I particularly hate how people LOVE to point out that I'm red, like okay I know, my face turns red all the time, just what do you want me to say?! Normalize Rosacea!
I can't tell you how many people have yelled "oh my god you're so sunburnt!" and I reply thanks that's just my rosacea. Why do people feel the need to point out these things?! Use this rule of thumb: "Don’t comment on someone’s appearance unless they can fix that thing in 5 seconds or less"
Bare minerals Bisque concealer!!! Life Saver!!😇
@@src3360 does it really cover redness?
@@free23456 yes. Its a powder, easy to use, doesn't rub off easily. Im a guy and use it daily. It looks like my skin not makeup
I get it on QVC. I use the original one
Omg. ME TOO. I'm like damn, mind yo bidness. 😒 I never knew that people can be so obnoxious.
Rosacea was the first sign that I had gastrointestinal issues but I did not know it at the time. I found this out when I had my gallbladder removed earlier this year. "Research shows people with rosacea have a higher prevalence of upper gastrointestinal, or GI, disorders, including esophagitis, GERD, SIBO, IBS, Crohn disease, Barrett esophagus, gastritis, nondiabetic gastroparesis, and diverticulitis." Want to share this info. as the dermatologist office NEVER mentioned a link to gastrointestinal issues.
How do you know what’s wrong with your gut health? Where should I start? I deal with severe facial flushing and I’m guessing it’s linked to my gut health but idk what to do about it :/
@@madilrasmussen333 Unfortunately, we have to do a LOT of research on our own. RUclips has many videos about rosacea and the link to gut health. Find Dr. Eric Berg' DCs YT channel, then search within his videos "rosacea". Watch and read everything you can find on CAUSES of rosacea, not just treating it. It sucks that we have to be our own advocate.
For real?? My sis had rosacea super bad & also had to get her galbladder removed (+ liver cerrosis)
I got rosacea after I had a tooth pulled and an implant put in. I might be allergic to the metal in it.
I had a consultation with à naturopath and wow. I saw result.. go girls, à still use products for my skin but alimentation help à lot!!!
Try no add sugars( no Juice, no 7up, no dessert, no chocolat) no products with milk ad look your skin 2 weeks laters!!! The Last things that i didnt try is cut gluten!! But à lot of People of community of naturo said that help too! Who gonna try?
"The stuff of nightmares" says the woman who has quite literally the MOST PERFECT SKIN I have ever seen in my life!
Exactly 😊
really.!! She is STUNNING
She has worked hard to get her skin that way.... she is inspiring!
You look perfect without makeup! You really don’t need it!👌
She wears some just not around the eyes and that's a very rude thing to say
@@emilieraptor9373it’s not rude
@ayshe3766 i agree, she's so beautiful. I wish my skin looked that good without makeup on 😭
@@emilieraptor9373 it’s not rude to say someone looks perfect naturally 😂
Please talk about procedures to fix broken capillaries on the face
Yes same!
IPL treatment usually works
Would love an in-office treatment run through! ❤
Can you also talk about efficient anti aging skincare/ treatments for people with rosacea, please? Thank you for the video, very helpful
This! Because we’re not allowed to touch the stuff that addresses lines and melasma etc 😢 I find getting IPL has taken years of damage off my face though so maybe that’s where to keep investing?
Yes second this!! Very interested
Exactly!
Been dealing with rosacea for two years now and started seeing improvements when I simplified my skincare and started seeing a dermatologist regularly. I was prescribed Azelaic acid at 15% twice a day and metronidazole cream twice a day and within 6 months my postules and most of my redness started to finally go away. After a full year I stopped having postules flairing up and had minimized my redness and irritation, as I learned that I had dietary triggers such as capsicum that caused many of my flair ups. I also avoid skincare products with propolis and fermented products and oddly enough a lot of centella products irritate my rosacea. I have combo skin so my rosacea are alongside my cheek areas only. I’ve been using tretinoin for wrinkle preventative care but I only apply on forehead and smile lines and T zone area while also avoiding my cheeks area and I will apply metronidazole on my cheeks area instead when I notice redness or irritation. Ingredients that have helped include glycerin, ceramides, matcha, green tea, and niacinimide. It’s definitely a journey but I promise if you’re suffering from rosacea and you improve your diet, stress management, understand your skins emotions like Dr Idriss explains and see a good dermatologist you’ll get it under control too ❤
How did your skin react to tretinoin?
Thank you so much for your comment…I’ve recently included Centeal and it’s breaking me out 😮🤦🏼♀️ also I use fermented products and this helped me to rethink about my routine ❤
Thank you for this video. I'm commenting with some of my triggers to potentially help anyone else with rosacea that finds this video in the future, because often the triggers are not obvious and differentiate from person to person.
-Using a heavier moisturizer or using too many layers of skincare and sometimes "slugging"
- Using too much niacinamide (niacinamide is already in pretty much every skincare product nowadays, so it is very easy to overdo it)
-Chocolate T^T
-Energy drinks
-Any kind of chemical exfoliant (aha, bha, pha) no matter how "gentle"
-Seasons changing
-Any skincare with peppermint in the ingredients. ( Also, I'm also trying to figure out if burning peppermint essential oils might cause a flare up.)
-Working out or doing physical activities
- Using a gua sha might also cause redness for the rest of the day (not 100% sure on that one yet)
Some things that I find help
- Ingredients such as aloe, licorice root, green tea, centella, and using a tiny bit of rose hip seed oil
- A cooling face ice pack ( but be careful because this might do the opposite in some people ((also never use ice directly on the skin)) -Using a cold can of soda or water from the fridge and rolling it along the face.
- Tumeric sheet masks
- Hydrating
- Everything she said in this video
This video was very helpful and everyone's comments were very helpful too! I am still trying to figure out all of my triggers, and I hope that this helps. ^•^
Ohk but why ingredients like centella, green tea, licorice, aloe and rosehip 😭 thanks for sharing thou !
Acids really help me, like the stronger the better. My fave is sensitive to everything else from fragrance to oats but after a peel my face stops hurting for a day or two.
why is everything off limits 💀
We also need to think about the poisoned food, air, water and the clothes we wear
YES, more about in-office treatments, please 💜💜💜 I would be so interested in what lasers you recommend for treating rosacea - IPL, BBL or something else? How many treatments are recommended? What's the upkeep? Also, maybe you can talk a bit about rosacea and at home devices like LED masks etc. THANK YOU so much for making these fantastic videos 🙌🏻
There’s vbeam, too! I would love to know a full analysis of each. Like best bang for your buck depending on your type of rosacea.
she already has an LED video
I was diagnosed with rosacea 2021 and changed my doctor recently as no progress was made (but thousands of euros were spend). I feel so helpless, i am 35 and never experienced even "okay" skin. I react to a lot of different (healthy) foods, such as nightshades, especially tomatoes, gluten, dairy and changed my diet to a point where its not fun to eat anymore. I am now taking isotretinoin. My new doctor had good experiences with it. Hoping for the best.
I’m sure you’ve looked into histamine intolerance but if you haven’t, it may help. I started using histamine blockers and special probiotics last week and it’s made a world of difference. Like you, I’ve had to cut out nightshades, avocados, kefir/yogurt, tinned fish, leftovers, chocolate, plus so much more. Unknowingly, I’ve had rosacea all my life, types 1-4. The last few years, it’s like chemical burns all over my face and neck. Changed my diet, tried different supplements and topicals but nothing really helped. I’ve started the Seeking Health brand (not sure if it’s available in Europe) and it’s been a big change. Use four different supplements and my skin and body have began to calm down, as well as joint inflammation.
Thanks for sharing your journey 🙌🏼 the same here. Once I started to avoid all the high histamine foods (see Low Histamine Diet Guidelines by BioCeuticals available online), my skin improves. Also, taking skin probiotics daily help 🙏🏼
@@beapq1154 what are skin probiotics? How are they different from regular probiotics?
@@bonnie_nelms my current brand is Inner Health (Skin Shield 26 Billion Live Probiotics). All info available on its website. Taking one daily and reduce histamine food have made a BIG difference in my rosacea. Besides, a simple and gentle skin routine (organic Aloe Vera face wash, Peptides serum,Hyaluronic Acid and Cucumber gel for daytime, Mesoprotech 50+ sunscreen). Hope it helps ⭐️
I hope rosacea would stop being described and diagnosed as a Northern European skin disorder. It took years to get mine diagnosed because of my tan olive skin tone. I also wish insurance companies would cover treatments because mine denies coverage due to this being a "cosmetic" prescription.
Claims - products that specifically say they help rosacea. I’ve been told that products that are “cooling” or targeted to redness are oftentimes not good for rosacea. So I’ve been using Biologique Recherche products for rosacea and they have completely changed my skin. Before that, everything upset my rosacea. I’ve also been told rosacea is an indicator of inflammation somewhere else in the body so finding the source is the best way to help control it. Treating the skin condition is just part of it.
Yay I look forward to these uploads every weekend!
You are glowing in this video!
Thank you for including over the counter and prescription information here! In office options as a progression would be very helpful!
I believe I have the 1st type of roceaca you mentioned. When I take a shower and do my skin care I'm flared up red and HEAT the heat makes me so red!
Yes please take us into the office to talk about treatments! Love these videos.
Yes please! More info is always welcome! Thanks for this information 😊
You still look really pretty and natural ❤ thank you for all your amazing tips!!! 🥰
Retinoids have helped my rosacea so much. You just have to start very slowly and use the right retinoids. I use granactive retinoids, retinALs, and adapalene. My rosacea skin loves them. But I also need to use products with centella, ceramides, licorice, and azelaic acid.
Thank you so much for making these great videos! You have helped me even out my skin tone, reduce my acene, and reduce redness through your educational videos. Through healthy skincare, you've given me my confidence back! Thank you!
I would love to see more about in office treatments! I’m a pharmacist and I know how much marketing plays into claims on products like cold medicines so I always go by active ingredients when I’m buying my skincare
I am 62 and just started with rosesca last year 😮 Thank you for giving affordable solutions 🌟
Thank you. I’m 60 years and I just got diagnosed with rosacea. It started last summer, but I remember my Mother telling me that I’m “allergic to the sun and heat.”
So, here I am now, living in Texas, lol. Your videos are always so helpful.
Texas, Arizona and Nevada would be miserable to live in with an inflammatory skin disease, I know! Arizona gets to 120F in summer and VERY dry!
@@Jasmine215100
I think I’m still kind of in denial about it.
I’m going to check out a neck fan, but the reviews I’ve read have said they’re great - except they’re also loud.
You look pretty Dr. Shereene! Blessed Saturday ❤
K I don’t know know if I am just red or have rosacea but I look for calming, soothing, redness relief, and fragrance free products like you said. There are also certain ingredients I look for like centella, oats, ceramides, arnica, etc.
Aveeno’s Oat Cleanser is good. Clinique’s redness relief moisturizer is good. I recommend Purito’s sunscreens because if you’re REALLY sensitive like me it’s a great formula. There’s 2 of them right now.
I just got my hands on the new Purito sunscreen and excited to try after two years of using the Isntree SPF and Biossance mineral sunscreen. Glad to read good reviews from others
@@annalouiseplease I wanna try the new one!
@@mignonalverson2475 def try it out! Excited to use it this summer and hopefully it won’t be irritating as I also have sensitive skin
@@annalouiseplease I’m using the original Purito sunscreen right now and out of all of them I’ve tried it’s the most gentle. ❤️
I would love to see in office treatments as well! I look for “redness relief,” “calming,” and “redness correcting” claims. Thanks so much for this info. I just ordered the Green Machine & Hero sunscreen. Already love the Cicapair!
I’m always looking for creamy, hydrating products. I want something that feels like it’s nourishing my dry/rosacea skin. Thanks for the breakdown & recs!
Rosacea lady here! Your videos have taught me MUCH about what to look for in skincare products; reading the inci list is more helpful than the marketing claims. I look for azelaic acid or potassium azeloyl diglycinate; niacinamide, ceramides, non comedogenic emollients. Thank you for your content. My skin has never looked better. Sunscreen of course! Beauty of Joseon is my pick
Beta glucan, centella & Azelaic Acid has helped a lot. Daily sunscreen is a must!! Still saving up for laser treatment. Many blessings! 💖💖💖
Cutting off sugar and wheat really helps me with this.
Thank you
And dairy
You look flawless btw, your videos are so well thought out too
Dr. Idriss, your skin always looks beautiful! Thank you for teaching and sharing so much great information about skincare. I have been using Major Fade Active Serum and Major Fade Active Seal Moisturizer for about 2 weeks now and see amazing results. I will absolutely try your recommended products to reduce the redness associated with my rosacea.
Azelaic Acid has become a holy grail ingredient for me!!! I really love the Naturium Azelaic Acid 10% emulsion and the Peach Slices Azelaic Acid. Both are fantastic and I have never experienced pilling with either product. I use it in both AM and PM routines.
Yes for a rosacea in office procedure video!
Yes please to office treatments. I was recently diagnosed with Rosacea...and I have the broken capillaries to deal with.
Thank you so much for making these videos. In Canada it is so hard to get in with a dermatologist to help with rosacea treatment. As Iong as I can remember, I have always suffered with rosacea on different levels and so I’ve always been mindful of my skin care. That said, I’ve always had to do my own research and never been able to have a certified dermatologist confirm if I’m on the right track or if I’m wasting my money on certain products or ingredients. It’s all be trial and error So I’m so happy to come across your videos with all this useful information. Thank you so much. ❤️
Thanks for the vid!! I just got my Depuffer and I’ve been using it for about a week! I’m super pale and prone to redness around my nose and cheeks and I’m already seeing improvements. I’m also pretty sensitive (easily irritated, especially around my mouth and eyes) and this does not bother my skin. I avoid around my mouth still just to be safe 😊😊
had to pause the video to write this. babes deal with your face!? Girl when you made your makeup comment I thought you were wearing a full face, you're so beautiful inside and out- I love your videos!! :3
Hypoallergenic is one that helps with me. The Avene tolerance line has been a life saver! Most products even those for sensitive skin irritate me and cause flare ups
Which product to start with
Suffering from rosacea since 10 years, I really undertand that the skin barrier has to be restored first. Than we can help with serums to control redness. For me fragrance doesn’t matter. Green color is a plus but not mandatory. I already have ivermectin so I will add azalaic acid to get a winning combo. Cannot wait to see in-office treatments!
I'd love to hear about office procedures for rosacea!
As a type 1, I have reduced the severity by addressing systemic inflammation and now, sorting out my microbiome. But in matters of skincare, I look for fragrance free, anti-inflammatory ingredients and anything with green tea. I also just started using Derma E Pure Biome Balancing Cream and Cleanser and it seems to be calming down the redness. The cream contains ingredients such as, Aloe, Glycerin, Centella Asiatica, Cucumber, Panthenol and more.
Yes please, I would love to know about in office treatments for rosacea.
Just what I needed! Finally got diagnosed last week after years of random urgent care visits for allergic reactions. Happy Saturday!
Same here, my sensitive and peri-menopausal skin has been even more sensitized for the past couple of weeks and I've had major flare-ups on my face (lovely !). And yes, I'm also a pale Celt, so the rash on my face looks truly delightful! I had to cut out all products except the trusty La Roche Posay Cicaplast - truly a magical product! Seems to be the only one that soothes and calms the inflammation down. Along with Aveeno Calm & Restore Oat cleanser & toner - thank you Dr Idriss for introducing me to that fantastic range (and so affordable). Retinol would probably burn my face off right now!! 🤣🔥🤣
Happy Saturday to you too! Love the weekends!
I don't look at claims for a long time now. I learned what ingredients are good for which skin condition, so i just look at ingredients. Centella for the win when it comes to redness. The Skin 1004 sunscreen is the best, whereas the overhyped beauty of joseon one makes me lobster red. Also thanks for bringing the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast balm to my attemtion, it is the single best product for my rosacea and my skin just drinks it in so fast, I'm so amazed by it.
I'm looking forward to your vid about the red eyes, coz I have it and the only eyedrop that seems to help is actually a french one named Cationorm. It's an emulsion, it has glicerin in it, I don't really know how it works, but it doesn't sting like other eyedrops.
I’m super pale with the first type of rosacea that you talked about (emotions show instantly, bright red when I exercise, etc). My skin is fairly reactive to many ingredients, so I look for very basic formulas that are soothing/calming with maybe one active ingredient. The Aveeno Calm and Restore serum and moisturizer are my buddies, along with sunscreen and a very low percentage retinol. Less is more for my skin, but the one thing that has made the biggest difference is sunscreen! Wish I’d had a good sunscreen as a teen 😅 it would have helped so much! Now I’m 36 and passing my skintellectualism on to my children 😊
Which one??? The sunscreen?
May I ask what retinol you use? Do you know if we can use tretinoin?
@@m4yUm3 so far yes just the sunscreen, my oldest is 13 so they don’t need anything more at the moment (no acne yet lol).
@@ca6248 I have no idea about tretinoin, but the retinol that I use is just the L’Oreal Revitalift Night Serum with Pure Retinol. I started using it once a week, and slowly added it into my routine to every other night. I’m no expert, just a lady with a face 😅
You’re lucky. Most sunscreens irritate my rosacea.
Naturium also has a 10 percent azelaic acid in serum form which I have found is best for layering with other products and which never pills. Plus, at $20, it's cheaper than Paula's Choice. And I've heard the Peach Slices brand has a good azelaic acid product, but I've not tried that yet.
I have been using the 10% Azelaic Acid gel/serum from Peach Slices for several weeks and like it better than any Azelaic acid prep I have tried. It doesn't pill and spreads like a dream. I had previously tried preparations from The Ordinary (pills very badly!), Costa Baha, FaceTheory, and Naturium.
I rosacea journey started when I was 25, and I'm 46 now. I'm happy to see more education about it these days because when I was first dx the dr explained nothing and just wrote a script for metro cream (which didn't help). Today I am much for informed about my skincare. I look for products that claim to be calming, soothing, and for the most part fragrance free. I tend to have a flare up at least 1x when the weather changes to colder winter temps. I usually use Soolantra when it flares and it seems to work. I also have been using prescription Adapalene for several years with no problems. I would like to move up to Tretinoin but haven't yet. Would love to see more on in office treatments!
Im 24, but it’s very similar with me also I only get rosacea flare ups when the weather changes to colder temps. I want to know should I only change my skincare routine during that time of the year as the rest of the year Im very comfortable using aha’s and retinols in my routine.
Just what I needed!! Thank you.
You are still so beautiful even after LASIK and without makeup!
Thank you for the hacks! I was bullied at school because my cheeks are always red and everyone thought I wore a makeup. Now I'm an adult and people think I'm sick because my cheeks are flushed. Went to a dermatologist and she said I defintely got rosachea. The Cicapair green tint really helps.
I am just now realizing that I may have rosacea. Going to switch directions on my skincare and hold off on the adapalene. Thank you Dr. Idriss!!
You focus one to match skin-love to knowledge♥️
Can you make a video talking about your Lasik eye procedure? I know it's not skin related but I've been curious about the process. Thanks!
Genuinely interested about treatment for rosacea
I look for products that are fragrance-free, alcohol-free and essential oil-free. Also i go for products that contain niacinamide and centella asiatica. You look amazing!! Thank you for making another video for rosacea, you have helped me a lot to pick better products more suitable for my skin type.
Thank you! This was very helpful! Have rosacea treated successfully with ivermectin, and had wondered about the intersection with retinol. Fascinated by your products, and appreciate your mention of them. Finally - enthusiastic YES to in-office methods for treating this condition!
Hi, how did you use Ivermectin to cure your rosecea?
Hey, thank you Doc for such valuable information, please talk about treatments as well. Would love to know about them.
I'd love to learn about in-office treatments for rosacea!
YES to in-office treatments!!! I’m at the point where I feel like I do a lot but need some professional help
You look very natural and I don’t see any redness!! Great video! Would love to see/watch sunscreens for rosacea, you mentioned physical are better.
I'm so excited. Ordered your major fade FULL SET today! Hoping it will help with my Type I rosacea and my blotchy skin FTR I look for products that say 'calming' or 'soothing' or 'reduces redness' I also use mostly fragrance-free skincare (La Mer is an exception but their stuff isn't overly scented for me). I've never used retinols of any kind as I've been afraid of them. I do use bakuchiol.
Dr Jart's products (tiger grass color correcting cream) gave me a really bad reaction so I won't go near their products again.
Oh yes, a video about in-office treatments would be very useful, thanks! One note about that Paula's Choice product--it does have 2% salicylic acid, which is a great ingredient but may be drying/irritating if your face is already dry and irritated. I also keep the Ordinary one on hand and use that if my face is in a bad mood.
It's a good call out, but just FYI the salicylic acid is only 0.5% in that product.
For me 😢 yeeey 😊 I found you recently and I’m so grateful 🙏 you are the best 😘😘😘thank you so much you are the best!
Yes!!! Thank you for this! If the wind even blows the wrong way, my face is turning red. 😭😭
Yes please provide info on in office treatments 😊
Your skin looks amazing 👏👏👏👏
Thank you, Dr. Shereene Idriss, for sharing these amazing hacks for instantly reducing redness and rosacea! I've been using DermalMD Rosacea Serum and it's been incredibly effective in reducing inflammation on my skin. It's great to see a dermatologist like you recommend a product specifically formulated for rosacea, and I appreciate the additional tips for reducing redness. Thank you again for the helpful video!
Yess! I don’t know if you have already made a video from the clinic about treatments but I’m definitely interested! Rosacea is such an annoying skin condition to have. Hyaluronic acid is the worst for my skin although it’s supposed to be suitable for sensitive skin. Can’t do acids. Retinol works if I sandwich it. I love fragrances as well but they don’t work for my skin at all either. I’ve been on antibiotics but it didn’t work that well. Before that I had a prescription azelaic acid crème but it didn’t really do the trick either but there was never any talk about combining the two. I’ll talk to my doctor about that.
I'm almost 40 and I've had rosacea for about 10 years now. I usually look for products labeled as "calming and soothing". I've been using Physiogel A.I. Cream as my moisturizer and it's helped my skin (eczema and rosacea prone) a lot. My rosacea is now mostly limited to a cute flushing, instead of an emoji with bright red cheeks. Also, my doctor asked me to get a bowl and put some cold milk and pat it onto my face for when I have flare ups that are just so uncomfortable (hot, burning and itching sensations). This milk trick has helped tremendously in terms of easing the discomfort. But I also go in for laser treatments once in a while when I am having a hard time controlling a flare up.
What laser do you get and the results don’t last?
I look for products with no fragrance, alcohol, few ingredients but high quality actives like niacimides, B12, azalealic acid, and soothing hydration like Aloe Vera, oat, squalane, chamomile, antioxidants like green tea. I prefer physical sunscreen with zinc. For a cleanser it has to be gentle and simple - I don’t think you need a lot of active ingredients in a cleanser - less is more. I almost exclusively use an Australian brand called Synergie Skin. It’s expensive but my skin barrier has improved so much and the founder understands Rosacea well.
I’ve always flushed when I was younger, but now I’m in my 40s I have seen broken capillaries and some tiny pimples in my areas of rosacea. I have had a few laser sessions and they were amazing at removing the broken capillaries. Initially they also helped a little with the redness, but less so with subsequent treatments. I had never heard that not using retinol was a good idea (I’ll be removing that from my routine for a while). Azelaic acid gives me very obvious improvements and if I forget for a few days it’s very very noticeable. I have to be so careful and consistent with everything, and even then it’s still always something that’s there.
I’m 25 and never had skin issues until last year I started getting some redness under my nose and my mouth. My derm said I was showing signs of mild rosacea 🙏🏻 I’ve been using an over the counter azelaic acid and sulfur and it’s been a godsend! But I definitely get perioral dermatitis and rosacea around those areas! Thank goodness for videos like this and for YOU and the education you bring!!! Makes me feel empowered ❤
I got perioral dermatitis from topical prescription meds from my derm but never diagnozed as rocasea and never thought I had rocasea until I start using azelaic acid and my pink face just suddenly calms down 😭❤️ so glad of these derms online that educate us
hi i had ezcema around eye skin area where it was puffed up bright red and as that settled it was very dry itchy flakey and then after a week of eumovate ointment the doctor prescribed it settled down and wasn't itchy anymore and skin was smooth but there was a slight shade of redness, like a discolouration look that i can't seem to get to fade. i was hearing a cream with vitamin k would work as it's said it can fade bruises or reduce appearance of scars apparently but wether it's safe enough for around the the eye area. see other places on the body healed up and went back to normal skin colour ok but it left me with a graining leathery look where the ezcema patches were but the eye skin area redness seems to be hard to fade for me.
You look lovely in a natural state 😊
Wow you skin is amazing! And yes in office treatments would be great to know!
Great information . You have beautiful skin & I wish I looked that good without eye make up
I started getting signs of rosacea at the age of 15, getting that swollen redness and white pustules that wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. When I went to the derm I was told it was rosacea immediately before they checked my age and backtracked because "it can't be that because you're too young to have rosacea". Got prescribed a cortison that only made everything worse, so I went back to multiple different derms and doctors but without any results. Was given the diagnosis when I turned 21, because my dad got his diagnosis then and I could march into the office and essentially demand to be given my own.
Was at first prescribed azelaic acid, but it burnt my skin (I have very sensitive skin on top of the rosacea, and sebbhoreic dermatitis so idk if it interacted weirdly with that or not), so I got switched to an ivermectin cream that has worked wonders.
I have now been without that pustular redness I used to have for almost 3 years and it feels amazing. I apply the ivermectin cream approx. every other day as I don't need it daily anymore. I'll sometimes have flare-ups of flushing, especially after workouts or cold weather, but I also can't really avoid either when living in Northern Europe and wanting to stay healthy lmao.
omg the rosacea + seborrheic derm combo is deadly.
You look amazing...dear lady... thanks for your lessons 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I look for claims about calming and soothing skin, and recently I've been looking into products with a bit of a green tint. My derm told me I have keratosis pilaris on my cheeks rather than rosacea, but I still gravitate toward products that people with rocasea like because I have the same issue with facial redness and flushing. I'm aiming to eventually get laser treatment on my cheeks, but I'm trying to refine my skincare routine until then. I like the calming feeling of a lot of products geared toward facial redness anyway.
I've started using hydrocolloid bandages all over my cheeks, nose and chin. They are helping sooo much. It helped the little micro abrasions heal up, which is making it easier for the skin barrier to repair. I didn't realize until using them how many little cuts and abrasions were in my skin.
Thanks again for the video! Not a skin related question, but just wanted to say Love the lip color you used in this video. Would you mind sharing what you used?
Can you do a video about procedures you’ve had done and recommend? Like lip fillers (or lip flip) and other injectables?
A really good treatment I have found is mixing Grapeseed Oil and Lotion together. This has been very helpful for both my Pustuial and Ocular Rosacea.
I personally would love to hear more about in office treatments. I have had a few rounds of IPL for redness and I'm currently on Rhofade prescription cream, but I'm really not noticing significant improvement. 😫
Please do follow up with in office treatments for rosacea. :)
Hi Dr. Idriss. I would very much be interested in some additional information about in office procedures for Rosacea.
🚨🚨 I want everyone to see this because it works so well for me 🚨🚨
I got prescribed Rhofade by my dermatologist. It's a topical decongestant. Oral decongestants often shrink the blood vessels inside our sinuses and this uses the same mechanism. It's a cream you apply to the areas you have rosacea and it shrinks those superfluous blood vessels so your face doesn't turn red anymore. You do have to apply it like 3 hours before you want it to take effect. It also made those areas of my face more sensitive to touch, so it was a little painful if I rubbed my cheek after the Rhofade had taken effect. I'm a sweaty person so that's the main issue for me, my skin gets revenge sweaty when I put anything on it. But it works sooo well.
Additionally, my skin is very dry and that is going to inflame your skin more. So I make sure I moisturize my face really well with a thick heavy moisturizer. I avoid most of the regular facial moisturizers because they are very thin and contain a lot of water and alcohol (a lot of lotions in general use alcohol fyi). These don't keep my skin moisturized all day. The water evaporates and draws more moisture out of my skin and obviously alcohol dehydrates it too. I've been using straight up Vaseline or the Vaseline Soothing Hydration lotion in the green bottle (which I think is technically a body lotion.)
I dont lool for claims anymore but i know by trial and error that rosewater, salycilic acid, peptides and khiels ultra cream are ok. No vitamin C, no hyaluronic acid, no fermented skincare and absolutely no product after expiration date. Just bought the Azaleic acid so I am excited to try it 🥰 Thinking of granactive retinoid. thank you for the video, Dr Idriss, awesome overview as always ❤
I have rosacea for 8 years.... and beside a good lifestyle, those are products that helped me: face wahs- cucumber by boots, tea tree & witch hazel by boots, khiels, cosrx, purito, tonik/serum/ essence- khiels tonik, vit c purito, mugwort essence, vichy 89, innisfree hyaluronic acid, rice cerum hyram selfless (the best ever), cream- khiels, purito, nala, hydrabio bioderma, shiseido waso, its skin aloe vera.....
FYI, the cetaphil AR tinted sunscreen is amazing for covering up redness with a very natural skin finish
Thank you Debbie! My gastro system happens to be a mess at the same time!!!
Thanks Shreene!! I'm using metronidazole cream and it's helping. What about at home lazers? Also, what about oats? Been using the Aveeno oat cleaner for a year and it's always felt calming.
