What to do about redness on the face?
With couperose, fine red veins on the face show through the skin permanently. Sun, strong heat or cold, alcohol, hot drinks and spicy food are considered typical triggers of facial redness. Which of them affect you is individual.
For couperose care, the rule is: a steady routine and daily sun protection. Cleanse with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. Introduce new products one at a time so you can see how your skin responds.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) and bisabolol (a skin-caring ingredient) are part of the Colorescience All Calm Multi-Correction Serum. ZO Skin Health Rozatrol 2.0 was developed for redness-prone skin and contains panthenol (provitamin B5), palmitoyl glycine (an amino acid bound to a fatty acid) and broccoli extract.
Avoiding triggers, caring gently and making sure of adequate sun protection: this basic care is established in dermatology for redness-prone skin. We also work with the products from ZO Skin Health and Colorescience in our cosmetic studio in Cologne. With inflamed bumps, pustules or burning skin, see a dermatologist: this can point to rosacea, which is a diagnosis, not a skincare question.
Sunlight is considered one of the typical triggers. With the Colorescience All Calm Clinical Redness Corrector SPF 50 (SPF = sun protection factor) you protect your skin with purely mineral filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). The green tint evens out skin redness in colour.
As a ready-made routine there is the Couperose-Set from ZO Skin Health (eight products, including exfoliation) and from iS Clinical (four products). Related topics are sensitive skin and a weakened skin barrier; you can read more about the barrier under ceramides (the skin's own barrier lipids). If you are unsure which care suits your skin, our free AI skin analysis is a first step.

Frequently asked questions about couperose
Which cream is suitable for couperose?
For couperose, a cream that cares for reddened, redness-prone skin is a good fit. ZO Skin Health Rozatrol 2.0 was developed for such skin: with it, you can soften the appearance of redness.
As a serum, the Colorescience All Calm Multi-Correction Serum with niacinamide fits well. You will find a ready-made routine in the Couperose-Set from ZO Skin Health or from iS Clinical. Start slowly and increase as long as your skin tolerates it well.
What do dermatologists recommend for couperose?
Experts recommend good basic care for redness-prone skin: avoid your own triggers, cleanse and care gently, make sure of adequate sun protection.
Whether rosacea is behind your redness is for a dermatologist to clarify. With inflamed bumps, pustules or burning skin, go there before you try new skincare.
What is the difference between couperose and rosacea?
In cosmetics, couperose describes a skin appearance: persistent redness and visible small veins on the face. Rosacea is a medical diagnosis: an inflammation of the facial skin that comes in flare-ups. In everyday language the two terms get mixed up.
Whether you have rosacea is for a dermatologist to clarify. The care in this selection is aimed at redness-prone skin and does not replace that visit.
Which sunscreen is suitable for couperose?
With couperose, sunscreen belongs in every morning routine, because sunlight is considered one of the typical triggers of redness. In this selection you will find mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
With the Colorescience All Calm Clinical Redness Corrector SPF 50 you also even out redness in colour, as it has a green tint. The Colorescience Mineral Corrector Palette SPF 20 is make-up for covering individual areas and does not replace sunscreen.
What should you avoid with couperose?
With couperose, it is best to avoid whatever makes your face flush further: strong sun, intense heat and cold, alcohol, hot drinks and spicy food. Cleanse with lukewarm water, then pat your skin dry.
Triggers differ from person to person. Over time, a diary can show you what your skin responds to.
Does couperose go away again?
With couperose, you can soften the look of redness with a cream, and tinted sunscreen evens it out in colour. We do not promise that visible veins disappear through skincare.
For visible veins, procedures with laser or light can be an option. A dermatologist can advise you on this.
