I suffer from rosacea type 2. I enjoy looking after my skin but it can be challenging especially during flare ups. I use prescription creams to keep my rosacea at bay. Here's a list of skincare products I have tried and tested and feel confident reco...
I usually apply a very light gel moisturiser first then this Cerave cream
CeraVe Moisturising Cream 50ml
Very lightweight! I absolutely love this product. It's so gentle and easy to apply. Doesn't irritate my skin. Usually I follow it with something heavier if my skin is very dry
Versed Dew Point Moisturizing Gel-Cream 2 fl. oz.
Very lightweight and non irritating (at least for me)! I usually follow this with a heavier moisturiser especially in winter
Probably the best product I have used for a while. So moisturising and no irritation. It's an overnight mask but I use it as a daily moisturiser
Moisture Surge™ Overnight Mask - Clinique
Spf 50 is a must if you suffer from rosacea. So far Eucerin has been working best for me. I usually wait till it's on offer and buy 2 or 3 ;)
Eucerin Sunscreen & Suncare | LOOKFANTASTIC
Very gentle retinol. Despite low concentration I still mix it with a bit of face cream to reduce risk of irritation and only when I feel like my skin can handle it
The Ordinary Retinol Serum 0.5% in Squalane 30ml - lookfantastic
Not everyone who suffers from rosacea can tolerate niacinamide. For me it's an absolute life saver!
The INKEY List Niacinamide Serum 30ml | LOOKFANTASTIC
I've recently added this to my routine. It's a little bit tacky but once absorbed you can't feel it (it absorbs quickly)
The INKEY List Ceramide Serum 30ml | LOOKFANTASTIC
Another recent addition. So far no irritation.
The INKEY List Q10 Serum 30ml | LOOKFANTASTIC
Special mention to this shampoo. The only thing that calms my scalp
Ziaja Med Anti-Dandruff Shampoo With Piroctone Olamine And Zinc ...
Absolutely love this!
All About Eyes™ Under Eye Cream for Puffiness - Clinique
Covers up redness so well and doesn't look heavy. A bit pricey but lasts a ling time as you don't need to use much. Start with areas that need most coverage and blend out
Skin Redness | Erborian US
Very gentle. Absolute favourite face wash
Water Boost Micellar Gel Facial Wash | Skincare Product Range
Easy to use. Perfect for holidays when you need a top up here and there
VICHY Idéal Soleil UV Stick SPF 50+ 9g
Truly amazing
Cicaplast Balm B5 for Dry Skin Irritations - La Roche-Posay
Rosehip oil (no matter what brand) seems to do wonders for my skin. I don't use it every day. Maybe 2-3 times a week on top of a good moisturiser. It's so soothing and makes my skin glow
The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 30ml
I use gua sha (please be very gentle!) usually with rosehip oil
Gua Sha Stones | LOOKFANTASTIC
This one contains a lot of fragrance so it's not going to work for everyone however for me it's the holy grail. In winter my skin is extremely dry, especially when I use my prescription topicals. Skin food is a lifesaver. Makes my skin soft and healt...
Weleda Skin Food 75ml | LOOKFANTASTIC
Rosehip oil is my holy grail. Makes my skin so soft
The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Tgel helps soothe my scalp a lot. I am not too keen on the smell so I usually use it for my first wash and something else for my second wash
