Rosacea Guide
If you have rosacea (or rosacea-like redness), you’re not alone.
Facial redness and flushing are incredibly common — and often confusing. Rosacea can show up as persistent redness, visible blood vessels, acne-like bumps, burning or stinging, and sometimes eye irritation. Many people go years without clear answers or a routine that actually feels safe.
Rosacea Guide exists to make this simpler. We publish warm, evidence-informed education to help you understand common patterns of redness-prone skin, reduce avoidable irritation, and build a gentle routine you can stick with.
Our mission & goals
Our mission is to improve public understanding of rosacea and sensitive-skin redness through calm, clear education — and to help people make safer skincare decisions.
- Explain rosacea and redness-prone skin in plain English
- Highlight common triggers and habits that may worsen symptoms
- Share routine guidance that prioritizes barrier support and irritation reduction
- Encourage appropriate medical care when symptoms suggest it’s needed
- Provide simple tools and checklists that make self-management easier
Important: This site is educational and not medical advice. If symptoms are severe, worsening, painful, or involve your eyes, please see a qualified healthcare professional.

You don’t need a dozen products. Start simple, watch patterns, and add slowly.
1) Learn your pattern
Is your redness mostly flushing with heat/stress? Persistent redness? Bumps that look like acne? Stinging after skincare? Noticing the pattern helps you choose safer next steps.
2) Build a gentle baseline routine
A gentle cleanser, simple moisturizer, and mineral sunscreen are often the best “reset.” Then introduce new products one at a time.
3) Know when it’s time to get help
If symptoms are worsening, painful, or involve your eyes (grittiness, burning, redness), it’s worth getting clinical guidance.
