But, because doing everything right is very subjective regarding skincare, as every skin is different, I’ll give you some general tips to help you keep your rosacea under control. La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast Baume B5 is a multi-purpose balm that can be used for various skin conditions, including rosacea. So, while the Cicaplast Baume B5 won’t necessarily treat or get rid of rosacea, it can noticeably improve the symptoms, soothe and protect the skin, and repair the skin barrier, which is often damaged in those dealing with this inflammatory condition.

It’s so gentle and repairing that it can even be used after stitches, cosmetic peels, or lasers and on closed scars – which shows how great it will be on sensitive or reactive skin like mine.

Sulfur can also help reduce the redness and swelling that comes with rosacea, as it’s a natural anti-inflammatory agent. If your doctor does prescribe them to you, make sure to take a probiotic and eat a diet rich in fermented foods to help offset the potential side effects. On the other hand, you can always talk to your doctor and ask them for an alternative treatment option.

It is sometimes accompanied by tingling or burning, and the reddened skin may turn rough and scaly. It commonly spreads across the cheeks and nose and takes a butterfly shape.
