Anyone have rosacea? What helps?

I've had mild rosacea for about a year now and I've spent so much time and money trying to minimize the redness and flare ups. Does anyone have any tips, advice or suggestions for makeup or skin care that helps reduce or cover redness? Thank you!

Vitamin K cream or serum...I'm assuming you're already using a calming/sensitive skin sort of moisturizer. Use a green color correcting primer to minimize redness before you put on makeup.

I have not tried vitamin K cream or serum yet! Going to try it. :)

Lancôme Hydra Zen has a soothing calming effect. Try to ask for a sample and try it!

Green tinted concealer cancels the red so that might help you!  :)

I had eczema and my doctor prescribed hydrocortisone to reduce the redness and itchiness and it completely disappeared in a month! maybe hydrocortisone may help reduce it

I use a yellow color correcting concealer from NYx under my foundation.

I'm so glad you wrote this. I to have rosacea. My mother has it and so does my grandmother. I actually do facials and see a lot of clients with this. It can be so annoying. Sometimes very hot a bit itchy and sometimes can come from no where. Mine comes up if I'm stressed or have been eating spicy food, oh also if I have a glass of red wine! I tend to use a fantastic cream that contains something called bilberry. This marvellous berry helps to support blood vessels within the skin and stops them from leaking. The organic pharmacy do a very good one.

You can also use a green based cream to counterbalance the redness in the face
