It's not clear what you mean by "the appearance of my skin." Perhpas some of the changes you see are not rosacea but sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and so forth. The Obagi Nu-Derm system is a program based on Retin-A which helps such changes. There are other programs, procedures, and chemical peels which can help. I suggest you ask the doctor who recommended rosacea treatment, or else consult a dermatologist who has an esthetician in his or her office for a joint consultation.
Best.
