What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It most commonly appears on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and may worsen over time if left untreated.
Rosacea often flares in cycles, with symptoms coming and going depending on various triggers such as heat, sunlight, spicy foods, alcohol, or stress. In some cases, it can also affect the eyes (ocular rosacea) or lead to thickened skin, particularly around the nose (a condition known as rhinophyma).
Although the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, it is not contagious and is more commonly seen in adults with fair skin. While there is no permanent cure, treatment can effectively control symptoms.
Rosacea affects up to 6% of the global population, making it a relatively common chronic skin condition.1

Evidence-based rosacea treatment
Some studies show that 76% of patients with papulopustular rosacea using ivermectin 1% cream once daily for 12 weeks saw a significant reduction in inflammatory lesions2 3.
Studies show that patients using metronidazole 0.75% gel twice daily experienced up to a 65% reduction in lesion count after 8 weeks4 5.
Studies show that azelaic acid 15% gel applied twice daily led to marked improvements in redness and pustules over a 12-week period6 7.
Studies show that 90% of patients with treatment-resistant rosacea who used low-dose isotretinoin achieved clear or almost clear skin after 4 months, with sustained remission in many cases8 9.
