5 Rosacea Remedies THAT WORK | Dermatologist Tips

[@vanessajirona]

I get flushed when it’s hot and sunny. It bothers me but not as much as when people tell me “you are red” 🙄 like I know, what is telling me that going to achieve besides annoying me? 🙄🙄

[@laurenschoonmaker8557]

Same!

[@Linzy8956]

I get told that SO often at work and I agree with you!!! I'm quite tired of constantly being told.. "Your red are you embarrassed??" Well I wasn't, but now that you called me out in front of everyone yes!!!! I feel like I need a T-shirt that says: "Yes my face gets red, No I don't want you to comment on it!"😅😮‍💨

[@maconfino9825]

I have had the same problem since elementary school! It’s so annoying! If I wasn’t embarrassed before I am now since everyone is now staring!😂

[@alamryfarms754]

Same!!!

[@kissmyvaz]

Same, sun/heat/exertion of getting to classes across college campus would always trigger my rosacea flares and then eventually the added mental stress/embarrassment of people looking at me bizarrely bc of that. So relieved that eventually stopped after a couple years. Now I’m just red after my personal trainer tries to kill me. 😂

[@Sandra.Viewer]

In my experience, resolving gut health issues was the turning point in clearing up my rosacea 😌

[@misspeacee]

How did you resolve gut health issues ?

[@kidi4245]

How please?

[@manusiakuat2021]

What supplements do you take?

[@patriciamadigan5366]

Yes, dealing with your gut helps with so many autoimmune issues. Sadly, many doctors only laugh at that and don't take it seriously.

[@iss8504]

I have rosacea and used the otc lice treatment, Walgreens branded, with 0.5% ivermectin. Half the recommended dose of Soolantra, which is unaffordable. I had ocular rosacea too and by putting this on my eyelids, eyelashes and cheeks, after 2 weeks everything is back to normal. My skin barrier is back! I do some upkeep once or twice weekly. I have tried everything else including other prescriptions. Ivermectin is a lifesaver. For the first time in decades, no more eye drops to mask the redness and my face isn't beet red and bumpy anymore.

[@Growstuff70]

Wonderful! Who knew?!?

[@_DROM_]

Azelaic acid is what worked for me. And I used prescription for years. One dermatologist, bless his heart, even prescribed me hydrocortizone, for the symptoms that were driving me crazy one summer. I was like, "nah, thank you". I looked for another dermatologist, this one ended up being my last doctor and also a cosmetic chemist. She referred me to this aesthetician to start with some serums for my condition instead of medication. The lower percentages solved the issue. It helped the bank too.

[@RachelJane101]

Soolantra is unaffordable *in the USA*

[@damyj1979]

​@@RachelJane101all over the world. I live in Central America and it's stupidly expensive

[@MosaicRose99]

My rosacea is so weird. It comes out when I feel any type of stronger emotion. Stress, excitement, happiness, pain, etc. Changing hormones also can cause a flair for me.

[@RachelJane101]

Not weird at all. Strong emotion -> cortisol spike -> inflammation

[@MarMar-wv4dv]

As you say, Azelaic acid serum was a game changer. Cleanser + serum + moisturizer at night. In the morning, just water + mineral sunscreen. After years suffering from ongoing daily flushing, I’ve finally found what works for me. Again as you said, I’m not even willing to try any other routine as I’m afraid it’ll just mess me up again. Definetely not a one size fits all; niacinamide only made it worse for me, for example.

[@champagenroses]

Most products that have fragrance and essential oils are very irritating for sensitive skin with Rosacea. My skin care routine is simple - all fragrance free products that I've been using for years, keeps my skin happy 🥰 I use the Neutrogena Ultra creamy fragrance free cleanser, and the Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion and SPF 30. My laundry wash is fragrance free too. I use face cloths to dry my skin after washing - replace with clean ones often. Take care everyone 🌹

[@josephinerodriguez6332]

I tend to get beet red When I’m angry, embarrassed, exercise, it’s just something that always seems to give away my emotions L O L Thanks Dr. Dray, for some very important info.

[@dorkvania7212]

One thing that was a game changer for me to was switching my hand soap from scented to unscented. I don't touch my face much, but I do need to wash my hands a couple times a day. I didn't realize how much the fragrance and essential oils were getting on my face.

[@ninak8506]

Really! 🤯 Omgoodness... I have highly fragrance hand soap. 🫤

[@nicolev9659]

That's why I love Paula's Choice products, one of the few brands out there who doesn't use fragrance of any kind, essential oils or alcohol denat. in any of their products

[@lealinds9496]

I second this. I used Paula products for years and it got and kept my rosacea under control. I have since switched to less expensive products but Paula taught me a lot.

[@eileenbecker9245]

Perfect timing with change of weather

[@jaym8257]

Yes, when summer comes around and it heats up my Rosacea "acne" breaks out. At my age I try to spend very little time out in the sun between nine and five o'clock.

[@margieryne6220]

Thank you & have a great weekend!❤️

[@rojaskendall]

My face after I workout , it’s so embarrassing, my whole face is red as a tomato, all of it! Not just my cheeks and it looks so weird 😭 I don’t like working out in front of people because of this 😂

[@misty4483]

Mee too!

[@gategirl66]

Me, too! I work out at night now and then I take a cold shower! 😂

[@Hemmyii]

Same. People always think I’m dying at the end of a hot summer run but it’s good for the rest of my body and my mental health so I continue. Tomato for an hour but I feel healthy and good the rest of the day 🤷‍♀️

[@GlowITG]

Your videos have really helped me to get my rosacea under control! I read that rosacea often has an onset in the 30s and onward, but I have had it nearly my whole life. Sadly, it went untreated for so long that so much damage had been done by the time I got educated about it. That said, now my skin is in the best shape of my life! Here is what I changed: -Removed fragranced products from skincare routine -Got prescription for Soolantra. This helped a bit but I already had a preponderance of telangiectasias that couldn’t be solved by this -Got a few treatments of pulsed dye laser. This removed some of the telangiectasias. I might consider more treatments in the future but I saw the biggest change from the first treatment. -Started using red light mask I already use azelaic acid and tretinoin in my skincare routine, but I think I will also add a product with tranexamic acid to see if it makes any further difference. Thanks Dr. Dray! My skin used to look bright red all the time. These days I get compliments and questions about my complexion! Never did I imagine people would ever think I had good skin lol.

[@meeshaf2859]

I have found a lot of Korean skin care products are milder and have calmed my skin down. Now I can experiment with different cleansers, serums, and masks without it burning. I still have the broken blood vessels but the burning is gone for the most part which is amazing.

My right cheek is bright red, because two months ago I used a micellair water, for one week, which contained perfume....it doesn't sting anymore, but the redness won't go away :(

[@gategirl66]

When that happens to me (which it has many many times) I've found LaRoche-Posay's Cicaplast REALLY helps cut down the recovery time. Oh the joys of Rosacea 🙄

[@thanosfield2642]

A simple skincare routine is the best nowadays because everything gets so expensive 😅.

[@debjudd8289]

My rosacea bumps were caused by demodex mites and I had this for years. Used Ivermectin called Rosivor over a month and bumps are gone and have not returned. I do a maintenance dose once a week.

[@lindahunter842]

So happy for you. I have been using that for years, and it barely manages it, ☹️.

[@MarkSKristensen]

I might be weird but I find it attractive, even if it comes with bumps and all. Even if it's very "bad" at the very least to me it certainly doesn't make anyone any less attractive.

[@smaibae34]

preach!

[@gategirl66]

I think what bothers me the most is the heat generated from it and the comments people have made every week for the past 50+ years. When it's 110° with 80% humidity here in Houston, you could roast marshmallows on my face. Even when it's cold outside, my face is hot 🔥 But, I guess there are plenty worse things I could have 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MarkSKristensen]

@@gategirl66 Oh my comment weren’t meant to make light of the condition. I don’t have it myself so I don’t know what the physical effects feel like, but I know how people with any type of physical condition worry about appearances, and I just wanted to make it known that it’s not that big a deal in that aspect, and to some like me it’s even attractive, visually at least.

[@Majorjabroni]

Thanks for the tips on how to stay cool when exercising! It really makes my face itch! I also got the sulfur mask you recommended and it has been so soothing to use! I have walgreens otc ivermectin and azelaic acid on my shopping list next (Soolantra is too expensive)

[@MusicaErika]

Hi Dr. Dray! could you please do an update video on Melasma treatments and hydroquinone for skin of colour. Thank you 🙏

[@alayadeluce]

Yep. Sun exposure and stress are my biggest triggers. Driving with the Coolibar uv mask has been a lifesaver for both my rosacea and sunspots. Also mineral sunscreen every day and I have been liking Peach Slices Redness Relief moisturizer.

[@loveawildthing]

Thank you for sharing! I never heard of Coolibar and am def interested. 👍🏼😊

[@mordan4686]

Heavy creams make me go bright red and feel like my skin is warm.

[@gategirl66]

Me, too, which is a bummer since I have dry skin. The past year or so I've been applying a thin layer of COSRX snail mucin cream, letting it soak in, then applying a more lightweight lotion with ceramides. This seems to be working pretty well. 👍

[@Silvie.1]

Same for me. I tried slugging with Vaseline and my skin went bananas

[@Mariajesus-fb7ru]

Dr ..What about antioxidants ??? There are so Many Green tea,centella,blueberry serums ? rosácea Is chronic illness and I need to take care of my antiaging process too

[@QueenXKnit]

I use all of them minus blueberry and my rosace skin is thanking me. As she said limit the amount of stuff u put on ur skin when u r in the middle of a rosacea flare up, the rest of the time. whatever help ur skin barrier like everything u quoted is also good to keep rosacea at bay!

[@agila.p9807]

Even scarves which is used to cover our face (depends on the type of material) causes rosacea.

[@Ashleyiza]

I used to use so many products..... Simple is better. I had a mild rosacea and the TOWER 28 spray is a lifesaver. My skin is so much better with a simple routine.

[@Silvie.1]

Golden tipps Dr Dray. Your channel is the best. The tipps are far better than from my own dermatologist. They don't have time to educate in the same way. I spent so much money on skincare I don't even want to say the number. Now I found one really good cleanser for me and two moisturizers and one sunscreen. I hope they make these forever or in doomed 😅

I have mild Roseca. Strange, my Skin tolerates Tretinoin much better as Retinol, Retnal is OK. I increased Tretinoin meanwhile on 0,1%, no problem 👍

[@sharon3880]

I am the same way. Tretinoin cream helps my redness. Glycolic acid really is bad for me. It causes alot of irritation.

[@Hemmyii]

Tret has helped my rosacea! It’s so demonized if you have rosacea but it’s made my skin much more resilient

[@sharon3880]

@@Hemmyii I had a cosmetic surgeon, years ago, tell me with my rosacea I could use tretinoin, but not to use glycolic acid. At that time, I hadn't yet used either one. He was right, because tretinoin actually helps me and glycolic acid eats my skin up.

You also may not have rosacea, but mast cell flushing. Azelaic acid itches and is aggressive. Doesn’t seem good for the redness, just papular-pustular blemishes.😊 I find it amazing anyone can get by with gel moisturiser.
