Answer 1

I have found great success with seabuckthorn oil soap by Face Doctor, this has reduced my redness by a ton! Seriously! My eye doctor told me about Face Doctor...he was concerned as Rosacea can cause blindness if left untreated...

I also use Laroche-Posay products which have a moisturizer called Rosaliac with a slight green tint that reduces the look of the redness...these are gentle to the skin...Good luck!

I try to stay out of the cold, the heat, the sun, away from alcohol and all the other things that can aggravate the redness

Rosacea can't be cleared up or cured by anything over-the-counter. You can minimize the appearance by washing your face with a very mild non-soap cleanser like Cetaphil and moisturize with the lotion also. The best thing you can do for rosacea is treat it like a rash, not acne. Don't use any cleansers for acne and try to stay out of the sun or wear sunblock, even in the wintertime. You can get a tinted moisturizer with sunblock all in one bottle...there are many different kinds just look for one that that doesn't clog pores. Aveno products are also soothing to skin disorders.

Niacinamide face cleansing pads are effective and simple way to keep acne away. Just place a pad on the pimple and watch it fade away. Lavender Oil helps prevent skin drying. Works for rosacea too. Niacinamide pads are also known as Nicotinamide pads or Vit B3 pads. Give them a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Treating rosacea varies from patient to patient depending on severity and subtypes. Dermatologists are recommended to take a subtype-directed approach to treating rosacea patients.[5]

Trigger avoidance can help reduce the onset of rosacea but alone will not normally cause remission for all but mild cases. The National Rosacea Society recommends that a diary be kept to help identify and reduce triggers.

It is important to have a gentle skin cleansing regimen using non-irritating cleansers. Protection from the sun is important and daily use of a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 containing a physical blocker such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is advised.

Oral tetracycline antibiotics (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline) and topical antibiotics such as metronidazole are usually the first line of defence prescribed by doctors to relieve papules, pustules, inflammation and some redness.[6] Oral antibiotics may also help to relieve symptoms of ocular rosacea. If papules and pustules persist, then sometimes isotretinoin can be prescribed.[7] Isotretinoin has many side effects and is normally used to treat severe acne but in low dosages is proven to be effective against papulopustular and phymatous rosacea.

The treatment of flushing and blushing has been attempted by means of the centrally-acting α-2 agonist clonidine, but there is no evidence whatsoever that this is of any benefit. The same is true of the beta-blockers nadolol and propanolol. If flushing occurs with red wine consumption, then complete avoidance helps. There is no evidence at all that antihistamines are of any benefit in rosacea.

People who develop infections of the eyelids must practice frequent eyelid hygiene. Daily scrubbing the eyelids gently with diluted baby shampoo or an over-the-counter eyelid cleaner and applying warm (but not hot) compresses several times a day is recommended.

Dermatological vascular laser (single wavelength) or Intense Pulsed Light (broad spectrum) machines offer one of the best treatments for rosacea, in particular the erythema (redness) of the skin.[8] They use light to penetrate the epidermis to target the capillaries in the dermis layer of the skin. The light is absorbed by oxy-hemoglobin which heat up causing the capillary walls to heat up to 70ºC, damaging them, causing them to be absorbed by the body's natural defense mechanism.

CO2 lasers can be used to remove excess tissue caused by phymatous rosacea. CO2 lasers emit a wavelength that is absorbed directly by the skin. The laser beam can be focused into a thin beam and used as a scalpel or defocused and used to vaporise tissue.
