An Easy Rosacea Skincare Routine

[@kmlmayer22]

There's a big gap about rosacea around the internet. Everything is too basic, no one talks about products and its ingredients. Thank you so much for doing such a great and complete job! We need you here ❤️

Try looking for Dr Sam Bunting. She is a dermatologist and has rosacea. She has quite a few videos. James Welsh also has rosacea. He is not a derm. but he has videos of things he tries/uses to keep his under control. If I think of others I’ll try to remember to pop back. But Cassandra seems to be the most in depth so far.

I used the Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm and I have acne rosacea and I was fine, it took off make up and did not irritate my very sensitive skin.

[@JLeigh75309]

Alcohol, sunlight, heat, stress, chemical sunscreens, those blasted masks -- such a challenge for rosacea. I was finally diagnosed during my annual physical when I mentioned it to the doctor, and he looked under my mask (flaming red, thank you). Love Beta Glucan, Ordinary's EUK, Rx Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide, ATO Ceramide Moisturizer. Most antibiotics and I don't get along, so Rx Azelaic Acid has been of some help. I'm considering red light therapy. Thank you for this!

I actually was diagnosed with rosacea as a teen (I’m 22 now). I’ve struggled with finding a good routine for a LONG time. I also have extremely dry skin...I’m talking full, visible flakes raining down if I don’t keep up with my routine. I’ll write my full routine down below if anyone cares, but my HG product is Elta MD’s Barrier Renewal Complex cream for a PM moisturizer. It’s fairly pricy (~$50), but it’s worked miracles for my skin, as I can see a visible improvement as soon as the following morning. Routine PM only: First cleanse with Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm Cleanse with Cera Ve Hydrating Cleanser Toner: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Wild Oat Hydrating Toner OR Tower 28 facial spray AM Serum: Naturium Niacinimide Serum AND Natirium Hyaluronic acid serum PM serum: Alternate with Krave Beauty’s Great Barrier Relief one day and Natirium’s Azaleic Acid Emulsion the next. Treatment: Derm prescribed Desonide lotion AM moisturizer: Vanicream Daily Facial moisturizer OR First Aid Beauty ultra repair cream PM Moisturizer: Elta MD Barrier Renewal Complex Sunscreen: Biossance Squalene + zinc mineral sunscreen

Your input on lip care would be incredibly beneficial, because there is more to our lips than flaky skin and sugar scrubs. Thank you for your amazing videos!

I use 20% azelaic acid every morning. To be honest I don’t think it’s done much for my rosacea but it definitely has stopped me breaking out since I can’t tolerate bha or aha. So that’s one less thing to worry about now I’m just focusing on the flushing which I feel is impossible to treat.

[@jacobsoto2316]

Hi, so at the risk of sounding ignorant - I don’t have rosacea so I’m not sure how flushing is of the skin when someone has rosacea. BUT, I get redness after at home peels, and one thing that eliminates it almost immediately is the Phyto Corrective Gel X Skinceuticals. I know it’s expensive and non-vegan, but it works for me and thought I’d recommend looking into it for you ❤️ you’ll find something that works I’m sure. Hope you have a wonderful day/night ❤️

[@fjp9]

Stopping the “rosacea breakouts” is one of the effects azelaic acid have. The flushing is something you have to find the triggers for to control/reduce. For me tretinoin have had enormous effects! But my trigger’s are mostly physically, so … that might be the reason.

[@KristenKras]

I've started using the Ordinary's resveratrol and ferulic acid, this seems to help a little so far..... I actually find some chemical sunscreens are better, mineral sunscreen is too heavy and I just hate the texture. Some things temporarily irritate my skin but not for long, I prefer Nivea shine free SPF 50, Korean sunscreens and La Roche Posay (whatever that really runny formula is but its messy). I prefer very light or gel like sunscreens. I already moisturise so don't want a moisturising sunscreen, well, not heavy moisturiser.

to those whose rosacea is triggered by wine, i’ve heard that you can use sulfite removing drops.

[@PauStephens]

I first noticed my rosacea when I was 25 years old and started working with ceramics, I have dry skin and the powder of ceramics and plaster make my skin dryer and more reactive to dry weather and sun. My worst rosacea episode happened when I moved to Poland and I was exposed to minus degrees temperature and inside the house to the heater, not only my skin was reacting super badly but also my eyes. I got ocular rosacea that unleashed blepharitis and I had a lot of dryness and started to see blurry, the normal eye drops didn´t work out for me because I was lacking a type of oil that retained the humidity in my eyes and that oil can only be produced by your eyes so I had to put hot compress in my eyes and be really patient to get those oils back. It took me a while to understand what makes my skin react (now im 32). Im fine with spicy food, caffeine, alcohol. But extreme changes of weather, dryness and the sun are my worst nightmare . Also after my pregnancy it got way much better I don´t know if it has anything to do but I have less issues than before. Hope my experience helps someone, I remember feeling really lost 7 years ago. I like to see that nowadays there is a lot more information about rosacea

[@tracygalloway9379]

I was wondering....did the occular get better? It is the worst for me! if I cry it just makes everything sooo much worse. I could really use any help you may have with the occular I have not worn makeup in 3 years

[@PauStephens]

@@tracygalloway9379 Hi Tracy. Of course I can share what worked for me in the hopes it works for you. I would say that First think is to Identity what Makes your eyes react. Type of weather, heater, air conditioner, makeup, etc. And avoid those things as much as possible. I don’t wear everyday makeup in my eyes I do it only on special ocations like weddings or so. But I heard that there are special types of makeup like in It cosmetics that help with this maybe you could try something like that. In my case the rosacea was a mix with blepharitis, it peaked because I wa slicing in Poland and outside was super cold and the cold wind would freeze my eyes and then everywhere I went hay a heater and was extremely hot, so my eyes reacted badly to that, at the biggining was just dryness but then was dryness+ redness+not being able to see (blurryness) so I was really desperate, screen make it worst. I went with a few doctors and the first one recommended some drops but they where not working, second one told me I maybe needed a cornea transplant because my corneas where really badly injured. I had little scratches on the surface. Then I flew to Germany with an esoecialist and he was the one that told me that I didn’t needed that but the thing with the oil, that my eyes was not producing this special oil and that was because the rosacea and blefaritis. So the solution was really basic to be honest. Every morning and evening I had to put hot compresses in my eyes (there are special things for this I got an electric eye mask that would warm up and use it for at least 10 min) and then with a special cotton clean my eyelids and massage to estimulate the production of the oils and to unblock the way of the oil.

[@PauStephens]

I used the brand Théa for cleaning my eyes every morning and night after 10 min of hot compress in my eyes. And after that apply hydrating drops it was like this for at least 15 days until My cornea healed and I could see again. After that I did it only for sleeping and now I don’t do it anymore unless I feel like I was exposed to one of the damaging agents or I start to feel my eyes dry. Then I will do it again and I feel it’s also better because now I live in a more humid area. Hoped this help, sorry for the writing mistakes. Wish you feel better soon.

[@sstephy]

Omggggg tell me more about your eyes! can you see better with the warm compression??? it’s so crazy how i’m in the exact position but worse i feel like….i’m visually impaired now and have been going to doctors to get my vision fixed and it turns out the eye infections i use to have plus the random rosacea flare up i had 5 years ago is what kickstarted the loss of my vision. i’ve had different doctors and getting multiple opinions tell me to do one thing and another. doctors in the states recommend eye contacts for now and not worry about a surgery, basically using contacts as a band aid until????what? do i have to be practically blind to get a surgery? theyre trying to avoid surgery and want me to use contacts even it helps 85% with my vision. they just gave me eyedrops to quiet the scars but over time using steroids isn’t a good thing either. went to see a doctor in mexico and they were more concerned with treating my rosacea and once my face calms they said there might be a possibility of a cornea transplant in one eye, and the other eye can be saved bc the scars aren’t on my iris, i can use contacts with that eye. anyways i’m trying holistic medicines and what not bc i’m just running out of options. my contacts come in in a couple weeks but i just want my vision to be restored with out surgery. ahh sorry for dumping this on ya just hoping for a miracle here.🥺 how are your eyes now?? i bought a microwaveable eye masks in january and use to use it everyday for about a month until i just forgot and lost the rhythm of the routine. maybe i should start that again?

I would say the azelaic acid from The Ordinary has an almost powdery texture, like a matte liquid foundation.

I haven't used the Inkey List balm, but I did use a different brand (wish I could remember it) but it left my cheeks with such a burning feeling. None of the ingredients were irritating, yet somehow my face just decided it was a huge no. I have dry cheeks, and an extremely oily T zone, so I was hoping a balm would kind of help balance out without stripping. I wonder if maybe a liquid oil cleanser, rather than a balm might be better, as you don't "drag" it around your face as much?

I tried that one, too and my skin didn't like it, either but I've also tried so many other cleansing oils and balms and none of them worked for my rosacea prone skin. The only thing that has worked well so far is the Bioderma micellar water as a first cleanse, no signs of redness or irritation at all, quite the opposite actually. Unfortunately, it is not cruetly free, I believe but it's the only first cleanse product I found that works for me.

I also got the CeramedX for nighttime use and I love the feel of it but......every night it would sting just a bit after putting it on. This seemed odd to me for such a thick, lovely moisturizer. Welp, I saw my dermatologist today and mentioned this to her. She pulled it up and looked at the ingredients and said "it's the lactic acid. You should probably put this aside". Bummer. She is having me try by Aveeno Calm and Restore for senitive skin and also Vanicream to see which I like more.

[@Fictionallove345]

I have just been formally diagnosed with rosacea type 1 and it did a number on my self-esteem. I knew I had it for a while but my flare-ups were infrequent and the flushing would go away on it own within 1-1/2 hrs but ever since winter came, this year my skin started feeling dry from September and nothing seemed to moisturize my skin properly. It would appear fine on the outside but my skin felt really dehydrated and dry from the inside. There was no flakiness and I also started getting some acne around my jawline and around my nose area and on the sides of my lips (something which I never had before). But the flushing would come and go and I was able to control it. But since the last 7-8 days, I started to flush at night. It became so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep at night. It extremely stressed me out which caused more persistent flares. My cheeks would become hot, red and I felt like crying (which I did as well until it aggravated my rosacea even more). My ears would become hot and red as well. It was then that I went to a dermatologist and she wrote a prescription with a bunch of medicines out of which I could only take two because of my nephrotic syndrome. I am yet to start the Erythego gel (I am so scared). But honestly, it was stress and anxiety that has been really triggering it for me and of course, low humidity, cold weather and low temperature. The difficult part of it all is dealing with Rosacea in India where research is scarce and a lot of the skincare products aren't available (like Cerave, vanicream, the ordinary, K-beauty products) and even if they are, the prices are extremely high. So, that's my story. I don't know how I will control it completely but I am hopeful that I'll be able to manage it better.

[@Fictionallove345]

At present I am using CosrX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, Isntree Hyaluronic acid toner (only started this yesterday), Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Moisturizer. I am also taking Allegra 180, Extend Capsules (as prescribed by my dermatologist) and my regular Cardace 20. For all those who are suffering from Rosacea, know that you're strong 💜

[@crissyanderson6495]

I’m so sorry to hear that you are going through this! I was diagnosed with type I rosacea about 2 years ago and I was devastated because I had never had any issues with my skin. I became so self conscious about the redness that it caused me to become depressed. I’ve seen several different dermatologist and they prescribed topical meds but it didn’t work! What I do find that helps is nice soothing and calming ingredients such as centella, propolis, mugwort and green tea extract. I also use a moisturizer that has ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids that will help to repair my skin barrier. I hope this helps and good luck 🥰🥰

[@Fictionallove345]

@@crissyanderson6495 My dermatologist gave me a moisturizer that has caprylic triglyceride, squalane, ceramide and I am loving it but my skin still feels dry on the inside. For instance, when I wake up in the morning, my skin feels tight, and is really dehydrated but still has that non-sticky squalane layer (some of it). My redness is such that it doesn't stay all the time. It's mostly at night (or evening) and early morning when I wake up. Centella does help soothe my skin (I use the Klair's Midnight Blue Calming Cream/Bioderma Cica Cream). I have been thinking of incorporating a green tea serum and the mugwort cream from Isntree. This winter I have been suffering a lot but the flushing doesn't feel it's burning my face anymore, as was the case even a week ago. My skin doesn't do well with low humidity and cold weather and I am just waiting for the weather to get better and become more humid😭. I hope you are doing better💜. Is there any way I can connect to you on any social platforms? Sometimes I feel like I am the only one suffering from Rosacea as none of my friends or family or anyone near me has it.

[@crissyanderson6495]

@@Fictionallove345 The moisturizer that your dermatologist gave you sounds nice! Try applying it to damp skin! I like using a facial mist like the one from La Roche Posay Thermal Water Spring Water or Laneige Cream Mist or you can apply rosehip oil like from The Ordinary and then apply your moisturizer to lock in the moisture this might help with that tight and dehydrated feeling. I also have found applying a thin layer of Vaseline (1-2 nights) helps as well. This is called slugging if you haven’t heard of it. The colder weather definitely makes my rosacea worse so I completely agree with you! Bring on the warmer weather! 🏖☀️👙 we can totally connect on social media! I feel the exact same way you do as I have no one that understands what I’m going through as well! My name is Crissy by the way (this is under my hubby’s name lol) have a wonderful day! 🥰🥰

[@rosemary5005]

I saw that Beauty Bay have a couple of new products from their own brand By Beauty Bay. It’s a 50 ml serum with Alpha arbutin and Tranexamic acid and a night treatment/sleeping mask with Salicylic acid and Azelaic acid. I’m going to buy both next month - I’ve already bought this month’s skincare, I need to hold my horses.. 🐎 🐎

[@strokesgirl7252]

hey how did these products go for you? xx

[@May04bwu]

I have to say hyaluronic acid has done wonders for me. I had oily skin with acne but also had tears on my skin, especially upped cheeks. I started using HA gel serum and a HA overnight mask (both made by Mixa) and my skin is so much better!

[@bombysh]

Do you have rosacea?

[@AkaAshen]

Thankyou, I love the no BS videos that you do! You are a gem 😁

[@CloudslnMyCoffee]

My go-tos: La Roche Posay Toleraine Hydrating Gentle Cleanser or Cere Ve Hydrating Facial gentle cleanser, Peach Slices Azelaic Acid, Vanicream Vitamin C ,La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer (non-UV version at night, UV version during the day). I use Paula's Choice BHA toner as needed. My skin is highly reactive to sulfur or benzyl peroxide. I have sunhats and visors and UV blocking sunglasses. I am considering the Bluestone sunshield, but I'm still unsure if I would wear it out.

[@doraj7917]

I have mild rosacea and the Inkey list's Oat cleansing balm is perfect. Very soothing. My other skincare products are also non irritating, and don't trigger it. Unfortunately, alcohol, exercise (sweat), very strong sun during summer and the cold weather seem to trigger it, and I can't really do anything about it.

[@sophiecharlottementalhealth]

I've found that Rovectin's Treatment Lotion to be an incredible option at the 'toner' stage - it's so soothing and I love it. If you want another stronger azelaic acid, Dermatica have a 20% cream that I'm finding really effective. Just some things to look into my skin friends 😊

[@Jbbb123]

For anyone who lives in a country with "dm" as a drugstore I'd recommend the "Balea Med Ultra Sensitive Tagescreme" as a moisturizer. Really inexpensive and my skin is almost rosacea-free nowadays.

I was diagnosed with rosacea and prescribed doxycycline, even though I told the dermatologist that I did not want that since I take doxy all the time for chronic sinus infections. So, I decided to try Paula’s Choice Azelaic Acid instead and while applying it, I broke out in hives on my face and neck instantly. Besides a second opinion, any tips?

So hyped over this video!! Only person that has shown multiple products in each skin routines. I have just flush on cheeks and nose no bumps but I have noticed after my children it sorta got worse. It could be bc I was 20 and pregnant or just hormones. It runs in my family big time.

[@jojoton4eva]

Hi Cassandra! I've been watching your videos since 2009 (15 yrs!) and always found them helpful. I find your skincare videos more helpful than some of the dermatologists videos on here, which are too basic. They don't talk about ingredients that are helpful, or how to combine skincare for rosacea and anti-ageing for example. Can you make an updated 2024 video for this? Has there been any inovation in the rosacea products in the past 3 years? I've had vascular rosacea since I was a teenager(it wasn't too bad), combined with very oily skin, so I focused on treating the oiliness causing my acne. But now in my 30s my skin changed, it's combination to dry and my rosacea now is my worst problem, nicenamide is really irritating me, I get more and more visible blood vessels and pustules. I want to start using retinals/retinoids and vitamin C, but I'm afraid it will worsen my rosacea. Can you help with some advice?

[@Kimmb1968]

My go to Sunscreens are Differin Oli control moisturizer spf 30 broad spectrum and I LOVE the Bliss. The Bliss IS my make up. I do not wear foundation.

[@Dav3yduck]

I get really bad papular pustule rosacea in summer every time it reaches 40 degrees (Australian) it comes up and the bump will last for monthsss, I also get breakouts that Are hormonal frequently lucky I discovered azealic acid it helps both for acne and rosacea let’s hope for a good skin summer 😌

I’m a nerd with rosacea, so both sides of me appreciate your thorough descriptions greatly! 🤓😊😂 Thank you so much! Just one question: Is rose water good for rosacea? I use it when I feel my skin too dry, especially when I wear makeup. But I’m wondering if it clasifies as a “fragance” and might trigger rosacea. I’m just learning to get my rosacea under control, so I really can’t tell if it’s good or bad to my skin. Thanks, again!

[@thanospappas3816]

Hey Cassandra thanks for the video, massively informative! Question - I have rosacea, sensitive and oily skin at the same time. Moisturisers and sunscreens make my face look even oilier whereas mattifying products make rosacea worse :/ any advice?

[@monicamesecar9126]

Elta MD’s UV Clear Sunscreen! People rave about it for acne and rosacea, and if I recall it’s made with oily skin in mind due to a high niacinamide content. Plus it’s SPF 46. Only downside is, it’s kinda expensive.

I have rosacea, sensitive and oily skin too, I use a sunscreen 50+ from Avène and it doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. I also use a moisturizer (just a tiny bit) before applying the SPF.

[@queenieedwards]

Thank you so much for posting your videos about rosacea, which I'm finding informative and useful. I'm 59 years old and have just been diagnosed with inflammatory rosacea. To be honest, I think I've had rosacea for some years without realising it. Until the last few months it was just transcient facial flushing that I experienced and it didnt bother me. Now, though, ive got pinky red pustular posts on my forehead, cheeks and around my nose on top of thread veins on my cheeks and nose. I applied cool natural greek yoghurt on my face for ten minutes two days ago but it seemed to make my spots worse. Cant understand why, I thought being a probiotic it would soothe my skin. It did, however, feel nice on application and left my skin feeling soft and moisturised. I now wonder if the cool temperature of the yoghurt irritated my rosacea and not the yoghurt itself. Any thoughts on this would be most welcome.
