If you have Rosacea, chances are that your skin's barrier is damaged. This means your skin loses water regardless of how much you drink or how oily your skin is.
That creates deep dehydration, and at this point, a Rosacea cream comes into play.

However, it's common for Rosacea to show up after 30, which means the skin naturally tends to be dry.

Sensitive skin has an even harder time in the winter or dry conditions.
 
But finding the correct Rosacea cream, or any Rosacea skincare product, is not easy.
 
Many over-the-counter products might irritate or aggravate the redness.

So, in this post, you'll find four reasons to choose the proper Rosacea cream, and the top CosMedix products available for Rosacea skin.

1. Your Rosacea cream helps your skin work better

Using the right Rosacea cream increases your water content for your enzymes to do their job.

On the surface of your skin, some enzymes break down dead cells so that your skin can get rid of them.

Water is essential for them to perform at their best.

Because these enzymes don't work as well without enough water, they don't break down the proteins that keep dead cells together correctly.

That leads to the shedding of clumped cells that look like scales.

Your Rosacea cream stops the peeling and flakiness by increasing water content for your skin to perform its best.

2. Your Rosacea moisturiser relieves burning, stinging, itching and irritation

A Rosacea cream can also help reduce redness by keeping bacteria at bay.
Rosacea creams add an extra layer of protection. It also makes the skin's barrier stronger and less permeable, which helps keep out dirt and irritants that may aggravate sensitive skin.

This reduces sensitivity, irritation, inflammation, peeling, burning, and redness*.
*Cooling your Rosacea cream in the fridge may help alleviate these symptoms further.

A restored, more hydrated, calm, and protected skin feels less reactive and relaxed. Try Rescue and you’ll get that in minutes.

3. The right Rosacea cream hydrates and softens your skin

One common mistake people with Rosacea and oily skin make are thinking they don't need a Rosacea cream.

Oil and water are two different things. If you suffer from Rosacea, chances are your skin is losing water.

Moisturisers are oil-based (for dry skin) or water-based (for oily skin). If you have oily skin, try a water-based Rosacea cream instead of none at all.

Water fills up your skin cells like a balloon. When they have enough water, they grow bigger. They keep smaller when they don't.

Larger cells reduce water loss through evaporation by limiting the gaps between them.

Rosacea creams help you retain or replenish water in your “balloons” in three ways:

• Occlusive ingredients: build an impermeable coat on the skin surface. The water is locked inside, preventing evaporation. This has an immediate effect, but it doesn't fix the problem.
• Humectants act as magnets attracting and holding water on the surface of your skin. Some examples are Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and lactic acid.
• Emollients: These are lipids, like the ones your skin already has. They get into the spaces between your skin cells, repairing and strengthening your natural barrier. They don't work quickly, but their results last longer.

They include fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides to speed up the healing process.

CosMedix has the right mix of the three types of ingredients to make your skin softer and more flexible while also calming your Rosacea. Use a creamy serum, with anti-redness properties made by CosMedix ELITE called, “Reduce” and an absorbent gel hydrator called, “Relief.”  These are two universal products that work well on all skin types an ages whether you are peri-menopausal or have an oilier male skin.

4. Your Rosacea cream can improve your treatment results

In the most severe cases, you might need medication. However, studies show that applying a barrier repair Rosacea cream can also help you get better results from your topical treatment.

Also, a proper Rosacea cream can help reduce the risk of skin irritation that can happen when people use topical prescription drugs.

It also makes your skin less dry, peeling, and rough.

Use your prescribed Rosacea lotion first and allow it to dry completely. Then follow up with your Rosacea cream.

It can also be beneficial to prime your skin for 3-5 days with the correct cleanser and moisturiser before beginning your topical therapy.

Priming the skin is like prepping a wall covered in flaking paint by the effects of environmental wear and tear before repainting it with a new fresh coat.

Prepping the skin is ideal for severe Rosacea with a lot of erythema.
