An estimated 16 Million Americans suffer from rosacea, and about 24% of them say that persistent facial redness was their first symptom. The redness is caused by dilated blood vessels, and while it varies day to day, it can be a bit hard to deal with. Usually, this results in covering it up with makeup, 77% of those with rosacea wear makeup compared to 53% of everyone else.
Mirvaso® (brimonidine) topical gel, 0.33%*, a prescription drug that treats the persistent facial redness of rosacea, has created a website with information about rosacea with great skincare tips from NYC dermatologist Dr. Doris Day. I found her tips to be very helpful; she recommends specific ingredients to look for in your skincare products.
