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
Neutrogena Anti-Dandruff Shampoo - 16 Fl Oz
Sulphur soap helps a lot however I find it to be drying so remember to give your skin some extra moisture after using it
JOESOEF Sulfur Soap for Acne Treatment
Love this so much. It feels amazing on my skin and it's not irritating
