Building the perfect rosacea skincare routine.
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect products to add to your rosacea skincare routine -- you’ve come to the right place. We’ve compiled a list of must-have rosacea-friendly products.
When dealing with rosacea you should be very aware of the ingredients in skincare products as common ingredients can trigger flare-ups. If you’re no stranger to red, angry, swollen or irritated skin then this article is for you. Keep scrolling to see our list of the best products for rosacea skincare.
If you have rosacea you might have heard about azelaic acid. This rosacea-friendly acid is great at reducing redness, swelling, and inflammation caused by rosacea. While it can be found in weaker OTC formulations, prescription-strength of 15% or higher has been found to be the most beneficial for rosacea symptoms.
Strut Rosacea Formula combines prescription-strength azelaic acid with the vasoconstrictor oxymetazoline which helps to constrict blood flow to reduce redness and swelling even more. The formula can also contain other rosacea ingredients like ivermectin and metronidazole, based on your rosacea needs.
This gentle but powerful combination helps to turn the dial down on rosacea symptoms. Unlike other prescriptions, our Strut Rosacea Formula is available online through our telemedicine services.
Not all cleansers are created equally.
Some cleansers (especially if they contain alcohol, fragrance, glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid) may even worsen rosacea symptoms. The CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser cleanses while it hydrates.
Because it’s rich in hyaluronic acid and ceramides it helps to strengthen the protective skin barrier. For those with rosacea, the health of the skin barrier is essential as its function is commonly impaired in rosacea patients.

As you build a rosacea-friendly skincare routine, calming and soothing products become a mainstay.
Mario Badescu’s Aloe Vera Toner is great for restoring pH balance after cleansing while soothing rosacea-induced inflammation.
Most toners use alcohol which can be triggering for rosacea, however, this alcohol-free and fragrance-free toner utilizes Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice to calm and soothe the skin. The aloe vera plant has long been known to be hydrating, calming, and anti-inflammatory for rosacea symptoms. Mother nature knows what’s up.
Moisturizing is essential to any skincare routine but especially for those with rosacea. Moisturized skin is happier skin. If you deal with redness, itchiness, or dryness of the skin this Era Organics Soothe Moisturizer may be a good choice as a daily moisturizer.
Speaking of daily moisturizers, a rosacea must-have is a daily SPF moisturizer.
The American Academy of Dermatology Association says just a few minutes of unprotected sun exposure on rosacea-prone skin can trigger major flare-ups. So, it’s important to protect yourself from the sun every day.
It’s important to note that not all sunscreens are rosacea friendly. Skin Restoring Moisturizer with SPF 50 by Paula’s Choice is rich with free-radical fighting antioxidants, skin barrier strengthening niacinamide and skin-soothing licorice root extract
If your rosacea does flare-up on you, a great way to curb any angry, red skin is to use cooling face masks. This Calendula Petal-Infused Calming Mask by Kiehl's is made of a creamy gel-like consistency and is instantly cooling on the skin.
The soothing power of calendula flower and aloe vera may help you get control of a rosacea flare-up with the use of other prescription topicals.
Rosacea commonly causes dry, flakey patches on the skin.
Dryness can exacerbate rosacea symptoms so it’s wise to provide your skin with nourishing oils often. Jojoba oil has been proven as a great facial oil for rosacea because it’s rich in free fatty acids, contains anti-inflammatory and skin barrier restoration properties.
The Desert Essence Organics Jojoba Oil is pure organic jojoba oil and is free of skin-irritating chemicals. This can be used as a part of double cleansing or as a moisturizer.
Using ice on inflamed skin is one of the quickest ways to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation.
The internet has recently exploded with people raving about skin ice rollers for face depuffing. But these little tools can also be great to help soothe chronically inflamed skin. Using an ice roller on your face for 10-20 minutes can reduce feelings of irritation and inflammation.
This PUR Botanicals Ice Roller is a great option to have stored away in your freezer, ready to go when you need it.
