Product Inquiry - Capillary Clear
 
Since I've lost weight, I've been noticed broken capillaries on my face. I've done some reading and apparently this is common in women who have lost large amounts of weight, saying that when you're heavy the 'face fat' can stretch and break your capillaries, then when the face fat is gone they become more noticable. They also say it's hereditary. My mother had them too.

I've been looking at skin care products and came across one called Capillary Clear by Skin Doctors. Has anyone used this? Or ANY other product on broken capillaries with any success? I'd really like to diminish their appearance.

Thanks :)

Are you sure it isn't rosacea?

Hi, I had broken capillaries on my face after I gave birth to my daughter. I was already 25 pounds overweight prepregnancy and out of shape but they disappeared soon after birth. (i wish my stretch marks would :D) I would talk to your doctor first before buying anything, they might prescribe something better. good luck!

They're just tiny little spider lines. My doctor said they were just broken capillaries.

If no one here has used this product, do any of you know where I might find some reviews of it? All I'm finding are reviews made by the product manufacturers (eek, did I spell that right?) themselves. And I don't trust that because, of course, they're biased.

I'm not able to find any reviews that aren't from the manufacturers either, but I'll keep looking. If you do decide to buy it, I'd be interested in seeing how it works.

Maybe you could ask your doctor or a dermatologist about this product. :)
