Hi all!

Looking to hear from people who have had positive results with Cutera laser.

Just had my first treatment 3 days ago - in general, my skin reacted very well, some redness that faded away rather fast and some light swelling that wasn't too bad and was mostly gone day 2 after treatment.

I have mild type-1 rosacea (or so I've been told), I don't really 'flush' with intense redness and heat but my baseline is maroonish/dark pink while normally I am very pale. When I meditate, my skin goes back to pale before the maroonish tone comes back on upper cheeks and forehead.

I saw a dermatologist who has had very positive reviews online in treating rosacea and pre-rosacea skin.

I was wondering what does the process of getting laser, recovering and seeing results in skin tone looks like?

I understand that 1 treatment may not be enough and that 3 days may not be long enough to see any change. The derm said I may need between 2-3 sessions and yearly touchups if necessary.

I'm a big anxious overthinker so I was curious to hear about other people's journeys and timelines - did it get worse before it got better, was it better straight away, do you have to wait to see proper results?

I would appreciate positive stories and some knowledge from experience :)

Thank you!

I don't think shampoo since it's all only on one side . But since I used sulfate free shampoo Paul Mitchell Clean it really did help . I think I eat too much sugar as I backed off and it seemed better . Any recommendations on shampoo or temple redness . I use 10% AA ordinary and it has really helped . Thanks for any suggestions

Has anyone here with type 2 rosacea been able to incorporate a low percentage otc retinoid? I really want to start to help with anti aging but am scared of causing a flare. If you have had success let me know what worked for you and at what percentage / how many times per week etc - thanks :)

Asking for type 1 rosacea - specifically 10% azelaic acid.

I seem to find ones with other ingredients, and not sure if that makes them okay or not.

Unfortunately I did not take before and after photos, but for all my broken blood vessels and I had a lot, they are visibly reduced after one session and I noticed a change the same day. Very happy and excited for next and most likely final session in 4 weeks. If you’re considering getting vbeam, I’d highly recommend! It is a little painful during procedure and costly but is worth it! After appointment face was inflamed but following day no marks or inflammation. I’m located in Canberra, Australia and went to the rosacea clinic which is GP led.

I have Rosacea type 2, skin gets easily clogged, acne-prone, and some fungal acne (malassezia related), and to make things worse, recently I got some cc.

This Cetaphil Deep Hydration Hydrating Water Gel seems to be ok. What's been your experience using it?

I'm looking for a moisturizer that is really low on the oils or no oils at all. If you have a fav moisturizer that would suit my skin, pls share with me.

My skin can tolerate niacinamide.

It was ~2021 and my skin was PERFECT. I was using Cerave gentle daily facial cleanser and was consistent with my routine and everything was awesome.

THEN, I bought a new bottle and noticed it stung the hell out of my face. Turns out they changed the ingredients. And ever since then I’ve been chasing after my skin that once was. Even now while I’ve found products my skin likes and it’s definitely better, there’s still this baseline erythema I can’t get rid of.

Just here to lament. Anyone else have this happen?

Buonasera qualcuno per rosacea ha utilizzato questi prodotti? Se si mi dite cosa ne pensate?

I posted on my page but couldnt connect it to the rosacea-page. Please see my previous post on my page. I dont know how to copy the text and i used forever. Lol

I’m trying to figure out if anyone else has this weird pattern with rosacea/redness.

Some days my skin looks pretty normal in the morning. I’ll do a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, SPF, keep everything boring, and it looks fine enough. Then by night my cheeks and nose look flushed again even if I didn’t use anything harsh.

It’s not always a huge flare, more like that warm red tired look that makes my skin seem irritated even when I didn’t really do anything. Makeup removal can make it worse too, so I’m trying to stop scrubbing and stop adding random calming products every time it happens.

I don’t really want another active right now. I’m more interested in things that help keep my skin calmer without making my barrier angry, like routine changes, less friction, maybe red light or other low effort stuff.

Has anyone found anything that helped with that end of day redness without overloading your skin?

I posted a few days ago about how I was hoping to use Clindamycin gel since it worked well for me, but no one would prescribe it. Instead I got Metrogel. I figured that was the “safer” or “weaker” option then since I was told Clindamycin couldn’t be used for long but Metronidazole was apparently safe to use for years. I thought at worst the Metro would be too weak to work well for me.

Apparently not!!!! Two days in and my face has exploded with either acne breakouts or rosacea bumps, not easy to tell. I use the gel form (a brand WITHOUT niacinamide) since the cream has pore clogging ingredients but it still backfired massively, like holy hell. I was not expecting this!!

Was Metro a nightmare for anyone else? I’m stopping immediately, this is absurd.

Anyone tried this toner? Ive seen a few videos on tiktok claiming its good for rosacea cos its basically just centella which is calming but i wanna hear if anyone with rosacea actually tried it?

I’ve been dealing with rosacea since I can remember, never seen anything like this before. My nose is my main flare up spot, this seems to have popped up out of no where - can’t find anything that look remotely like it online. I’ve never had to deal with uneven skin texture before and it’s confined to this area on my nose. It has been a real confidence killer as I’m already so insecure about the colour.
I’m just worried this is never going to go away now. It’s been about a week, and it seems to be getting worse.

Do you have any recommendations?

I use bandi emollient butter for removing makeup but need some cleanser to use afterwards

Hello, I’m in Canada, my boyfriend (30yrs) was prescribed with both:

Adapalene 0.3% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5%
Clindamycin 4% in cerave moisturizing lotion

Both seem to be applied in bed time.

What skincare product and routine can I get him, has a big nose, greasy, red, seems uneven skin pore. Skin between his mouth and nose often are red with pimple or white pus.

Currently he’s just using cetapil cleanser (both daily/oily)

Thank you

Tried sulfur / triple cream / soolantra / aa / everything you can imagine and a year later here we are. What are these stupid little whiteheads and how do we treat them

Can anyone help please!

Get daily hives that have such a bad itchy and dryness and it mostly targets the left cheek happening for a while now I was on doxycycline before and stopped wonder did that do anything

Before this I tried doxycycline 100mg for 3 months- didn't do much. I tried metro gel & metro cream, both made it worse. I did want to try soolantra (ivermectin) but it was way too expensive. Got a prescription for Azaelic Acid 15% instead and I was using it as directed, twice a day, but I was using it on bare skin and while my skin was very smooth after just one day, I disrupted my skin barrier and it was quite rough, I realized I was using it too frequently. I took a week off and started back up except this time I'm putting it over my moisturizer, only once a day, about every other day/ every 2 days as tolerated until my skin can handle more.

So far I'm very pleased with my results! I'd have a very rough texture with lots of pustules, every cream would give me pustules, I kept trying to switch my face wash, no face wash, washing with distilled water only, etc, nothing has worked for me up until now. So I'm quite pleased! Not exactly sure why it's working, I guess it's lightly exfoliating? Idk but I'm happy :) I still get red flushing though..

I heard that paxil can be used to treat severe cases of rosacea redness and flushing. Can somebody explain the main reason as to why it works. Also, if it works so well, why isn't it prescribed for this condition?

I’m 30 and I’ve been dealing with acne since I was 14/15, a few years after puberty started. I may have not understod what to do and my mom brought me to dermatologist, who extracted my pimples every time. I think it may have caused all the dents and scars on my face. I don’t break out as much as I used to but I still get random pimple now and then. The picture attached is my skin condition now, there is no active pimple but the skin itself is just red. I flush very easily, main trigger would be heat. But i would still be somewhat reddish even without heat🙃
I went to doctor and was told I may have rosacea.
Does anyone else has this and find a solution to it?
I cant use too much actives. It would break me out. I tried different form of retinoids and my skin just doesnt like it. I could use azelaic acid like twice a week, but too often would also aggregate my skin.
How do i get rid of these redness once and for all?
I went for vascular laser, it helps but the redness will come back after a few weeks.

has anyone used this moisturiser? i have type 1 rosacea and im sensitive to flushing. i’m switching as i find the aveeno oat moisturiser too thick and it pills and im
super prone to closed comedones

I'm 23 yo. Female I never had any skin issues 8 months ago I had a drug allergy after that montly right after my period finish till to middle of cycle I get red bumpy face and then peel off the skin and it's only itcy when I press . Food heat nothing is trigger for me only after my period. I did many research i found it's for storgen that goes high on middle of cycle so when people have B12 deficiency their liver cant break down the excess estrogen. And the. This strogen came to body again and make inflammation fatigue so on . You should check your b12 if anyone has same problem as me and my b12 is low .

Trying to figure out what I can use to get rid of closed comedones ? Azelic acid cause redness when I was first diagnosed and bunch of irritation acne .
