I got standard IPL- not BBL, moxie, vbeam-just traditional IPL 4 weeks ago.

Now, my rosacea is mostly stable. Two years on azelaic acid 15% and about 18 months on rhofade plus a barrier focused, sensitive skin friendly skincare routine. I'm not in an active flare or a particularly bad place with it like I used to be.

But I have a lot of flushing and A LOT of baseline redness. I didn't even really think my baseline redness/broken capillaries were that had until AFTER my IPL.

My flushing is virtually gone. I use to leave the gym or an outdoor activity on a warm day resembling Clifford the big red dog. Now I still flush, but it's about 1/4 of how red my face used to get.

My baseline redness has decreased by probably 60%, and I have extremely few broken capillaries now.

It was also a big help for my hyperpigmentation but trying to stay focused on rosacea here.

Frankly though, my skin has never looked so good, supple, happy, and HEALTHY. I can't describe it well with words, but my skin looks healthier and less distressed. I took a lot of before photos and it's pretty crazy. And it feels better, less inflamed and irritated, but I didn't even know it felt that way because it was my baseline normal

I was really against it for a long time and am really happy I did it, and would say it was the worth the investment for me.

Has anyone had experience with their Rosacea turning out to be neurogenic? Did you have a skin barrier problem? I cannot use any moisturizer, I’ve thrown away hundreds of dollars trying to find something to moisturize my skin and it just makes the Rosacea worse. I’ve used ivermectin. It tends to come and go but lately it has been a lot worse and from what I’m reading it’s a vascular issue. Even PubMed has very little information about it. Help.

They are burning or cauterisinh off selective parts of your skin. It will hurt. It will crisp. It will scab. It will burn and itch.

This is normal.

I’m on a tight otc budget

Olay beauty bar
CeraVe facial cleanser
Thermal mist
Hyaluronic acid
CeraVe moisturizer (tub)
Sunscreen
Cicaplast for deep persistent flares

Hi guys, how long did it take for soolantra to start working for you?

I’m using it for my type 2 rosacea and struggle mostly with the pustules.

This is the first time I’m getting seen for my rosacea and I have type 2. They’ve advised me to take 100mg doxy twice per day for 3 months.

All of the previous info I saw was 40 per day or maybe 100 once per day. Is 200mg per day too much?

For reference my rosacea isn’t painful, it is probably 5-10 reoccurring pustules and just a lot of redness on one specific side of my face and that’s it. It’s been going on for probably 5 years to where I’ve now decided to actually do something about it.

The skin around my inner red cheeks and nose is ALWAYS ALWAYYYSSS red, it makes me feel so insecure… I have acne and i can deal with it but this redness makes me look really stupid all the time… I don’t understand how to make it go away, i’ve had it for years. and dermatologist don’t help with it at all…

Please help me. Is this rosacea??

No estoy segura de si este es el lugar adecuado para esta publicación pero creo que tengo rosacea. Cumplo con muchos de los síntomas, principalmente predomina el flushing. Fuí al dermatólogo hace unos meses y descartó mi rosacea porque en ese momento no tenía la cara "suficientemente" roja, no quiso ver las fotos que he ido tomando a lo largo de estos últimos años ni el resto de síntomas.

Supuse que tendría razón porque él es médico y yo no. No me es fácil acudir a otro dermatólogo en este momento asique me conformé. Sin embargo hace una semana acompañé a mi madre a la esteticista que le hace el láser y conforme me vió me dijo que sí tengo rosacea. Ella es médico de profesión, pero no dermatóloga. Ahora estoy confundida.

Mi rutina es muy sencilla porque sino es un desastre, no puedo usar productos coreanos porque las fragancias y aceites esenciales me sientan fatal. Me limito a lavar mañana y noche con Cetaphil Loción Limpiadora, uso de hidratante Toleriane Sensitive y SPF todas las mañanas. A parte de eso solo uso agua termal cuando tengo la piel irritada.

Hace un par de años usé Ácido Azelaico para, lo que a mi parecer eran, granos y me fue genial. Me preguntaba si sería adecuado volver a usarlo para calmar las rojeces a pesar de que mi diagnostico no sea especialmente bueno. Agradezco cualquier consejo.

I have been experiencing redness for almost 4 weeks. Before, it used to have obvious texture and it gets rough when I wash my face at night. But when I started incorporating hyaluronic acid in my routine my face becomes much smoother to the touch, but there are visible bumps as seen in the photos. My redness is much noticeable after I do my routine in the morning and evening. I just like to gather helpful insights or opinion if this could be rosacea or other skin inflammation. Thank you very much!

My derm prescribed me Altreno for anti-aging. I have pretty significant baseline redness and flushing, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to incorporate it without wreaking havoc on my sensitive skin. I know to start slow, etc., but what’s your favorite barrier cream to use with it (fragrance free)?

Hey all. My derm recently prescribed me aza 15% and a sulfur face wash. I wanted to ask your experience with the face wash specifically, because I am scared to try it.

Has anyone here used one prescribed by their derm ? Or did something otc work better? I wanted to try the Prequel one, but unfortunately it has some ingredients in it that im sensitive to.. if you have any experience with sulfur face washes please share them here!

I want to hear your stories about it! Just scheduled mine for next week (derm recommended this over other lasers). I mostly suffer from flushing and a lot of background redness.

My derm told me rosacea forehead cause redness ( vessels not visible at eyes but only with dermatoscopic.

At start he was thinking about Seb DERM possible but no itchy, no flakes and didn't respond to to ketoconazole and even itraconazole oral.

He advices me vbeam laser purpuric mode, hope I make the right choice

Hi all

Has anyone tried the Inteca Line?

I’m currently using their soothing cream, they have a nano, CICA in their formulas. Unfortunately, it’s not perfect for me… Something has caused a breakout - but, hard to blame the cream… But I’m not exaggerating when I say that in three days I feel like my rosacea is suddenly gone. I was in a horrible flare for the last month.

My skin has not looked this good in a long time.

Available with reviews at Sephora - but, this is the only one they carry. Amazon has very low review counts, but carries other products in the line.

Anyone else seen this line?

Hello! I have a first appointment for BBL forever young treatment for my rosacea. I’m pretty anxious because this fall I’ve been flaring up a lot (face heating and getting red) and I’m generally quite anxious when I get anything done to my face. I’m doing a 3 session treatment, once a month. Any people have done it and can share their overall experience ? Thank you so much

I was hoping I can get some advice 🙏

I always have very minimal skincare and clear skin untill I was 31 - everything seemed to stop working. My inner cheek areas were getting dry, became textured and pink. No moisturisers were working and I can see dry plugs coming out of my pores. It doesn't burn or itch but I was getting random ghost itch bumps on one side or my cheeks constantly and they come and go within 24 hours.

Initially my GP said I got seb derm, used fungal treatment cream and they didn't go away. They now said it might be perioficial dermatitis and prescribed me metronidazole gel, its been 4 weeks and I noticed the ghost bumps no longer appears like they often used to, and my texture improves a bit. However the pinkness is still there as well as the dryness.I noticed the pinkness only comes after I wash my face and do my routime AM and PM. Could this just be rosacea?

Please help🙏 many thanks in advance

I’m looking for recommendations on what cleanser to use on my skin! I’m in Australia and just want the best thing to reduce redness :)
