What causes rosacea?
Rosacea is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and abnormalities in the immune system and blood vessels.1
Environmental factors such as sun exposure, extreme temperatures, spicy foods, alcohol, and certain skincare products can trigger or worsen rosacea symptoms.1
Symptoms of rosacea
Common rosacea symptoms include constant facial redness, flushing or blushing easily, visible blood vessels, bumps or pimples, and thickened or swollen skin. Some people may also experience stinging or burning sensations, dryness, eye irritation, and skin texture changes. Rosacea symptoms often occur on the central part of the face, such as the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.1

When applied topically, clears redness and swelling by destroying rosacea-causing bacteria and decreasing keratin, a natural substance that can clog pores.

Note: This information is based on data from reputable sources. Individual experiences may vary, and it is important to consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
The exact cause of rosacea hasn’t been determined however it’s thought to be caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors.1
Rosacea triggers differ from person to person, and may include sun exposure, hot weather, stress, alcohol, spicy foods, hot baths, saunas, exercise, certain skin care products, and certain medications.1
Keeping a diary of when your rosacea occurs may help to identify what triggers your rosacea.
Rosacea exclusively affects the face. However, some people may also experience rosacea symptoms on their ears, eyes, neck, upper back, and chest.1
Depending on the severity of symptoms, a personalised treatment plan for rosacea must be prescribed by a medical professional. A treatment plan may include oral and topical medications to treat and control flare ups, and/or anti-inflammatory therapy to maintain remission. Laser therapies and lifestyle modifications may also be recommended to prevent and treat the condition.
There’s no cure for rosacea, however the condition can be managed via a clinician-prescribed treatment plan.
