Skincare for rosacea-prone skin

For rosacea-prone skin, barrier protection is key - hydrating and anti-inflammatory ingredients help strengthen the skin, reduce sensitivity, and prevent future flare-ups. Discover expert guidance on how to care for rosacea below.

What are the best ingredients to reduce redness in skin? 

Ingredients like Silver Hydrosol and Copper Hydrosol help calm inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier. Copper is essential for all the body’s systems, especially the skin. It keeps skin toned and supports production of keratin, a key protein in skin, hair and nails. When paired with Silver Hydrosol it helps to keep skin looking radiant and youthful.

For additional support, Niacinamide helps reduce redness and improve skin resilience, while Green Tea Extract provides antioxidant protection to keep skin balanced and calm. Together, these ingredients restore harmony, leaving skin looking even and radiant.

What skincare products are best for rosacea?

Gentle, healing products are the best skincare for rosacea.

Look for skincare rich in soothing and hydrating ingredients like Aloe Vera or DNA HP, to address redness and irritation.

You should also be seeking to strengthen the skin barrier and help keep it safe from irritants. Vitamin E offers antioxidant protection to avoid irritation from environmental stressors, while nourishing, non-comedogenic oils like Argan, Kukui, and Squalane support your skin barrier.

With consistent use of protective and soothing skincare, rosacea can be minimised. 

What skincare products should be avoided when suffering from rosacea?

If you have rosacea, your skin craves balance, not battles. Avoid skincare that weakens the skin barrier, triggers irritation, or provokes a flare-up. Harsh cleansers, strong active ingredients, and aggressive treatments can leave skin more reactive, so a gentle, protective approach is always best.

Synthetic fragrance, denatured alcohol, and harsh preservatives like Methylisothiazolinone are common triggers, while foaming agents such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) can strip the skin’s natural moisture, leaving it vulnerable and exposed.

Strong exfoliating acids like Glycolic Acid or high-percentage Salicylic Acid can be too intense, while physical scrubs and cleansing brushes may cause micro-tears, increasing sensitivity. If exfoliating, opt for gentle, natural exfoliants like Fine Oat Powder or Bentonite Clay, which soothe while softly lifting away dead skin.

Try to avoid very hot or freezing cold water, or harsh skincare accessories. Lukewarm water, soft cloths, and a minimal-touch routine can help preserve balance. Try not to overwash or layer too many active ingredients - this can do more harm than good. A simple, soothing approach is the key to calm, comfortable skin.
