Much like acne, rosacea can be triggered by multiple things including stress. This common
condition can often result in redness, flushing, pustules, dilated blood vessels and flare-ups that
can be totally unpredictable.

There may not be a cure for rosacea, but you can definitely avoid some common triggers and
keep flare-ups at bay with the right skin care routine and products. To help you tackle your
rosacea, we consulted top dermatologists for their favorite products.

Check out the best cleansers, moisturizers and masks that will help minimize redness and have
your skin feeling much more calm.

1. Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming Cleanser

"This cleanser is very gentle on reactive or sensitive skin, which most patients with rosacea have.

Dr. Noelani González, director of cosmetic dermatolo y at Mount Sinai West in New York City.

2. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer

"This ultra-gentle moisturizer is made with a soothing blend of hydrating, anti-redness

ingredients. It's infused with ceramides, niacinamide, calming glycerin and prebiotics that work
to restore the skin barrier. It’s a great, safe option for those with rosacea," said Dr. Howard Sobel,
New York-based dermatologist and founder of Sobel Skin.

3. Bioderma Sensibio AR Cream

"The allantoin in this product helps lead to a cooling sensation which will decrease that flushed
feeling patients often get from rosacea. It also contains natural oils which can be soothing and
trap in moisture," said Dr. Angela J. Lamb, a dermatologist and associate professor at the Icahn
School of Medicine at Mount Sinai's Department of Dermatolo y.

4. Avene Antirougeurs Day Soothing Cream

"This cream treats and soothes rosacea while providing nice coverage thanks to its light green
neutralizer," said Boston-based dermatologist Dr. Ranella Hirsch.

5. EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46

"Rosacea-prone skin can be sensitive, so sunscreen and gentle products are a must. This SPF is
formulated with zinc oxide, goes on clear and doesn’t aggravate rosacea," said Dr. Azeen
Sadeghian, a dermatologist advisor for Aysa, an AI-powered skin symptom checker app.

6. Differin Restorative Night Moisturizer

"It's important to replenish moisture prior to bedtime and this moisturizer is a great choice
because it contains hyaluronic acid, ceramides and allantoin to visibly improve the texture of
your skin and hydrate it while you sleep. It also won’t irritate your skin because it’s fragrance-
free and non-comedogenic," said dermatologist Dr. David E. Bank.

7. Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Facial Cleanser

"This rich, creamy formula is packed with a mix of hydrating ingredients such as soybean oil and
chamomile flower extract, which help to moisturize and soothe skin without clogging pores or
causing breakouts. It rinses off easily and visibly improves skin’s suppleness," Sobel said.

8. Vanicream Free and Clear Liquid Cleanser

"There's treating rosacea and then there is making sure you don’t do anything to make it worse.
The latter is harder and more important than many realize. Towards that end, I'm a big fan of
this cleanser with minimum additives to avoid flaring rosacea," Hirsch said.

9. La Roche-Posay Rosaliac AR Intense Visible Redness Reducing Serum

"One of the largest factors in rosacea is sensitive skin. Patients complain that their skin feels tight
or easily irritated. What I love about this serum is that it has few ingredients and it has a
yellow/green tint that can actually reflect light to make the rosacea appear less red," Lamb said.

10. Avene Antirougeurs Calm Redness-Relief Soothing Mask

"This fast-acting, nourishing mask neutralizes redness while strengthening the skin’s protective
barrier. It immediately helps combat rosacea-prone skin and helps protect the skin from future
flare-ups. It’s a great quick fix, plus the hypoallergenic, fragrance and oil-free formula won’t
irritate sensitive skin or cause stubborn breakouts," Sobel said.

11. Cetaphil Skin Cleanser

"People with rosacea tend to have more sensitive skin, so it's important to choose the right facial
products. This gentle cleanser is a good choice because it does not contain soaps or fragrances
and it actually can condition the skin as it cleanses," Bank said.

12. Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream

"This light facial cream is perfect for those with rosacea who are seeking a product a bit richer
than a serum but still want to combat redness," Hirsch said.

13. CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser

"No other cleanser has ever fully replaced my love for this product. It prevents over-stripping of
the skin barrier and is very gentle and mild," Sadeghian said.

14. Cetaphil Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisturizer

"This moisturizer is gentle enough for those with sensitive skin and contains a mineral
sunscreen. It helps prevent any flare-ups from UV light and contains caffeine and allantoinPrivacy
