Okay, so your dermatologist has confirmed your worst fear: you have rosacea. While there is no miracle cure for this skin condition, the good news is that with all the products for rosacea that are available, you can treat and control your skin in order to maintain a healthy complexion. Do not let your rosacea get the best of you: read on to find out which products are the best for your skin.

Cleansers, cosmetics and sunscreens, all essential parts of a skincare and beauty regimen, can often contain many irritating chemicals and ingredients that aggravate and irritate rosacea. The best products for rosacea tend to have fewer ingredients, and you want to avoid anything that contains irritants such as fragrance, benzyl alcohol, glycolic acid, sodium hydroxide, lactic acid, isopropyl palmitate and propylene glycol. There are many soap free cleansers that work well for those with rosacea, as many soaps are too strong and dry out skin. Check out Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar, which is both moisturizing and noncomedogenic at the same time.

If you suffer from more severe rosacea, you may want to turn to a medicated cleanser. You can ask your dermatologist to prescribe Plexion, one of the best products for rosacea. Plexion is a prescription medicated cleanser that combines the antimicrobial action of sodium sulfacetamide with sulfur to effectively control symptoms of rosacea.

Other products for rosacea include Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and La Roche-Posay Active C. Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion is non irritating and oil free, containing emollients that bind moisture to your skin. It is also free or fragrance and parabens, both of which often cause irritation to skin. La Roche Posay Active C is a topical Vitamin C serum that helps reduce erythema on the skin. As an added bonus, it helps stimulate collagen production and can reduce wrinkles.

To help cover your red skin, there are also some great cosmetic products for rosacea as well. When looking for makeup to cover your rosacea, you will want to stick oil in water based as opposed to water in oil based. Oil in water based products tend to contain more water, feel lighter on the skin and are less likely to cause irritation. Brands that carry good makeup for covering rosacea include Bare Minerals and Paulas Choice products.
