Rosacea!!! any tips on skin care which helps?

[heckythump01]

Ive been diagnosed with Rosacea, its not horrendous but it mainly affects around my nose and chin with redness and bumps. My eyes are also affected they are red, tired and i'm sensitive to sunlight......

Any top tips will be greatly appreciated.

Soolantra and hot compression to eyes

Watching with interest. I've recently been prescribed Mirvaso cream but it doesn't seem to be doing much.

I have just started using a range called Kalme. Not that expensive and I am finding it quite effective.

Possibly La Roche Posay, think they have some products for rosacea

I keep seeing ads on my newsfeeds for something called Rosalique? Supposed to be good for that I think!

I asked the same question a few weeks ago and someone suggested Dermalex . I have acne rosacea on my cheeks which flares up during PMT

Soolantra. Best thing ever for my rosacea. Got it because it was so highly recommended Mn.

The cleansing cream and moisturiser from The Kalme range Is only thing that works for me.

I keep getting Rosalique adverts on my instagram too. Would love to try it but it’s very expensive.

I thought i had rosacea and tried soolantra, ipl and tried various creams for a couple of years. Turns out it must have been cystic acne because Acnecide has just about cured it, spots gone, tiny bit of redness left that i'm going to try to get rid of with Retin A.

Is Soolantra a GP prescription thing?

Hi, if you are on Instagram, can I recommend my goodness recipes, this lady, Hanna Sillitoe has cured herself of psoriasis, she currently has two books out and has helped people with skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and rosacea..
I have both psoriasis and rosacea, I was told by a dermatologist not to eat, sugar, spicy foods and not to drink alcohol as this too causes the flushing. Since following Hanna Sillitoe, I have found out that having a vegan diet with no gluten and no nightshades ( tomatoes, white potatoes, chilli, paprika, aubergine) has really helped me, my body is clear of psoriasis and I dont have any pimples or pustules or dry skin on my face, the redness has reduced a heck of a lot too, she's definitely worth googling. Hope this helps OP

Azelaic acid from your GP

I use the Kalme products, my skins never looked better! Can get the day and night moisturiser and a green makeup undercoat that turns your natural skin colour to reduce the redness for around £40.

Azeleic acid and retinol help my rosacea. I get them from The Ordinary. V reasonably priced.

41Takeitonthechin that's a very restructive diet. What do you eat?

Soolantra. Don’t bother with anything else. I bought it from an online pharmacy.

I’d try all the gp treatments first.

To be honest OP if it’s in your eyes you need the 3/4 month low-dose antibiotic I would imagine. I’m surprised whoever diagnosed you didn’t give you that. I would go back.

Creams can work on the pustules and maybe a little bit on the redness, which are the outer manifestations of rosacea on your skin. But creams won’t work on whatever the cause is in your system.

My exH has rosacea and it was linked to dairy. He cut out dairy and it got better.

You’ve got to be careful to find other sources of vit d if you give up dairy.

I used to use soolantra but recently it’s not been effective for me. Mine is on my nose, it feels sore and has been especially bothered by wearing the masks at the minute! My eyes have also been affected feeling like they have sand in them and quite bloodshot. I don’t want to speak too soon but I’ve been using finacea for a few days and it’s seemed to help with the redness of both my skin & my eyes don’t seem so bad. I’m keeping my fingers & toes crossed. I don’t know why the soolantra stopped being effective.

I can also recommend the Kalme range from skinshop. I use their day and night moisturiser, and a serum (in a blue tube) also from skinshop but a different brand. Used consistently it is brilliant stuff.

I am having treatment for the red spider veins but for the bumps, the dermatologist recommended a specific cream/location with 20% Azelaix Acid, which I can get readily from the pharmacy (am in Aus so not sure if it's easy to get in the UK or not).

too many typos...! Dermatologist recommended cream/lotion with Azelaic acid.
