Rosacea

Advice for Skin with Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition of the facial skin. It usually manifests as persistent redness, frequent flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes a burning sensation, bumps, or pimples. It is not contagious and is not caused by poor hygiene.

Triggers are highly personal, but often include heat, cold, spicy foods, and, for example, alcoholic beverages. Scrubs and strong peels, fragrance, drying alcohol, menthol, peppermint and eucalyptus oils, SLS, and, for sensitive skin, high concentrations of AHA/BHA, vitamin C, or retinol can also be triggers.

Your skin can benefit from ceramides, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and squalane. Niacinamide in a mild, not-too-high concentration, panthenol, aloe vera, allantoin, and colloidal oatmeal can also help.

Use a fragrance-free, gentle cleanser and a barrier-repairing cream, along with SPF 30–50 every day; a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide is often well tolerated.

With these products, you’re in good hands: recommended by our rosacea expert Melanie Vonk.

STEP 1 CLEANSING

Cleansing the skin is the important first step in your skincare ritual. Use a fragrance-free, gentle cleanser such as the emerginC Aromatic Cream Tea Cleanser.

Prevent & correct

The D-red Daytime serum was specially developed for you. 30 soothing botanical extracts, anti-inflammatory neem oil, and probiotics calm and strengthen your skin.

exfoliate

Your skin type needs very gentle exfoliation. Don’t scrub too hard; let the Blue Poppy Enzyme Peel do its job. Apply it without massaging too much, then remove it after 3-5 minutes. It brings calm, hydration, and super-soft, soothed skin.

Nourish and Care

This skin is very happy with the Protocell cream. Anti-aging and nourishing without stimulating the skin. Highly praised by DJ Emanuelle Vos because it helps her get through the summer without flushed cheeks.

Intensive Age Fighters

For an extra boost, you can use the emerginC vitamin C eye serum. It contains just 4% gentle vitamin C as well as chamomile, making it ideal for your skin. The Swift Lift serum is also excellent as an anti-aging serum under your cream in the evening.

Protection

Always finish your daytime skincare routine with natural sun protection. All our rosacea customers rave about our SPF50. It doesn’t coat your face with chemicals or pore-clogging mineral oils, but is gentle and mild enough for daily use, without harsh ingredients. Chamomile, aloe, and buffered natural zinc oxide not only protect your skin, but even help improve it.
