When shopping for skincare products on the market, those with rosacea often have to be mindful about what they are putting on their skin. As someone who has rosacea, I am always looking for hero products that not only calm my redness and irritation, but also offer other powerhouse ingredients for overall skin health.

According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes redness and rashes, and often appears on the nose, cheeks and sometimes the eyes. “While anyone can develop rosacea, it commonly occurs in individuals between 30–50 years old. Although it may be more likely to develop in those with fair skin, it can also occur in those with darker skin types,” says Dr. Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD.

Even though doctors believe that genetics and certain environmental factors could play a role in rosacea, scientists are still researching the exact causes of this skin condition. "There are several causes of rosacea. Eating spicy foods, either cold or hot weather and red wine/alcohol can all cause rosacea flares," says Dr. Shari Sperling, DO. Although there is no cure for rosacea, there are ways to manage and reduce flare-ups with soothing skincare ingredients, topical and oral prescriptions, light therapies, laser treatments and avoiding rosacea triggers.

When it comes to finding a skincare routine that works best for you, it's ideal to select products that are soothing and nonaggressive. “I recommend using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer with hyaluronic acid serum (ideally one with vitamin B3, sunscreen) and potentially a topical prescription,” says Dr. Kenneth Mark, Cosmetic Dermatology Expert. He also adds that you should avoid acne products, retinoids and overly exfoliating cleansers such as those with salicylic acid.

It's always recommended that you see a doctor before treating any skin conditions on your own, but if you are experiencing redness or flushing of the skin, here are the best rosacea skincare products — ranging from toners to serums, that have been recommended by dermatologists and our skin experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute —that can help.
