Abstract
Rosacea patients form a subset of sensitive skin, making the selection of skin care products and cosmetics problematic. Ingredients that typically cause no difficulty in the average patient can cause severe stinging and burning in the rosacea patient. Sometimes the adverse reaction can be invisible; more typically, it is characterized by the rapid onset of facial flushing. For this reason, developing a methodology for product recommendations in the rosacea patient becomes important. This chapter will discuss a rationale for the selection of cleansers, moisturizers, cosmeceuticals, and facial cosmetics in the rosacea patient.
