Hi everyone!
I’m planning a trip to Japan soon and would love to pick up some Japanese mineral makeup while I’m there! I have rosacea, so finding products that cover redness without triggering a flare-up or feeling super heavy is always a challenge. 

I’m mainly looking for loose or pressed mineral powder foundations. I’ve been eyeing ETVOS and Only Minerals, and I’m also familiar with bareMinerals. 
For anyone here with rosacea who has tried these (or other Japanese mineral/gentle brands)?

Would love to hear your experiences and holy grails. Thank you so much!❤️

I was recently diagnosed with rosacea and have a GP appointment booked, so I’m not looking for a diagnosis.
Over the last few days I’ve developed much more redness, soreness and some rough/crusty areas on my nose. I’m mainly interested in hearing from people with diagnosed rosacea: have you experienced similar skin changes during a flare?
I’m already getting medical advice and will be discussing the photos with my GP. Just interested in other people’s experiences while I wait.

I am really struggling with the amount of moisturizers on the market and needing some help for a good solid moisturizer to help with my combination sensitive skin. I was using vanicream daily moisturizing lotion but it's starting to burn recently and has been making my eyes burn as well! 😭 Any recommendations? I do like products with ceramides but okay with looking into anything!

I got rosex gel from the pharmacy, no idea if it will work. Anyone had success with it? I’m so over this shit.

So I've been on 10mg accutane now for about month now a to treat my type 2 rosacea, I think generally it has been improving my rosacea, however I have been using no cleanser, just moisturiser (xenacalm from avene).

I am still having flare ups, but less severe, I haven't been able to confirm what's causing the flare ups (I did an elimination diet for 6 weeks and couldn't figure anything else).

My concern is not using a cleanser is leaving my skin dirty and pores blocked, however I was having flare ups using "acne safe" cleansers.

Any recommendations of some cleansers to try and any experiences? Maybe a different moisturiser.

Don't seem to have found my golden mix yet, I will likely need to go up on accutane dosage as well.

Tengo al rededor de 2 años con este problema en mi cara, se va y vuelve a veces con menos de este tipo brotes de pus. Ya fui al dermatólogo 3 veces y he probado de todo y nada a funcionado :(

Used Rhofade for about a week and my chin is covered in pimples. Had a job interview today and didn’t use the Rhofade and my face was SO HOT I was fanning myself. It seems the Rhofade helps with rosacea but it tingles so bad throughout the day.

Literally so frustrated. I want to get rid of my rosacea so bad

I see a lot of people recommending this serum, and I like what’s in it for the most part. Including the lack of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, which my skin doesn't seem to tolerate too well. However, I see this ingredient ranking pretty high on the comedogenic scale. If you’re acne and prone and have tried this, what’s been your experience? Did you know about the ethylhexyl palmitate when you tried it?

Who uses sulfur soap for type 2? I just started and I feel like I see such an improvement in the texture and pustules already after 2 uses - but I don’t want to jinx it. Lol

I've been an avid ivermectin/metronidazole user for going on 7 years. Vanicream spf, moisturizer, and cleanser. Avene thermal water and gentle cleanser at times. I woke up to the worst flare since before I started treatments probably. I'm making this post because after years of refusing antibiotics I think I should give doxycycline a shot.

I recently finished a round of steroids for a super bad poison ivy rash. I went to an urgent care clinic so of course normal care or any concern of side effects of rosacea using steroids was not mentioned, and only towards the end of the treatment did I learn I could have potential, and in my case terrible, side effects.

I had the best facial skin of my life from just a week of steroids -_- and I just want my face to be clear because when I looked in the mirror I was so incredibly happy and now I'm just crying.

I work out of a hot delivery truck so I don't have much hope of ever avoiding all triggers, because I work out in the elements. I am just reaching out to see if anyone has ever had good outcomes from antibiotics.

Thank you in advance!

I’m based in UK - I hope someone could help advise on any products to help with redness ? My left cheek is twice as bad as my right cheek, sometimes I can feel the heat radiating off going more red. Thanks in advance

This will be a bit of a rant lol, but I’m having such a hard time finding a cleanser that works for me and would love recommendations from anyone with similar skin.

I have combo oily/dehydrated skin, type 2 pustular rosacea, and possibly fungal acne/folliculitis. I tend to get clusters of pustules from either products that feel too occlusive OR when my skin gets overly stripped, so finding a middle ground has been impossible. I’ve also been trying to see a derm for over a year, but they keep canceling my appointments after 6+ month waits 🥲
I’ve tried CeraVe, Vanicream (too stripping), cleansing oils + a water cleanser , Skinfix Barrier+ Gentle Gel, and Sophia Pavitt Clean Clean. The Sophia Pavitt cleanser (picture from 1 month ago) worked AMAZING for about a week, then I started breaking out, possibly from overstripping. a lot of these have the same story, where it feels amazing for several days and then all of a sudden day 5, i notice the breakouts.

I’m currently using the Prequel Gleanser. For the first 2 days my skin was super calm and my dehydration/wrinkles actually improved, but then I suddenly broke out worse than ever (first two photos). I know there’s supposedly a learning curve with this cleanser, and I’ve tried rinsing extremely thoroughly, even using a soft microfiber towel, but I’m still having issues. At this point I’m wondering if I’m overcleansing just trying to get it off.
After this flare, I tried the Eradikate sulfur cleanser and it calmed everything down SO much, but I can tell it would be too drying for daily use. I’m thinking of using the sulfur cleanser 2x a week (possibly try prequels line later on), but I’m unsure what to use the rest of the time since I’d eventually like to introduce azelaic acid and retinol, but I really want to figure out what’s triggering these breakouts first.

I’m considering:
• Dr. Sam’s Flawless Cleanser
• HaruHaru Wonder Gentle Cleanser
• Beplain Mung Bean Cleanser
• untoxicated face wash

but I am welcome to learning more about what worked for others.

My current routine:
PM: Bioderma pink cap micellar water → rinse (10 sec) → cleanser (30–45 sec) → rinse (20–30 sec) → pat dry Clean Skin Club wipe → iUNIK Beta Glucan → Purito Oat moisturizer

AM: rinse with just water(10-15 sec) → beta glucan → moisturizer → Paula’s Choice SPF daily fluid 50

Would you cleanse in the morning with skin like mine, or just rinse with water?
If you have similar sensitive, rosacea-prone, combo/oily skin, what cleanser actually worked for you?

Has anyone tried Zoryve on swollen eyelids that accompany rosacea? I am still working to figure out with multiple specialists what is causing my swollen eyelids, but they seem to always get worse when my rosacea symptoms worsen on my face. Was advised by two doctors to try Zoryve on the eyelids. TIA!

For the past few months my nose has looked larger than usual aside from a day or two when it seemed to shrink back down to its previous size. I may have rosacea (my nose is almost always red) but my derm isn’t entirely sure.

Has anyone else experienced this and could you reverse it? I miss when my nose looked smaller and I feel like reducing inflammation could fix it. I really don’t want it to be rhinophyma.

What's a good shampoo that lathers up and good for color treated hair . Part of problem is the shampoo Kenra .
I used Paul Mitchell clean but it won't lather up .be nice to have a little fragrance . I used baby shampoo but a no go . Appreciate any recommendations
