Gently creamy balm cleanses makeup and SPF but may trigger rosacea flares.

What the community says

This balm cleanser melts away makeup and SPF, liked as a PM first cleanse choice. People with rosacea and sensitive skin report flare-ups, especially if the barrier is compromised. It's not as effective as cleansing oils for some users.

I have been using the Farmacy green clean (unscented) and was told a balm is bad for rosacea?

Cautionary

I learned my cleanser might be what’s triggering my rosacea as I can’t get these stubborn red flares to go down on my cheeks/lower face.

Cautionary

I looked up the ingredients in your Farmacy Green Clean unscented cleanser and can see a number of ingredients that could be triggering your skin.

Cautionary

cleanser (Farmacy Green Clean gentle creamy cleanser)

Mentioned

Oh I have a sample of the farmacy cream cleanser sitting in my drawer, maybe I’ll have to give that a try.

For the next 3 weeks I’m going back to the basics: cleanser (Farmacy Green Clean gentle creamy cleanser)
