Understanding redness & rosacea

Persistent facial redness is often caused by dilated blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. It may come and go with flushing, or be present all the time.

Rosacea is a common cause of redness. It can't be cured, but it can be managed with the right treatment and skincare.

Knowing the cause helps us choose the right treatment. Common causes include:

  • Rosacea
  • Sun damage
