For those living in Europe: The brand Theramid has a 15% Azelaic Acid Lotion that works really well. Acnemy has 10% sulfur mask that is also amazing. Both are quite affordable given the concentration. :)

When I changed my diet and eliminated sugar and lowered my carbohydrates. All of my redness and pustules went away... I focused on whole foods, lots of vegetables and Animal proteins..... My skin completely cleared up... I was Told by my dietitian that lower carbohydrates in the diets in high amounts of vegetables lowers inflammation in the whole body...i do still use 10% azelaic acid. Naturium does not peel at all.

[@izabelazanin1124]

@@user-ng8yb9fd1k you don't have to completely cut out carbs. Always prioritize low to medium glycemic index carbs instead (they're digested slower in our bodies, leaving us fuller for longer and reducing that post-meal sleepiness caused by insulin spikes from high glycemic index or processed carbs), like brown rice, red rice, whole wheat pasta (you can even make your own with vegetables, look it up on KZbin), sweet potatoes, boiled corn, and yams. You can also incorporate more legumes like beans, lentils, chickpeas, make a quinoa-based salad (it's delicious), eat more vegetables like cabbage, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, opt for healthier fats like extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado (it's amazing with salads or as guacamole!), and nuts. If you increase your intake of animal protein, especially beef, you also tend to feel fuller for longer since our bodies take longer to digest it. I recommend checking out Tish Wonders' "balanced bowls" videos, she shares various delicious and beautiful recipes that will definitely inspire you to be more creative in the kitchen. Hope it helps :)

My face can go from fine porcelain white to bright red in about 20 minutes and it takes about two hours to clear it up!

For anyone who may be wondering what Dr. Idriss is referring to around the 08:55 mark (Dr. Jart's green, redness-canceling Cicapair) -- she's referencing Color Theory. You'll want to look up something called a Color Wheel which shows what are referred to as Complementary Colors. The complementary colors will be directly across from each other on the wheel. For example, green cancels out red. Yellow will minimize purple (think under the eyes) and vice versa (purple will brighten dull/yellow undertones), etc. Happy color correcting, y'all! 😊❤

[@Jasmine215100]

Yes, I am familiar with Color Theory and the wheel of opposite colors!

[@Elvira-k3r]

For inside-out help, get your A1C checked. High-carb diets and subsequent high blood sugar/insulin resistance is frequently the culprit with those suffering from rosacea. Getting the diet in check and getting those glucose spikes flattened will heal a lot of health issues and your skin will start chilling out, too 😁.

I suffered from Papulopustular Rosacea for years and nothing got rid of the symptoms, I could only manage them with difficulty. But 10 years ago (~ age 50), I stopped eating dairy altogether. I noticed a remarkable difference after 3 months with the redness, and my skin was totally cleared after 6 months. Is there anyone else out there who has had a similar experience?

[@lvzane]

I have had rosacea all my life, and it made my teen years very difficult. Every time I endured a stressful situation (like a class presentation), my face was RED. I mean - red, like beetroot or a traffic lightning red. It made me feel very bad about myself and also developed an unhealthy relationship with cosmetics which made me look even worse. When I defended my master's thesis in front of all the professors and other students, I was so stressed out my face was RED, and no amount of foundation could hide it. It was close to a nightmare situation. Eventually, I learned that cutting out sugar and carbs helps me. My whole life I've been ashamed of my blushing problem, and I become paralyzed when it comes to situations with elevated heart rate. Also, it makes me use an excess amount of foundation and concealer daily since it makes me feel safer psychologically, even though I have realized that my redness has noticeably lessened after changing my diet.

[@Jasmine215100]

Have you recently tried V-Beam Lasers and tetracyclines? Also there is a procedure called ETS (Endoscopic Transthoracic Sympathectomy) where they will cut the nerves to your sympathetic nervous system and you CANNOT flush or turn red after this! Not everyone is a candidate!

[@vivirodriguezc]

I was recently diagnosed with rosacea and realized I suffered from it for my whole life. During my childhood and teenage years I suffered very bad ocular rosacea(eyelid dryness, inflamation and flaking, eye redness, recurrent blefaritis and dry eye). I was very lucky my cornea didn't got damaged since I suffered from this undiagnosed for 19 years. At that age I started treating my acne caused by pcos and my eye symptoms improved a lot. But being realistic, I think most of those "acne breakouts" were really rosacea episodes. I'm now 27 and in my 20's my skin got more and more sensitive (it has always been, but now is worse). Right now I'm in treatment for rosacea and been feeling a lot better. I'm very grateful with myself because even without a diagnose, I was treating my sking gently and using products that didn't make my rosacea worse.

My esthetician said my capillaries are close to the surface of my skin. Based on your examples, I don't think I have rosacea, but now I want to see a derm for laser treatments like you did. My cheeks get rosey and it's embarrassing when people point it out.

[@lindagreen8505]

The BEST rosacea video ever. I think you covered it all!! It took forever to be properly diagnosed. In fact I was treated as adult acne in my 30’s and put on tretinoin which was a total disaster. Years later I determined it was really rosacea. Now at 76 it’s controlled with many of the products you mentioned. I love hypochlorous acid spray and can’t wait to try the Nizoral shampoo.

[@staceyo1723]

I had great skin until I did microdermabrasion as part of a spa day in my 20’s. I developed rosacea afterward (the zitty looking one). It took 10 years to get it under control. It’s been gone 10+ years now but was so frustrating to deal with. Hang in there! It CAN get better. Azaleic acid, mild skincare, no sun/heat, and SPF. Now that it’s gone, I still wear SPF but can do all the other things without problems, including prescription Retin A.

As a fellow rosacea sufferer, specifically redness and pustules, I’ve found the De La Cruz mask to be a game changing product. Yes it may smell like eggs, but you seriously can’t beat the price - I won’t try other products because they’re just fancy marketing…that’s literally what most products are - marketing. Most brands work with the same contact manufacturers, making slight changes to the formula and then the rest is story telling/marketing. Also highly recommend the Paula’s Choice booster, and I found taking zinc supplements to be helpful. Outside of that, keep the stress low, Ashwaghanda supplements help for that, and WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!!

Follow that with micellar water or a mild cleanser to make sure all the oil from the balm is off. No smell, and it still works!

I just added a centella serum after testing it on half my face for a few weeks (honestly for me the best way to gauge reactions, keep one side the same and test one new thing on one side of the face so you have a control subject) and it’s making a big difference.

Just an FYI for anyone with the face dandruff of rosacea, which I had in nose creases, between my eyebrows, my chin area and sometimes in my eyebrows... ketoconazole worked great in my eyebrows and it worked fast. I tried and tried for over a year to get similar results on the skin areas but it never worked. So I tried the De La Cruz "Acne Treatment" with 10% sulfur nightly. One month in, it's working beautifully!! I can wear foundation or concealer as foundation on my nose and between eyebrows and on chin and the flakes are disappearing. I couldn't be happier! I wear it only at night and thinly layer it randomly before or after my creamy retinol and Finacea. I only change one product at a time so I absolutely know this yucky and cheap sulfur product is the reason my skin dandruff is clearing. Another product I would never live without - not mentioned by Dr. Idriss in this vid - is niacinamide. I've used various brands and they all help to reduce oiliness on my T-zone and I feel it calms my cheek redness. I use a liquid spray in the humid months and a gel-based niacinamide in drier months. But the niacinamide and ketoconazole never cleared my skin dandruff (although they helped a bit). Only the sulfur is making the visible difference. Finally, I LOVE baby butt paste to calm any irritation and burning feeling from unavoidable rosacea flares that won't calm on their own. I can't get the Triple Paste (12.8% zinc ox) brand in Canada but I've used other brands and they work too (e.g. The Ordinary's ~5-6.4% zinc ox sunscreen sadly discontinued was my fave, Eucerin Healing Cream for babies with zinc ox 15%, and even Hello Bello Diaper Rash Cream at 40% zinc ox). They all absolutely calm and restore me to baseline, well controlled rosacea. Thanks so much for this video, Dr. Idriss!!

I always learn soooo much from you. Mil gracias!! I only wish your depuffer didn’t have niacinamide 😢, my sensitive skin can’t handle niacinamide even though it’s supposed to support with redness?!?! Also, would you be able to do an anti-aging routine for rosacea/sensitive skin?!?! 💕

I feel grateful for my own Dermatologist. Last year I suddenly broke out in what I thought was adult acne. My Derm took one look at my photos and was like "nope, that's Papulopustular Rosacea". I tried the antibiotic route, which gave me severe anxiety as well as a mild blood nose (which I've literally never had happen before/not normal for me), so internal antibiotics are an absolute no-go for me personally. If you suffer from general anxiety issues, just be aware antibiotics can potentially worsen it and if so, speak to your doctor. I am now on Soolantra and Elidel cream, both working very well for me so far BUT you have to stick with it long term, Ivermectin (Soolantra) often needs a few months of use to work properly and not just a couple weeks. For me, OTC skincare was not adequate for controlling my type of Rosacea.

Oh my goodness. I cannot tell you how helpful this was. I never thought I had rosacea but everytime you mentioned something else was "yes my face does that". I am so excited now to finally start treating this situations. I used to use Nizotal shampoo all the time. I even did the the ng with bringing it by my nose but it was too harsh. Anyway....thank you for this informatiin

[@anniesimone]

Genius! Thanks to dr Idriss I got a hold of my constant red dots popping up. I use dandruff schampo (actually daily) and they vanished. 🙌So wish her products were available in Sweden though. She knows what she's doing, for sure!

Rosacea sufferers should get tested for nickel allergy. Nickel in your body (by food or contact with touching) will cause inflammation in other areas such as your face. Just learned this and learning how to remove nickel from my diet.

[@vmmurphy3918]

Interesting….i have a nickel allergy. Can only wear titanium earrings. I have mild rosacea

[@rosbergmalin]

Wait…nickel in food? I have nickel allergy and also both ocular and Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea. Which food have nickel?

[@JA-fg7bi]

@@rosbergmalin I am just learning now, but google low nickel diet. I think chocolate, whole wheat, whole grain and soy are probably the worst.

[@JA-fg7bi]

@@vmmurphy3918 I stopped wearing jewelery, but titanium is probably best choice.

Sometimes my rosacea really catches me off guard, like when we traveled to a high-altitude town in Utah. My skin was SO irritated and red and now I travel with ALL my goodies so I can treat a flare up anywhere. Other times, like when it's very hot outside (California summers) and you're at an event-- sigh! "No, everyone! I am NOT drunk! ...or having a heat stroke!"

[@Jasmine215100]

I used to work with a woman who would poke fun at me when I flushed red, and my Rosacea had JUST started! I barely turned red back then, I had the most perfect skin (and she had told me a short while before this, she said "You have such pretty skin!" I KNOW she didn't like me! She was a little older than I am (I think she thought I was stealing some of our male coworkers attention away from her!

[@Nubesyxochis]

@@Jasmine215100 Omg, so not only do you have to deal with your rosacea but HER twisted insecurities!!

[@Jasmine215100]

@@Nubesyxochis I haven't seen her in years but I was first diagnosed with it in 1987 and I was working with her then!

[@giuliapedroni1462]

I have had rosacea since my 20s (actually started after a wide spread staph infection that I had on my face) so in the years I studied a lot and learnt how to control it. So another really good product that combines zinc oxide and Centella is the Cosrx Centella Blemish Cream, again not something you'd go out to work with but definitely calms redness and the spots related to rosaces without clogging pores. If you live in the UK/EU another great product that has been working amazingly well (better than some prescriptions I used in the past) is the Sachi Skin Pro-resilience Serum, it literally calms my skin in 10 minutes and even though expensive it is worth every penny!

Can you make a video on wholesome skincare brands from health food stores like whole foods, natural grocers, etc? I really appreciate all your info esp for rosacea skin! 💗💗

[@hollypgh84]

You are amazing Dr. Idriss! You are so educated and compassionate, which really is the perfect combination for these types of discussions ❤ Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us red-faced nerds 😂

[@chungyiju]

Thank you so much! 積雪草，杜鵑花酸，BP, sulfur, zinc oxide, ketokonazole, I’ll keep these things in mind😊

[@moonwalker794]

Thank you so much for this 😭 I did so much over stripping of my poor sensitive face thinking I was doing the right thing

[@jackyja343]

Omg yes I need some recommendations am always feeling flushed and it so embarrassing and uncomfortable just sucks need to see a Dermatologist asap hopefully I can get something or help

[@hydroblader4528]

Centella Asiatica, my favorites: Vegreen "Cica Serum" Skin1004 "Probio-Cica intensive Ampoule" PDX Cica-Exo aftercare Cream

[@eleanorjenks7874]

For me it’s one of the OGs - LRP Cicaplat Balm 👌👌 I have tired so many cica options and came back to this.

[@CherylE6119]

I don't have rosacea but what a great video!! 😊

[@R2P2303]

THANK YOU! This helped me a ton. Can you speak to the difference between rosacea and frequent flushing? ❤

[@liviusss]

I think frequent flushing can lead to rosacea with the constant dilation of the capillaries...

[@gentlelikefire8392]

I definitely don’t have severe rosacea (Indian woman) but it’s mild enough where I notice the dryness and pain when it’s dry/cold/changing seasons. Thanks so much for this

[@Jenny-my4co]

Thank you! I always love when you talk Rosacea. Really appreciate the details! 😘

[@LG-zg8mw]

God bless you, I’ve been dealing with rosacea for years and nothing has helped. I will try sulfur!

[@marygillespie2028]

The flakes caused by yeast also respond to zinc pyrithione. I like Noble Formula bar soap, which also has emu oil to prevent drying. For me, it works better than Nizoral.

[@ErinJ-r4n]

I’ve been watching for several months now…. I really appreciate that you link to a lot of different products that are readily available to everyone, and not just your own line! With that said, I have been using your major fade line and depuffer for about a month and I really love it! 😊

[@anapatrao6092]

Thank you so much for adressing rosacea once again! Have been asking on your insta for this! You're a kind heart, such a lovely person! Wish you gave consultations here in Portugal! Have a great weekend 😃

[@KazHampson]

Just what I needed Shereen, my rosecea has been flaring up recently. Highly recommend all dr Sam buntings products. Would love to try your de puffer when you ship to the uk. Love your videos.

[@ttogytsirhc]

I was just wondering about Dr Sam’s products- Dr Idriss says the nightly serum has 2% vitamin C ester but the only one I find has 2% retinol. Is this one you have tried? Thanks :)

[@Majorjabroni]

Thank you soooo much for the walgreens soolantra alternative! Soolantra is super expensive but the walgreens otc version is so cheap, doesnt irritate me at all, and for the first time in years my skin is not stinging and itchy. Huge improvement in just 48 hours, thank you for giving me relief I was miserable

[@myhottea]

Thank you Dr.Idriss! Great video! My eyes filled at the conclusion of your video when you described the psychosocial aspect of living with rosacea. The struggle is real. I have become so sensitive that I can't wear any makeup right now and I am in the middle of an extreme flare. I use a prescription Ivermectin/Metronidazole compound. Which product that you have listed would you suggest that I begin with for some over the counter additional support?

[@sandrawhite7191]

Thank you so much for this so detailed video. I have been fighting Rosacea (with a dermatologist and my eye doctor help) for years and I learned new things from this video. Please continue with this excellent information.

[@batternbaked3073]

I have rosacea, No papules or bumps. My doc prescribed me tretinoin .025 and increased me to .05. I'm able to tolerate it, but sometimes, my cheeks get really flushed. He prescribed that for the sebaceous filaments and blackheads on my nose and chin. I also use Paula's choice bha every other day. Just bought Naturium Azelaic 10% and plan to stop the BHA. I use Delacruz and triple paste on Sundays!

[@AliP1970]

Thank you so much for this video!! As a long-term sufferer of rosacea, I now have a new shopping list, as well as self-esteem, to purchase and use the right products. Much love from mid Michigan!💜

[@LCG1421]

Thank you for your content and for educating us! My current pregnancy has caused the worst flare of rosacea I’ve ever had. Implementing your tips have made such an improvement!❤❤

[@suzandevore3562]

Thank you so much!!! I am so happy to be introduced to some new products for my tool chest! I was also prescribed doxycycline for my skin and ocular symptoms. Had to up the dose to 100 mg recently due to seasonal allergies layered on top of the rosecia. That seems to be working for now but I expect that will change as my treatment has changed through the years as my skin has changed. Thank you again for your content and your product line. It’s made a huge difference!

[@svetlana_kapranova]

I used a Ketoconazole shampoo to threat a dandruff in my ears (that I think was triggered by niquel allergy, but I am not sure because I did not see a doctor) that remained for months even though I stopped using earings. One day using it and it improved 90%!! I think in the next two days it will be gone! Thank you!

[@hydroblader4528]

My favorite Azelaic Acids - cheap & every elegant texture: Geek & Gorgeous "aPAD* (20% Azeclair derivative - Serum) Q+A "Azelaic Acid" (10% - lotion)

[@NicoleneOReilly]

I used the 10% from The Ordinary for 8 years. I had a bad flare and found 20% through Dermatica. But the game changer for me was a random 17% aPAD from Amazon. And it's a thin serum, so I can wear it under whatever I want.

[@alisonpike1217]

Thank you for another informative video. I do have mild Rosacea, so I devour any content you release on the subject! It's all helped tremendously. I'm in Canada, so we do have a lot of restrictions on ingredients in skincare. The Tripple Paste cream is not available here! Are there any others in that category that you can recommend?

[@athenachristinemusic]

I am so glad I found you! I’ve learned sooo much. Sulfur and salicylic acid transformed my skin. I’m also a big ol chemistry nerd… so this is perfect lol

Just last week my eyelids had what I thought was an eczema outbreak, I treated it with hydrocortisone and doubled up my allergy medicine. I also have Roscea, my eyelids did have flaky, red skin. They are looking much better now.

Not gonna lie, everytime I watch your video all I wonder is what foundation (or tinted moisturizer) you use cuz it looks AMAZING. (also as a rosacea sufferer, thank you for the tips!)

[@haladoski7175]

my friend has rosacea she spend all her life that she has severe acne and taking acne pills( roaccutane ) ending up to irritating her skin alot ...... thank you in deep of my heart for this video it will help her alot how to deal with her rosacea ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lasma_d]

I have had terrible rosacea all my life. I’ve been using Drunk Elephant A-Passioni retinol cream and (to my surprise) whenever I use it I wake up with nice even skin tone and no red cheeks. First, I thought it’s a coincidence, but now having applied it throughout this past winter, I can tell that’s the cream that helps to calm my skin! Is it something in that cream, because I don’t believe it’s retinol itself that does that? 😅

[@ratherbquiltn]

I use it successfully too. I think the niacinamide in it helps.

[@JoseSantana-be5ik]

blessed with all the possible triggers for rosacea, just awesome :')
