Hi! 1.Why no HA for rosacea? Should I stop using CeraVe cream? 2. Are chemical sunscreens not safe for rosacea? 3. Is 10% azelaic acid cream effective enough?
If the Cerave isn’t causing any irritation or flares for you, it’s fine to keep using it. Same for chemical sunscreens. These are just ingredients that are potentially irritating, but everyone‘a skin is different so what irritates others might not irritate you. Personally, I find high SPF mineral sunscreens irritating because they can be kind of abrasive and require a lot of rubbing in.
I’ve seen other dermatologists saying foaming face wash is too abrasive on the skin, damaging the barrier, and to avoid those styles if you have rosacea.
there’s fragrance in cetaphil foaming wash, and that moisturizer is definitely not affordable lol, it’s $80 cad for that tiny bottle… does anyone have any better options for these?
