Rosacea | Redness

Rosacea often begins with slight redness in the cheek or chin area, accompanied by symptoms of dryness and sensitivity. Small, visible blood vessels (telangiectasias) may also develop. A precise diagnosis is important, which is why we recommend consulting a skin specialist at the first signs.

In later stages, rosacea is often characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, pimples or pustules. The appearance of thickened skin, particularly on the nose (rhinophyma), can also be an indication of advanced rosacea.

Yes, around 20% of rosacea sufferers also have eye involvement. This includes dry, sensitive eyes, redness or a foreign body sensation. This should also be clarified by a dermatologist or ophthalmologist.

Gentle, daily exfoliation can help to remove dead skin cells and open the pores, which facilitates the flow of sebum. This reduces inflammation and improves the skin's appearance.

Excess sebum can promote inflammation and exacerbate symptoms. By regulating sebum production, the risk of inflammation is reduced and the skin is soothed.

Retinol supports the strengthening of the skin barrier and regulates sebum production. For very sensitive skin, however, we recommend first stabilizing the skin barrier for around 6 weeks before gradually integrating retinol.

Daily sun protection is essential, as UV rays can increase redness and trigger new inflammation. A mineral sunscreen effectively protects against UV rays and soothes the skin.

Rosacea can take various forms and is difficult to recognize in its early stages. A dermatologist can make an accurate diagnosis and recommend a personalized treatment protocol specifically tailored to your skin needs.

In addition to daily skin care, treatment protocols that combine exfoliation, sebum regulation and photoprotective measures are particularly effective. Retinol and specific anti-inflammatory products can also help to soothe the skin in the long term.

Products such as All Calm® Clinical Redness Corrector from Colorescience offer immediate coverage of redness. The green pigmentation neutralizes redness and ensures an even complexion, while the mineral sunscreen protects the skin.
