The Picture of Rosacea And Dry Skin

Applying moisturizer to your face should not reduce the effectiveness of your topical medication if you are using the products in the right order. First, cleanse your face with a mild cleanser and air dry. Then, apply your topical medication and allow it to dry. After that, you should be able to follow up with any moisturizer or make-up products without interfering with your medical therapy.

Many rosacea patients complain of dry skin. Check with your physician to be sure that you are using the right topical formulation for your skin type. Gel formulations may be best for normal to oily skin, while lotion and cream formulations may be preferable for dry skin. Some physicians prefer that patients do not use a moisturizer, so check with your doctor.
