Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin disorder that can seriously impair quality of life. Treatment starts with general measures which include gentle skin cleansing, photoprotection, and avoidance of exacerbating factors such as changes in temperature, ultraviolet light, stress, alcohol, and some foods.

For people living with a more serious form of rosacea, specific topical treatments include Metronidazole, Azelaic Acid, and Brimonidine, either as monotherapy or in combination, which is recommended. Laser therapies may also be beneficial. But before commencing any of the above, an alternative OTC approach with selected herbal combinations might be beneficial.

There are a number of natural ingredients such as Gotu Kola (centella), Rooibos Tea, Boswellia, or Aloe Vera, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and soothing benefits to red, irritated skin. Gotu Kola may also repair veins and broken capillaries, which is a key attribute for treating redness associated with rosacea.

Oil containing GLA and omega-6 fatty acids such as evening primrose and linseed may also help. Dermal Therapy’s Redness Relief Cream uses a clever combination of soothing herbs, fortified with an antioxidant complex, and is clinically tested to reduce redness similar to a prescribed 15% azelaic acid containing product.
