What is the best skincare routine for sensitive skin and rosacea?

Sensitive skin or rosacea requires a specific approach. Many products promise relief, but instead cause redness, irritation, or worsening of symptoms.

Prescription offers a personalized routine based on clinically proven ingredients and combined with gentle, plant-based base products. Our routines are also expert-approved by Dr. David Mosmuller, Dr. Tjinta Brinkhuizen, and skin therapist Sacha Sommers, among others.

Why is sensitive skin so vulnerable?

• Weakened skin barrier → the skin loses moisture faster
• Overreaction to stimuli → redness, burning sensation, itching
• Chronic inflammation (rosacea) → persistent redness, sometimes with bumps or pimples

Active ingredients

Mandelic Acid (AHA)
A gentle exfoliant that smooths the skin without irritation.

Niacinamide
Strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness and soothes.

Vitamin E (20% in the Recovery Oil)
Powerful antioxidant that helps with recovery and protection against free radicals.

Basic products

Aloe Vera Cleanser
Cleanses without stripping and has an instant calming effect.

Bisabolol Balm
Has anti-inflammatory properties and soothes sensitive skin.

SPF 50 Drops
Protect against UV, a major trigger for redness and rosacea.

Expert tips

• Dr. Mosmuller: “Consistency beats intensity: a calm, stable routine works best.”
• Dr. Brinkhuizen: “Choose antioxidants such as vitamin E to inhibit inflammatory processes.”
• Sacha Sommers: “Mild acids such as mandelic acid are often better tolerated than aggressive exfoliants.”

Common mistakes

• Using overly aggressive scrubs or peels
• Combining too many different products
• Skipping SPF, which can worsen redness and pigmentation
