I was diagnosed with rosacea. What is it and what should I use?

Rosacea is characterized by intense and frequent flushing or blotchy redness, the appearance of “broken blood vessels” on the cheeks, chin, nose, and in most cases, acne-like pimples. In fair-skinned people, particularly of Scottish, Irish and English descent, early signs of rosacea may be the pink, flushed cheeks of youth. Eventually, rosacea progresses to a permanent redness of the mid-face, cheeks, nose and chin, along with pustules and red inflammatory acne bumps. Rosacea is often incorrectly referred to as adult acne, but it lacks the comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) of acne vulgaris.

In a clinical study on people exhibiting hypersensitive skin, including mild to moderate rosacea, our SOOTHE Regimen reduced redness by 58% and overall irritation by 78% in just five minutes with improved benefits with daily use.
