Reddit’s top pick for Rosacea

Browse by category

Community take

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that causes facial redness, flushing and sometimes small bumps. The community commonly finds topical treatments like ivermectin, metronidazole, and azelaic acid useful for reducing redness and inflammation in rosacea. These treatments tend to be more effective for those with redness and irritation symptoms, often in combination with skincare focused on supporting the skin barrier.

What works

  • Topical ivermectin cream and metronidazole gel are frequently helpful for managing rosacea symptoms like redness and bumps.
  • Azelaic acid products are widely used and appreciated for their ability to soothe redness and improve skin texture in rosacea.
  • Supporting the skin barrier with restorative creams and balms complements medical treatments to reduce irritation and improve skin condition.

Watch out for

  • Some users report irritation or worsening redness when initially using rosacea treatments, necessitating gradual introduction.
  • Not all rosacea cases respond well to the same treatments; effectiveness varies and some may need systemic drugs like doxycycline.
