About this deal

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that’s water-soluble and often used in skincare products because it has numerous benefits for the skin. Once applied to the areas where you are experiencing rosacea symptoms, you will feel immediate relief as the inflammation and redness start to subside. It’s an antioxidant that can help reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling, and it’s also been shown to help repair the skin barrier.

This is probably one of the best ways to help control rosacea symptoms, as what you eat can significantly impact your skin. This is more important than you might think because a strengthened skin barrier is the foundation of healthy skin, and once you have that, you will find it easier to manage rosacea and achieve and maintain clear skin. It’s even possible to not experience them for months and even years if you’re doing everything right! However, it’s definitely better to avoid them if you can, as antibiotics are a short-term therapy and can’t be used for longer than 3-6 months. Visible blood vessels:These typically appear as thin red lines on the cheeks and nose due to the dilation of small blood vessels below the skin surface.The symptoms typically come and go, with many people reporting that certain factors, such as spending time in the sun, eating spicy foods, drinking alcohol, or experiencing emotional stress, bring them on. The best way to use it is by warming it up between your fingertips until it melts and pressing it into the skin rather than rubbing it like a regular moisturizer.

However, to make sure that your skin won’t react to this ingredient, opt for a product with a low concentration of niacinamide of 3-5%. Azelaic Acid La Roche-Posay say that Panthenol “ in combination with zinc and madecassosside, [is] present in Cicaplast Baume B5 …which can be used on cases of nappy rash or minor burns to form a protective barrier.” Personally I use this on my dermatitis, any (very rare) sunburn, scrapes, dry elbows and knees… anywhere and everywhere basically! Some of the main ones include softening shea butter, hydrating glycerin, soothing and repairing panthenol, nourishing magnesium, anti-inflammatory zinc, as well as Madecassoside, which is one of the four main compounds in the plant extract Centella Asiatica, a soothing and repairing agent that helps strengthen the skin barrier. Certain foods and drinks can trigger inflammation and worsen rosacea symptoms, so it’s important to be aware of these triggers and avoid them. Azelaic acid is another ingredient that can help reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling that comes with rosacea.A strong and healthy skin barrier will also withstand further flare-ups and make your skin better able to not react in inflamed bumps and rashes to the triggers that can cause them. Alternative Rosacea Treatments

You can find this ingredient in spot treatments, face masks, and cleansers; however, because it can be drying, it’s important to use it only on the areas that are affected by rosacea and follow it up with a good moisturizer. Oral Antibiotics 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. Additionally, antibiotics are notorious for causing gut issues and yeast infections due to the disturbance of the microbiome, so it’s really not worth it, in my opinion, even though they can provide short-term relief.

Rosacea: Overview & Symptoms

Sometimes rosacea follows a progression, going from temporary flushing of the nose and cheeks to longer-lasting flushing, then to the appearance of a rash and small blood vessels beneath the skin. 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. Diet Modifications All of these properties make niacinamide an excellent ingredient for those dealing with rosacea, as it can help soothe the symptoms and calm the skin.

Alternative Rosacea Treatments

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. Sulfur is a natural element and has long been used to treat acne and other skin conditions. It works by helping the skin shed dead skin cells, unclog pores, and absorb excess oil. In the photo above you can see the formula of the products: the Cicaplast Baume B5 on the left has (what I always refer to as) a ‘sturdy’ texture, whereas the Cicaplast Gel B5 has more of a silicone-like silky feel. Which is why the release of La Roche-Posay Gel B5*is such a big deal for me. It takes all of the things I love about the Baume B5 (alcohol-free, fragrance-free, calming, soothing, suitable for both adults and children) but puts them into a lightweight, easily absorbed formula. 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.
