How To Get Rid of Rosacea
With so many potential triggers, it may seem like a daunting task even just to identify your rosacea triggers. And once you’ve identified your triggers, you’ll have to decide if (and how) to avoid them. Many patients feel that they have no other option but to give up their favorite foods or skip out on routine exercise for the sake of their flare-ups. Rather than let rosacea take over your life, dermatologists agree that with the right treatment plan, you can help keep it under control! In fact, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, some patients claim they’ve even seen complete clearing of redness lasting for years.
Regarding rosacea treatment, Dr. Brandon Kirsch stated, "There is no cure for rosacea. Fortunately, combination prescription therapies like The Red Set from Musely can offer effective treatment by simultaneously addressing different features of the condition." He continued, "In general, combination therapies are considered preferable to monotherapies for the treatment of rosacea."
The Red Set is a prescription rosacea treatment that includes The Rosacea Mask, a gentle cleansing mask and topical antibiotic, and The Rosacea Cream, a soothing topical cream, to reduce redness and acne-like bumps.
The Rosacea Mask is specially formulated with sulfur and sodium sulfacetamide to tackle harmful bacteria and reduce inflammation. The Rosacea Cream is formulated with ivermectin, metronidazole, azelaic acid, and niacinamide.
Dr. Brandon Kirsch explains the key ingredients in The Red Set and how they work below:
Metronidazole is an anti-parasitic and antibacterial agent that reduces skin inflammation and has antioxidant effects as well. The antioxidant activity is thought to reduce the signs of intrinsic and extrinsic aging, as well as to prevent and treat rosacea symptoms.
Ivermectin is understood to work in two ways. First, it has anti-inflammatory activity, and second it is an anti-parasitic agent, killing the demodex mites that have been implicated in rosacea.
Niacinamide demonstrates strong anti-inflammatory properties and helps reduce the redness seen in rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions. It is also believed to improve the barrier function of the skin, protecting the skin from environmental damage, which can worsen the appearance of rosacea.
Azelaic acid improves rosacea by decreasing swelling and redness. It further works by limiting the growth of skin bacteria, and by keeping skin pores clear (i.e. normalizing the keratin production process).
The Red Set is available in two different formulations to accommodate different skin types. Musely also offers The Rosacea Pill, an oral doxycycline medication, for more severe cases and flare-ups.
The Red Set from Musely allows you to get your rosacea under control and have more ability to focus on the things you love! Whether it’s spicy foods, outdoor exercise, or a hot cup of cider in the winter. Learn more about how to use The Red Set and what to expect throughout your journey!
