Help with rosacea please

[Ilovecreamycoffee]

Hello

I am trying to help my mother. She suffers from rosacea. I don't know what kind. She has a red, sore and dry face. She has triggers like some foods and alcohol and heat and she avoids all that.

She had tried all the pharmacy stuff and expert skincare stuff that is available is pharmacies. Anything labelled for rosacea she has tried from the known brands like
La roche posay
Bioderma
Cereve (spelling?)
Aveene

She tried other creams and ointments and emollients too and got advice from pharmacists. None of it has worked for her. She even got a prescription two time from her GP. Still nothing worked for her.

Is there anyone here that can help or advise about rosacea?

The less rubbing of her skin the better. Treat it as you would if it was an open wound so really gentle.

Thank you for all the replies.

I am writing all this down for her. I ordered a few bits already for her.

My mam likes to use muslin cloths? To clean her face? Is there anything that can be used instead? Would a microfiber cloth be softer/better? Or is she not allowed to use any cloths?

I use boots fragrance free cleanser or simple on cotton wool pads. Anything abrasive will irritate the inflamed skin even more. That’s the opposite of how you need to treat it. If you are rubbing at an inflamed patch or pustule it’s going to get redder and more inflamed.

It's very hit an dmiss with products for my mother. I am finding it hard to find samples online. I bought a few already for my mam and if it doesnt agree with her or if she doesn't find them good she will pass them back onto me. I think I might try the cerave PM moisturiser. I found a deal online so I will give it a go and hope for the best.
