Rosacea is one of the unpleasant skin diseases that mainly appears on the face area. Usually this disease becomes chronic and occurs in several stages. It appears in people over the age of 30, and often affects light-colored skin.
A special cream is often used to treat this disease. Rosacea cream is often used because treatment with this product gives positive results almost from the first days of use.
Basic principles of rosacea treatment
During medical therapy, several therapeutic therapies are used at once. Many cosmetologists claim that the use of external products - various creams, gels, ointments - gives only temporary results.
Important! Together with external medications, you need to use medications and follow a special diet, which should be aimed at strengthening blood vessels and restoring the nervous system.
Treatment for rosacea should be aimed at providing the following positive results:
- First of all, treatment should ensure the patient’s complete recovery. During it, persistent redness on the surface of the facial skin, bumps and pustules should completely disappear;
- the patient must achieve balance in his psycho-emotional state. It is necessary to eliminate stress and other factors that irritate the nervous system and cause rosacea;
- returning patients to an adequate appearance. It is worth remembering that rosacea is not only skin damage and redness, but also a serious psychological trauma for the patient. After treatment, it is important to restore his self-confidence and get rid of various psychological complexes;
- It is extremely important to prevent the development of further complications. In the future, complications can cause persistent and irreversible processes on the skin;
- complete restoration of the structure of the facial skin.
Hydration
Moisturizer is one of the main remedies that reduces the feeling of burning, tightness, itching on the skin, which are often symptoms of rosacea. An important function of moisturizer is to form a barrier that protects the skin from environmental irritants.
Now there are many creams designed for sensitive skin, with a soothing, moisturizing effect. Some of them contain a special greenish pigment that visually reduces redness.
Features of choosing a cream
Facial skin problems, even small ones, always cause serious inconvenience, both physical and psychological. Therefore, it is important to take the necessary therapeutic measures in a timely manner and select an effective remedy.
Important! Cosmetics for external use for rosacea should be selected with special care. Otherwise, the disease will progress at a particularly rapid rate. It is important to strictly follow all the recommendations of specialists and use only those products prescribed by the doctor. This will all help quickly eliminate the disease and prevent complications.
Dermatologists especially often prescribe an ointment such as Skinoren or Metrogyl gel. These medications are very popular and are often used to treat rosacea. But only a doctor should prescribe them after conducting the necessary examination.
Sometimes it is recommended to use medications based on active ingredients such as isotretinoin or Roaccutane. But ointments containing these components should be used with extreme caution. External remedies are effective in the treatment of acne, pimples, and rosacea. However, it cannot be used by all patients, because they have contraindications. If the dosage is exceeded, side effects may occur:
- Various skin problems;
- The appearance of red spots;
- Skin irritations;
- Various allergic reactions.
In addition, when choosing a cream for the treatment of rosacea, you should consider the following recommendations:
- all creams for therapeutic therapy must have, first of all, a therapeutic effect;
- have a hypoallergenic effect, the structure of external products should not cause irritation and inflammation;
- You should not buy creams with fragrances;
- It is especially important that cosmetics provide protection from exposure to ultraviolet radiation, especially during the warm season;
- It is desirable that the composition contains reparants. These components ensure rapid restoration of damaged tissue. Reparants include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Rules for caring for skin with rosacea
Optimally selected skin care products will not cure the disease, but will significantly reduce the manifestations of dermatosis. When choosing skincare products, pay attention to what skin they are intended for.
All cosmetics should be for sensitive skin or designed specifically for people with rosacea. Avoid using products that may cause burning, irritation or tingling of the epidermis. Such drugs will only aggravate the skin problem and provoke a relapse of the disease.
Do not use cosmetics that contain substances such as menthone, mint, eucalyptus, alcohol, or witch hazel oil. Also completely avoid using industrial and homemade scrubs.
Even the most gentle peelings severely injure the skin and worsen the progression of dermatosis.
Also, do not use masks or other products that have an astringent texture.
When choosing cleansing products, give preference to those that do not contain fragrances or fragrances. These components can cause dermatitis. Pay attention to the presence of the “allergy tested” mark on the packaging.
Such products will not provoke a relapse of the disease and will gently cleanse the skin.

Before applying a new milk or gel to your face, test the product on a small area of skin on your neck or arm. If you notice an allergic reaction, do not use the product on your face under any circumstances.
In addition, pay attention to the components that are included in the composition and be careful when you next purchase cleansers and other cosmetics.
Please note that each person prone to the appearance of dermatosis may have different irritants, so you do not need to be guided by the advice of your girlfriends when choosing skincare products, focus on the reactions of your own body.
There is no need to try to use all the products that are presented on the cosmetics market. On the contrary, limit your list of skincare products and give preference when purchasing multifunctional products.
Antibiotics taken orally for rosacea
The most effective oral antibiotics for treating facial rosacea are:
- Metronidazole.
This drug has a pronounced antibacterial effect and rarely, compared to other antibiotics, causes complications. Therefore, you can take it for 8 weeks, but no more.
- Ornidazole.
This drug has an effect similar to Metronidazole. It is prescribed 500 mg once a day. The course of treatment lasts no more than 10 days.
- Doxycycline.
This is an antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline group. It is prescribed when inflammation is caused by not one, but several types of pathogenic flora. The average dosage is 200 mg 2 times a day.
- Minocycline.
Also an antibiotic of the tetracycline group. It is prescribed if the patient does not respond well to Doxycycline therapy. If the disease is in an acute stage, the patient is prescribed 100 mg of the drug per day. As inflammation subsides, the dosage is reduced to 50 mg per day. The maximum duration of treatment should not exceed 14 days. If this condition is not met, the risk of developing complications such as liver failure, dysbacteriosis, and kidney dysfunction increases.
- Roxithromycin.
Antibiotic from the macrolide group. This drug is prescribed when a bacterial flora that is sensitive to it has been identified. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 0.3 g, it is divided into 2 doses. The duration of therapy is 21 days, but no more.
- Erythromycin.
This is the drug of choice in the treatment of rosacea, so it is prescribed more often than others. It has a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity and in most cases is well tolerated by patients. The daily dose can vary in the range of 0.5-1.5 mg.
The given medications are suitable for the treatment of the average patient whose rosacea occurs in the absence of severe concomitant pathologies. If there is any damage to the digestive system or hormonal disorders, then some medications may be contraindicated for use. Therefore, self-prescription of antibiotics is an unacceptable measure in the treatment of rosacea.

Face cream for Rosacea from Quasix
Hello everyone. Perhaps what I want to tell you about is not exactly decorative cosmetics. But I am an old fighter against Rosacea, and I know from myself how important and necessary it is to share information with others, especially if there has been success in this very fight. Rosacea is a nasty thing, and it doesn’t make us look good, and if somehow we managed to give it diarrhea, then it’s a crime to remain silent about it.
I have been living with this for three and a half years, and I don’t want to describe the pain in detail. The network is full of descriptions without my opinion. I can only say from my experience that if your face burns after hot or spicy food, if it turns red and itchy after the sun, and you are slightly over thirty, go see a doctor. And the sooner the better.
As I understand now, I was almost the first to buy Quasix in this country. When you have a chronic disease, and especially if it is related to your appearance, then of course, within a couple of years you get used to catching any information on possible treatment. For example, I have taken up the habit of hanging around all sorts of medical exhibitions in my free and not so free time. There really is some necessary information that will be useful to me and which I would like to share on the forum with my sisters in misfortune.
A couple of months ago, a newsletter was sent to my work computer by mistake about holding a Congress on Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology in our Capital City. I warn you right away that it is very difficult to get to such events on the first day of its work. But in the next days you can buy a ticket and wander around the exhibition. As a rule, many campaign participants there sell what is presented at the stands.
That’s where I bought Quazix cream, two at once. One for my skin type (closer to oily) and one, keeping in mind the coming spring and the growing sun, with an ultraviolet filter. I flew home low above the ground, I really wanted to try it quickly. Anyone who has some kind of rubbish living on their face will understand me well. We so often fly with the hope of healing, and unfortunately just as often we then slowly wander disappointed. But I’m still flying from Quazix, and already quite high.
First. There is no itching at all. The redness has not appeared for three weeks. The pores of the skin began to look the way they should look on a normal thirty-six-year-old lady, who in her life not only sniffed violets, but also raised two twins and made a career.
It’s difficult to say how much I have driven Rosacea away from me. May God grant you a long time. I no longer believe in complete healing. Yes, and medicine talks about the same thing - maximum deep, long remission. But I hope. And Quasix was the first non-hardware treatment that helped me, and it helped a lot. I recommend it to everyone concerned. And let those who were not affected by this not be affected. Well, to hell with Rosacea. Good luck to all.
