If you’re searching for the best moisturizer for rosacea, I can relate—those red, rosy cheeks (and not the kind from blush) can be frustrating. While I can’t always stop the flare-ups, a great cream can soothe the irritation and help repair your skin barrier. “Rosacea is a skin condition associated with redness, dryness and irritation—and anyone with rosacea should look for a moisturizer with calming ingredients to reduce inflammation,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dara Spearman tells Vogue, noting that moisturizers act as a protective barrier and should soothe while adding much needed hydration.
I’m fairly new to the rosacea club myself and didn’t receive a diagnosis until just a year ago. After months of dealing with flare-ups on my cheeks, I went through a frustrating cycle of thinking it was just acne, applying various pimple creams, and finding no relief. Eventually, I visited my new dermatologist, who took one look at my cheeks and spoted those annoying red speckles as a case of rosacea.
