NOREDOL® NEWS
• Noredol® expands its presence in Europe. Noredol® Skin Care Gel was presented this fall at the Beauty Forum Munich, the 21st International Congress & Trade Fair. Cinna Health Products representatives from Poland and the US traveled to historic and beautiful Munich, Germany, to attend this well recognized event.
The Beauty Forum Munich, a premier autumn event for the professional beauty industry, took place on October 28th and 29th at the Munich Order Center, M,O,C. This large and popular annual gathering brought together thousands of beauty industry leaders and practitioners from over 50 countries, representing the “global” village of the whole world. More than 750 companies and brands were on show in eight halls and the event attracted a record number of around 37,380 visitors, including both professionals and the general public. Additionally, the Forum presented numerous supporting events, like workshops in cosmetics, cosmetics business strategy, and special presentations by exhibiting companies and brands.
One of the workshops entitled “Prevention is better than a nasty awakening – avoiding skin changes in good time” stressed quite well the ever present trend in cosmetics to look for innovative products that offer new and effective solutions for problems with sensitive skin. On this note, we are glad to report that Noredol® Skin Care Gel was very well received and recognized as a cosmetic for most sensitive skin types. Many conference attendees stopped to talk with us about their specific needs and were very happy to learn about a new product that was developed through scientific experimentation specifically to address the needs of sensitive skin. Our readiness to refer to scientific studies, show results of the studies, and cite customer comments following the use of Noredol®, really sets us apart from the cacophony of other products on the market.
Noredol® Skin Care Gel is already present in Germany through the Cinna Health Products web page at www.noredol.de. However, we look forward to expanding our presence for German customers through retail channels. During 2007, we plan to have Noredol® available through the system of “apotheken”, a German network of shops being a combination of pharmacy and drugstore. As 2007 progresses, we’ll keep you posted about these exciting developments.
Favorite New Quote:
"I occasionally have rosacea flare-ups, and recently purchased the smallest tube you sell, curious to see if it really worked. I started to see a difference within 2 weeks. I had a good feeling about it the first day I used it because it is the first gel I have ever put on my face that didn’t immediately make my face redder than before. I am now ordering the largest tube you sell, and am so excited I finally found something that really works. Thank You!”

FACE TIME
Know your personal rosacea triggers – it will help your skin and you. No one seems to know exactly what causes rosacea, although many doctors and clinical scientists would agree that there are two primary etiologic components of rosacea symptoms: vascular and inflammatory. Rosacea is primarily a facial vascular disorder in which the blood vessels are functionally and structurally affected. It is not yet clear what causes the face blood vessels to abnormally swell and start a chain of vascular and inflammatory events, leading over the years to full-blown rosacea. There is a prevailing opinion that a combination of genetic predispositions (remember the “curse of Celts”?) and several types of other non-genetic “outside” factors are related to rosacea development. Genetic predispositions, including hormonal, nervous or immune system variations - like the color of our eyes - will stay with us forever. “Outside” factors are more of an environmental or life style nature, and as such, they can be avoided or at least limited in their effect. Knowing that there is no cure for rosacea, and that the environment as well as our life style can trigger rosacea and push it to the advanced stages, a rosacea sufferer should try to avoid personal triggers as a good prophylactics for his (her) condition.
Triggers – the list is very long and at the first sight can be quite depressing, particularly for a person who already is stressed by problems with rosacea skin. However, the good news is that one usually has “personal” triggers and is not subjected to all of them. The most important step is to make a personal trigger list and then consequently avoid items on the list in everyday life. Unfortunately, this has to be done by experimenting, by the method of trial and error. But once you complete your personal list and implement avoidance of the “culprits”, the results are really wonderful!
Triggers of environmental and life style type in general fit into several major categories:
• Skin irritation and damage triggers represent a broad range of factors including hygiene and beauty cosmetics (irritation on contact or as an allergic reaction); sun (irritation and damage on contact or long-term damage including collagen damage and capillary vessel walls weakening); extreme weather (hot, cold, humid, windy); exposure to certain chemicals and chemical vapors (living or working in chemically compromised environment) and exposure to certain indoor light conditions (e.g. certain types of fluorescent light).
• The category of life style triggers lists hard exercising and extreme sports – everything that involves sweating, an increase in surface body temperature or exposure to cold, windy air – as big offenders for rosacea prone skin. Another life style trigger is emotional stress, which nowadays has became a common experience for many of us. Emotional stress can induce flare-ups and aggravate rosacea skin appearance, making personal and professional stressful situations even harder to handle.
• Food triggers include spicy food, certain fruits, e.g.
raspberries, drinks containing coffee or tea, and alcoholic drinks. The trigger factors in this category seem to be the most personalized, and many rosacea sufferers would list all kinds of dietary components as their personal triggers. It should be stressed, however, that when a correct and rigorous diet is implemented, about 91% of people are satisfied or partly satisfied with their diet-induced skin improvements. Only 2% see no change in their skin conditions (Please see data from Burrows' rosacea diet poll at www.rosacea-diet.com).
Microorganisms and parasites in contact with the skin represent a broad range of rosacea triggers that include bacteria, yeast or mites, e.g. Demodex mites. When living on the skin, any of these may cause inflammatory responses that in the course of time can induce or stimulate development of rosacea symptoms. It is also suggested that some bacteria in the human body similarly can trigger rosacea. For example, there are clinical data that rosacea skin condition often coexists with an infection by Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium living in the gastrointestinal tract.
Know your triggers should be the call for every person having rosacea or experiencing facial redness and unusual skin irritability. Either of these may be the beginning of rosacea. While it is true that rosacea cannot be cured, it is also true that limiting or completely avoiding personal triggers significantly helps to control rosacea skin symptoms.
Look in the next issue of Noredol® News for more details on known rosacea triggers and how to start building a personal trigger list.

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM DR. PIOTR CHOMCZYNSKI
How does one maintain a nice clear face if a person is affected by rosacea and/or acne? The initial answer is simple, just avoid triggering factors. However, once you learn what these triggering factors are, you realize that is not a simple task at all. Too many of your favorites are on the long list of triggers (just check the lists on our pages ). No morning coffee or tea, no strawberries, raspberries, no spicy food, hide yourself from the sun in a dark room instead of playing on the sandy beach or mountain trekking (unless doing this at night), etc. It is hard to accept all these limitations. For a substantial improvement one has to turn to a medicine prescribed by a medical specialist. In my case, an antibiotic therapy combined with Noredol® Skin Care Gel application is the most effective approach that keeps the skin clear and allows for a modest use of forbidden items from the list. More and more doctors use Noredol® Skin Care Gel as a cosmetic of choice to supplement their medical treatment of rosacea or acne-compromised skin. The most recent addition is application of Noredol® gel to help to recover beautiful skin after peeling.
Let the coming year 2007 bring the best treatment to keep our skin healthy.
Yours, Piotr Chomczynski |

ROSACEA AND YOU ACNE AND YOU
• Noredol® Skin Care Gel can be an everyday cosmetic. Some specialists in rosacea skin care express the opinion that a number of products used by rosacea sufferers do not live up to their promises. It happens quite often that any help provided is limited to the acne-like symptoms, leaving redness and burning sensation unchanged or sometimes even aggravated. Noredol® Skin Care Gel, an innovative cosmetic for maintaining healthy and beautiful skin, is especially recommended for sensitive, irrirated skin with redness and flare-ups as in rosacea and acne. Noredol® reduces the appearance of redness, blemishes, and sensations of burning and itching, without irritating sensitive skin. This calming and soothing effect provides relief for the skin when it needs it the most – at times of flare-ups, and in the time between flare-ups to keep symptoms under control. What’s more, Noredol® can be used as an everyday cosmetic because it does not interfere with make-up or the application of other skin care products.
• Acne in skin of color should be helped with special considerations and special care.
Dark skin is prone to developing darkened spots, so called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which form at the sites of inflamed acne lessons. Caused by excessive melanin production, the darkening of the skin is a normal reaction when dark skin becomes inflamed, as after a rash, scratch or pimple. In acne skin, the hyperpigmentation spots become numerous as the skin condition promotes their formation. The darkened spots may fade with time or be removed by a number of methods, however, they may add to the acne-related psychological upsets, creating even more obstacles to a person’s ability to function confidently in society.
Because of this particular irritability in darker skin, it is very important to take good care of any existing skin problems. When choosing products for everyday care, look for cosmetics that treat the skin gently and calm it without further irritation or over-drying, as dark skin tends to be very sensitive and often very dry. The easy scarring of inflamed spots is another aspect of dark skin. For this reason, verify that the cosmetic products you choose are non-comedogenic (would not clog pores) and would not actually promote development of inflamed spots. This also applies to the pomades used for hair as they tend to clog pores around hair line and may result in new acne break-outs. Since the sun may prolong healing time, daily use of sunscreens (SPF 15 or higher) is considered beneficial for skin of color with acne and can help resolve the dark spots more quickly.

YOUR ACNE DICTIONARY
Acne Name with a long history
The origin of the word acne, describing eruptions on the faces of adolescents, dates back more than two thousand years. It developed as a distortion of the Greek word “acme”, meaning, “point” or “peak”. In ancient Greece the word “acme” was applied to puberty, then considered to be the “peak of life”. With time, the word “acme” evolved to the word “acmas”, describing the facial blemishes that appear at the time of “acme”. In Modern Latin, it transformed to the word “acnas” and finally from that to the contemporary word “acne”, which at present is a medical and everyday term for the “pointed pimples" skin problem affecting about 85% of any human population. About 25% of those experiencing acne will have acne symptoms serious enough to search for help, professional or otherwise.
