What If Your Rosacea Treatment Was Made Just For You?
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin condition which is characterized by long-term redness around the face, neck, and chest; and sometimes includes bumps and swelling. Research for its cause is still ongoing, but typically occurs in those past the age of 30, those with a history of smoking, or those with a family history of rosacea. While its exact cause is unknown, potential factors for flare-ups may include the sun and wind, hot drinks, spicy foods, alcohol, hot and cold temperatures, stress, exercise, some medications, cosmetics and skincare.
Common signs:
● Flushing
● Persistent redness
● Bumps and pimples
● Visible blood vessels
Common symptoms:
● Eye irritation
● Burning, stinging
● Dry skin
● Rash
● Facial swelling
How do I treat Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that does not currently have a cure. Treatment is typically used for flare-ups and to minimize symptoms. The most common treatments for rosacea are topical ones applied to the affected areas daily throughout the duration of symptoms. The exact treatment varies from person to person, as the severity of the condition also varies from person to person. However, it most often includes a cream or gel base with active ingredients including ivermectin, metronidazole, and oxymetazoline which all help to reduce redness, swelling and minimize bumps.
● Ivermectin: anti-inflammatory effects; beneficial in severe rosacea with pustular bumps
● Oxymetazoline: reduces redness
● Metronidazole: reduces redness and minimizes pustular bumps
