WHAT IS THE BEST FACE MOISTURIZER FOR ROSACEA?

Moisturizer is a critical component of any rosacea sufferers’ skincare routine because it creates a protective barrier for the skin, and helps prevent dryness that’s often associated with the condition. The best face moisturizer for rosacea is one that is light, hydrating, and free of irritants. When trying to find a moisturizer for rosacea, keep an eye out for one with ingredients that are calming, like the flower water found in our Hydrating Mist.

The most important thing to keep in mind when selecting a moisturizer for rosacea is to test it on a small patch of skin first to ensure that it won’t cause a big flare-up.

WHAT IS A GOOD FACE CREAM FOR ROSACEA?

An anti-pigmentation cream can be helpful in treating rosacea because these creams include ingredients that can help neutralize discoloration, including redness caused by the condition.

Those with rosacea tend to have highly reactive skin, so it’s wise to exercise caution when choosing skincare products. When buying a face cream for rosacea, be on the lookout for ingredients that are gentle, like zinc oxide, and stay away from irritating products that include alcohol, fragrances, and lactic acid. You also want a moisturizer that is non-comedogenic so it doesn’t clog your pores.

Our All Calm® Clinical Redness Corrector SPF 50 is formulated to soothe skin, immediately correcting redness while providing continuous relief and protection from irritation. It also protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays, which are some of the biggest triggers for rosacea.

idea bulb

WHAT ARE EFFECTIVE SKINCARE TIPS TO TREAT ROSACEA?

Like many other skin conditions, rosacea typically requires a multi-faceted approach for the best results. First and foremost, you need to determine which type of rosacea you are suffering from—vascular, inflammatory, phymatous, or ocular rosacea. Understanding your condition will allow you to find the right products and cream for rosacea that will target your specific symptoms and achieve a calmer complexion.

That said, there are general skincare practices that you can implement in your daily routine to help improve your condition. To start, you should be using a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser. As we mentioned earlier, moisturizer is also critical to keeping rosacea symptoms at bay because it helps the skin stay hydrated.

When choosing a face cream for rosacea, consider your options carefully. Our All Calm® Redness Corrector is one of our best-selling products, and is formulated to reduce redness while protecting your sensitive skin. Powered by BioSolace® (our proprietary blend of specialty ingredients), All Calm can provide ongoing relief that helps improve your condition over time.

Since sun exposure is a common trigger of rosacea, you should use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher any time you’re exposed to the sun, in addition to your rosacea treatment cream of course. Try to ensure that the sunscreen you choose is broad-spectrum—meaning that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

But the sun isn’t the only irritant that can make your rosacea more noticeable. There are also environmental factors that your skin needs protection from. Luckily, Colorescience also carries face redness products that protect your skin from environmental stressors such as pollution, blue (HEV) light, and infrared radiation—like our Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50.

When it comes to skincare tips for rosacea, makeup can also play an important role. When choosing your products, consider the rosacea symptoms you suffer from, and remember to choose products that will help keep the next flare-up at bay.

For example, you will likely benefit from a foundation for dry skin, since many makeup formulas can dehydrate the skin. Wearing a hydrating foundation such as our Colorescience® Tint du Soleil™ UV Protective Foundation can help heal your skin while creating a more even complexion.

By carefully crafting a comprehensive skincare routine (including the right cream for rosacea) that’s designed to help relieve symptoms, protect your skin, and create a more even skin tone, you can take control of your condition and begin feeling confident in your skin again.

WHAT SUNSCREEN IS GOOD TO USE WITH ROSACEA?

As we mentioned, sunscreen is a critical component of rosacea care. You want to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. You also want to look for “broad spectrum” on the label. That’s because SPF only blocks UVB rays, and with your sensitive skin, you need something that will also protect against UVA rays.

However, there are also many environmental stressors above and beyond UV rays that are harmful to your skin, causing irritation and skin damage. In order to ensure that your skin is fully protected, try using sunscreen that defends against all of these external factors.

Pairing your rosacea face cream with the right sunblock* is essential to keeping your skin calm and protected at all times. At Colorescience we understand the importance of healthy skin, which is why our sunscreens and skincare products are designed to safeguard your skin against damage, without using any harmful chemicals.

Use our Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 whenever you head out into the sun, so you know your sensitive skin is fully protected.

HOW DO I GET RID OF ROSACEA ON MY FACE?

While rosacea can be managed, there currently isn’t a permanent cure for this skin condition.

In addition to regularly using face cream for rosacea, our sunscreen for sensitive skin can also help prevent flare-ups without causing additional redness or irritation. Using our All Calm® Corrective Kit for Redness is the perfect solution for those with rosacea because it has been specifically designed to help manage redness and sensitivity while also protecting your skin with SPF.

Even though you can’t completely get rid of rosacea, that doesn’t mean you have to settle for blotchy skin. Colorescience has formulated a primer for sensitive skin that provides a generous amount of coverage and is gentle on easily irritated skin. Alternatively, our foundation for sensitive skin provides great coverage for when your rosacea flare-ups are especially noticeable.

idea bulb

DOES DRINKING WATER HELP ROSACEA?

While drinking water is not a comprehensive solution for rosacea, it does keep your skin healthy and moisturized, which can help reduce irritation. In addition to staying hydrated, there are some dietary measures that can directly help with rosacea, including reducing your consumption of alcohol and spicy foods.

Another way to ensure that your skin gets the moisture it needs is by using hydrating skin care products. These solutions provide the protection and coverage you need, without the harmful drying effects that often trigger rosacea symptoms.

Many rosacea sufferers are not aware that the ingredients in their favorite skin products may actually be making their condition worse. Consider Colorescience products like our customer-favorite All Calm® Corrective Kit for Redness, which includes a skin cream for rosacea. We specialize in non-irritating formulas that stay away from harsh chemicals and fragrances—and focus on improving your complexion.

With a Colorescience total skincare regimen designed to help with your rosacea, you’ll see the difference in your skin and in your confidence.

*Sunblock is not a term approved by the FDA. Colorescience refers to our products as sun protection.
