Skinceuticals Rosacea Skin Care Routine
Looking for a Skinceuticals rosacea skin care routine? This is the advice I give my patients on using Skinceuticals products to treat rosacea. These dermatologist-recommended rosacea routines are soothing and calming and can be used with prescription rosacea medications to sooth sensitive skin.
In this blog, I will be sharing essential rosacea skincare routine tips that I’ve learned across my career as a dermatologist who also has rosacea. Typically, I recommend mixing products from various brands, but if you prefer an all-SkinCeuticals routine for rosacea, I will give you my suggestions for the best routine step order to use the SkinCeuticals products.
Skinceuticals Rosacea Skin Care Routines
Before we dive into the science of rosacea face care, make sure to take our 16 Skin Types Quiz so my advice will be more tailored to you. Once you know which of the 16 skin types you are, you can look for your skin type octagon next to products that are good for your redness-prone skin. Here is our collection of rosacea treatment SkinCeuticals products. If you have taken our quiz, you will see your skin type octagon displayed next to the products that are right for your Baumann Skin Type.
The order in which you apply skincare products matters because they influence the absorption, side effects, and efficacy of each other.

The ideal order of skincare steps in a complete rosacea routine composed of all Skinceuticals products is shown below. You can substitute a prescription medication in step 3, the “rosacea cream” step. I have designed an oily skin and a dry skin routine for you, however, there are other issues you may need to address like dark spots and aging. Take our quiz to get a routine that targets all of your barriers to skin health- not just inflammation.
Rosacea Routine for Dry Skin
Dry skin rosacea routines should be designed to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce inflammation with anti-inflammatory ingredients. This is my favorite rosacea skin care routine made with Skinceuticals products for Baumann Skin Type 4: DSNW rosacea prone skin. This is my skin type so I have a lot of personal experience with these products. I personally prefer using the Zerafite Wrinkle Defense Moisturizer as my rosacea moisturizer, but I built the routine below to show you what to do if you want an all SkinCeuticals rosacea routine for dry skin.

Skinceuticals Products and Prescription Rosacea Medications
Rosacea serums and creams from SkinCeuticals are cosmeceutical products not FDA-approved for rosacea but are often used by dermatologists to treat rosacea. They can be used in conjunction with prescription rosacea medications.
If you combine your prescription medication with SkinCeuticals anti-redness products, use them in Step 3 of your am and pm routine.
How to Use Skinceuticals Products for Rosacea
Follow these step instructions on how to use your rosacea routine:
Cleanse : Apply your rosacea-safe cleanser gently using warm or cool water, but not hot or cold. If you have extremely sensitive skin or a flare-up, consider using thermal spa water to wash your face or use a shower filter to remove irritating minerals from the water. Cleanse with gentle circular motions using your fingertips.
Rinse : Thoroughly and gently rinse off the cleanser using your fingertips and lukewarm water.
Dry : Use a clean and dry cotton towel to gently pat your face dry.
Protect Delicate Eye Area : Apply a gentle eye cream to treat the redness and stinging rosacea can cause in the fragile eye area.
Treatment : Apply a rosacea treatment—either a prescription cream or an over-the-counter anti-redness cream.
Moisturizer : Follow with a soothing moisturizer that matches your skin type.
Sunscreen (AM only) : In the morning, apply a mineral, chemical-free sunscreen that is safe for rosacea on top of your moisturizer.
By adhering to these SkinCeuticals rosacea routine steps, you can help calm facial redness and reduce rosacea flares effectively. Remember, the key to managing rosacea is consistency and using dermatologist-recommended products that suit your Baumann Skin Type
