CyraVe moisturizing creme
A mild moisturing creme, but very effective. It leaves your face feeling soft and supple, without being greasy and heavy. I use this in combination with the CeraVe cleanser. It has really reduced the severity of my rosacea to a more manageable level, and all the peeling and flaking I had been experiencing is gone. The only gripe I have is that it comes in a jar, rather than pump.

CyraVe moisturizing creme
 

The best for rosacea
I've tried a lot of different moisturizers, some recommended by cosmeticscop.com and some from makeupalley.com. By far and large, the only thing that has been effective at repairing the alligator dry skin from rosacea across my cheeks has been CeraVe moisturizing creme. The lotion is good, but it doesn't do as good of a job as the cream. I use this twice daily now, not just Winter. It doesn't clog my very acne prone skin. It just feels good. And my rosacea flareups are at a bare minimum now. I also avoid mostly my few trigger foods and keep a humidifier on in the winter. Mild rosacea. Was beginning to form pustules but now all gone.

characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea

Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea

Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea
characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids, recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.


Rosacea Stages
Pre-Rosacea
the first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.
Mild Rosacea
begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time - usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat, cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.
Moderate Rosacea
as facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where flushing is worst.
Severe Rosacaea
characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
