Step 1: Cleanse!

Step 1: Cleanse!
The first part of any good routine is to cleanse your face, but with rosacea you can’t just use any cleanser. Because rosacea makes your skin prone to irritation, always use a gentle cleanser to hydrate your skin!
It’s relatively cheap and works wonders for me!
Hydrating Facial Cleanser: Skin Refresh
Another good one I’ve used! You can find these almost anywhere.
YOU AcnePlus Low pH Calming Cleanser for Oily Acne-Prone Skin 100gr
This is the one that I use every single day. It’s worked for me when nothing else has and I absolutely adore it.

Step 2: Retanoids!
Always use at night and only on DRY skin! Remember to put on SPF the next morning!
It's super gentle and it works great for me!
Black Rice Night Knight Retinol Serum (20 ml)
It doesn't irritate my skin, and it's excellent for sensitive skin.
0.1 Gentle Retinol Serum
I use this everywhere!
Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal

I love Korean skincare to help with barrier repair.
Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream | Daily Care
This brand in general is great for rosecea.
Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream | Skin Care
The best for the budget girlies (like me)
Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer

Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream
Mugwort is super great for calming inflammation
ISNTREE Mugwort Calming Cream 50ml
Optional: Azelaic Acid
I've seen it everywhere online, especially on TikTok, to use Azelaic Acid on your skin. It's beneficial for rosacea, and depending on your skin type, it may be particularly suitable for you. Just do not use any chemical exfoliants with it, though!
When I worked at Ulta these would fly off the shelves.
