Dermalogica is another trusted skin-care authority on redness reduction. The brand's Ultracalming line contains only the gentlest ingredients for sensitized skin. This primer is especially soothing, and the green tint immediately counteracts redness when worn under your normal makeup. I used it after my dermatologist prescribed me Tazorac (an OTC retinoid) for a bout of hormonal acne that just wouldn't go away. My skin has never been angrier or more red in the first few weeks on the cream (FYI, the "purge" period is real), but this creamy primer kept my red, flaky face on lockdown -- and the SPF protected my sun-sensitive skin from further damage.
A fluid-like gel especially formulated to treat broken capillaries, this rosacea treatment is free of all the things that make sensitive skin break out in hives: you won't find alcohol, preservatives, parabens, fragrance, colorants or lanolin on the ingredients list. Add a non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic label to it, and we can already hear your skin doing a happy dance.
Specially formulated for sensitive skin, this oil is made from hand-pressed sea buckthorn berries that were painstakingly cultivated on an organic family farm on the coast of Sweden. If the thought of an Alexander Skarsgard-lookalike carefully selecting your skin-care ingredients gets you all red in the face, this oil will make you look like a normal shade of human. With vitamins like A, C, E and omega fatty acids, this rosacea treatment creates an environment in which Demodex mites, an organism that is 50 percent more prevalent on irritated skin and associated with rosacea, fail to thrive.
This thick, concealer-like color corrector completely conceals redness and does. not. budge. throughout the entire day. It has a tacky consistency that layers like a dream under makeup. If you're fighting a battle against rosacea, consider this your war paint.
A thin, serum-like moisturizer that contains a slight tint to relieve redness immediately, this drugstore gem from a derm-favorite brand keeps the flakes away and provides physical, mineral-based sunscreen protection.
