Ingredients to avoid if you have Rosacea

I’ve written about Rosacea plenty of times – ingredients to avoid, the effects of diet, environmental triggers etc.

But the message is far more interesting coming from Rosacea sufferers themselves.

According to the National Rosacea Society, 41% of 1,066 patients surveyed said that certain skincare products aggravated their condition.

Here are the top 6 skincare ingredients to avoid based on their reactions:

1. 66% said Alcohol

2. 30% said Witch Hazel

3. 30% said Fragrance

4. 21% said Menthol

5. 14% said Peppermint

6. 13% said Eucalyptus

Do you agree? Have you ever experienced a Rosacea or redness flare after using products containing any of these ingredients?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
