanding of rosacea - it's apparent that some rosacea sufferers are helped by Combray. The causes are not well understood, though inflammatory processes and oxidative stress correlate with the condition. So, there's a basis for why Combray could help - if reducing the concentration of free radicals signals a reduction in inflammation.

Here is a good information center at the NYTimes on rosacea.
