Avoid chocolate, spicy food and alcohol? what I'm supposed to do with my life then? 😂😂

Skin flushing definitely affects my self esteem. Feel much better about myself on good skin days

Eczema nexxxxt pleaseee. Products that is good for eczema prone skin, with hand eczema in mind too.

I have rosacea without breakouts but have the flushing, stinging cheeks, broken blood vessels. Interestingly the biggest trigger of mine seems to be fluorescent lights (which all my doctors find bizarre) and also going from cold outdoors to heat indoors. Chocolate, spicy food and heat don't affect me, but alcohol can

I love how life just goes on behind you in your videos with your husband and children. 😄💯 No pretension here, just real life. Great video as usual, Doc! ❤️

In science class I had a flare up and this girl sitting across from me screamed very loudly “what’s wrong with your face”. The class was quite small so EVERYONE stopped and stared at me. I was so embarrassed

Please psoriasis (including severe psoriasis) next! It's so hard to find something that works!

I have rosacea too! It’s hard to find products or professionals talking about rosacea as much as they do something like acne. I have combination skin too which makes it even harder as most rosacea products are geared towards dry skin. Thank you for this video!

I would love for you to reference the skin types (skin colors) in more videos, and do a dedicated video for people of color. For example, I’ve heard that hydroquinone isn’t well tolerated by POCs, and there are a ton of mineral SPFs that leave a white cast on my skin. Would love your expertise navigating skincare for different skin colors!

Yes! Can’t wait for the laser treatment for Rosacea video! Love all your videos! So informative! I learn so much from you! Thank you.

Yes, lasers next please: I've had rosacea all my life (especially on my cheeks). I remember in school people would ask if I was wearing blush!!! Anyway, regular sessions of IPL over the past years have helped keep it in check, and I only get flare ups very occasionally now. Big no nos are: staying in the sun (I can't stand it though), overheated rooms, wearing a face mask in the heat, and wind burn (I ski with a face cover whatever the temperature is).... It's high maintenance but you gotta do what you gotta do. I remember some of my past flare ups intensely, they sting for days, and I would get pangs of anxiety from it, which made it worse ofc.... Strangely Paulas Choice BHA lotion has been a lifesaver....

Thank you for speaking on the psychological effects this condition has

Thank you for a video like this . People with skin issues like this really need videos to help them .

I just wanted to thank you for these videos! I have been working on my skin since middle school with no luck, but after I had a severe allergic response to a beauty product I ditched out my whole routine and started over. Your videos have been the only skincare videos that have made the most difference in how my skin looks! I also appreciate that while you value science and facts, you also have fun with your skincare, too. ❤️

THIS OUTFIT IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I don’t have rosacea but I still found this so informative!! Great video as ALWAYS ❤️❤️

Hyram’s Green Tea and Centella face wash is the only cleanser I can use with my Rosacea. Highly recommend!

Good morning Dr Idriss! ☀️💛Thanks for addressing this. I will have to forward this to my friend who suffers from this.

THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO IVE WATCHED WITH THE ADS ON!!! WANNA GIVE U THAT $ FOR COVERING THIS TOPIC FINALLY!!!!

OMG the video I've been waiting for, tysm for talking about rosacea 🙏

I have noticed a lot of improvement using a simple routine of La Roche Posay Toleriane cleanser, Rosaliac serum, and the Ordinary’s azelaic acid to keep my rosacea calm. Agreed that azelaic acid is an awesome ingredient! Would also love to see a rosacea / laser video... I’ve been considering doing v-beam. Thank you for the great content per usual:)

Thanks so much for the product recommendations! Rosacea is such a tricky thing to get a handle on and many dermatologists haven't been helpful in recommending things that work. Honestly, I've found that what I eat and my stress level has a huge effect on my rosacea.

Hi Dr. idriss thank you for all the information you selflessly share on the internet ❤️ from Philippines!!

This is what I've been waiting for 🙌🏻 !!! Thank you so much Dr. Idriss 💖 !!

I find licorice root extract to be very helpful for my redness. I use Paula’s choice calm line (especially the serum) in addition to the azelaic acid at night and Eucerin’s redness relief night cream that also contains licorice root extract. Paula’s choice antioxidant pore purifier serum I believe also contains an azelaic acid dervivative. It works much more slowly than Vitamin C serums but is less irritating to me-I do find the general improvement in tone with Vitamin C also helps.

Thank you for the over the counter product suggestions. I am 55 and have recently started having rosacea flare ups after my skin barrier was damaged during a treatment. I discovered dairy is my trigger so I limit how much I have. I like Dermalogica’s Ultracalming products - They really helped to calm my flareups. I also started at home red light therapy and that I think has made a big difference as well.

Very informative video! Finally someone to talk about this problem with so much details! Thank you, Dr. Idriss! Great recommendations!

Yessss 🙌🏽 This is the video I’ve been waiting for!

Scrolling and seen the title gasped and hit play. Thank you so much for this mine just numbs my face when it gets too out of hand and everyone thinks I am embarrassed so going to try these out.

You’re my favorite derm on KZfaq and I am so thankful of you for doing this video. I feel like there’s no products that work for me and don’t irritate my skin

Thank you so much Dr. Shereene ♥️ Can’t wait to translate this helpful info and otc recs for my auntie! Would love a curly hair care video 🧑🏽‍🦱👩🏽‍🦱👨🏽‍🦱 Loved the personal hair routine vid you shared before! ☺️

honestly one of the best videos ive seen so far, i have rosacea type 2 so im often red and also have acne time to time. so tired of looking for solution, ive tried almost everything and nothing helps to be honest, but your explanation of each type of product is very good and helpful, thank you

I love your outfit! You're glowing

Thank you for given non medicine tips to treat rosacea. You are awesome! Your content is very helpful.

If someone is looking for a azelaic acid product recommendation, I personally recommend the serum by Facetheory. I've started using it for a few weeks and I can tell that my skin gets less flushed. Btw, I don't have rosacea (or at least I've never been diagnosed), but my skin is quite reactive. Even just washing my face with lukewarm water will make my skin red.

Really enjoy your content - even when not personally affected. So educational in a fun way. Would like a video about skin barrier though - how to repair and to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Best to you! 🌸

Thank You for making this video! Avene has been great over the years for me. I also have Rosecea in my eyes they told me 😞. I have been dealing with this early 30’s. Gentle is always better for me personally. ❤️

I have been waiting for this video since forever.

Dairy product can be a trigger. Cows milk and cheese for instance. Increase of omega 3 will decrease inflamation and ik can help to calm down Rosasea. I know this from experience. You need to try it for two months at least if it helps to calm down your skin. Of course this comes along with proper skin care.

Definitely need this! Thanks for covering it!

Thank you for being so informative direct thorough and detailed specially coming from experience and seeing how lovely and supple your skin looks it gives me Hope as I am a bit at a loss and working on the feeling of discouragement as I know it is personal and simply will be a journey to discover what will work for me in the long run .. but at least it gives me somewhere to start with my rosacea, it's been pretty stubborn and I always feel self conscious whenever I'm out in public specially once I have to interact with someone it is something that truly bothers me but trying to educate myself with informative videos such as yours and I am very grateful and appreciative with any info you share in regards, thank you for it.

I was using PC’s 10% booster and liked it but just started using FaceTheory also 10%, more of a serum and love it! Both have helped my overall rosacea

Thank you! Just recently diagnosed so this is very timely for me. Also, I want to take a moment to appreciate your neon outfit. I love it.

Side note: I love your jacket/shirt combo!. Your open discussion of this topic is very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing these more accessible options for self treatment. My derm prescribed me Metrogel, as well as a course of oral antibiotics for a particularly bad flare up of rosacea. After that, I found good success and stability with a very gentle cleanser, and Dr. Jart's Cicapair cream. In my case, I've found that sun exposure also def does not help, so a good, mineral sunscreen is also essential. Born and raised in New Zealand, and being of English and Irish ancestry, I remember vividly several of my great aunts suffering greatly from this, in a generation where such topics were not that widely discussed, nor recognized. There also just weren't that many products available, because of geography and technology. However, they all maintained very simple skincare and makeup routines, which I think helped them to be able to better cope with their condition. They also gave sunscreen to me for birthdays and holidays, which, in hindsight, probably saved my skin, to a large degree.

I *completely* understand why someone wouldn’t want to support Naturium or Susan Yara, but there’s no denying their azelaic acid serum and emulsion are cosmetically elegant and effective. They’re readily available to me and they don’t pill. I would highly recommend them. ALSO, I find keeping cold water with ice in my mouth helps to calm the heat on my face. I also keep a rechargeable, portable handheld fan in case I start to feel flushed.

This was excellent! My suggestions for future topics: otc products for severely oily skin. Also snail mucin, what did it really do?

i have rosacea as well and i really appriciate the video!!! it took me a long time to figure out triggers

Thank you, ...as a sufferer of rosacea this was very helpful. I will be buying the products you showed because I am so tired of walking around with pink cheeks! I appreciate that you also mentioned the mental effects. You try to suppress the redness when you feel it coming on and it just makes things worse....then you get those people who love to point it out to you !!!! I would love to know who to get the skin mantle healthy to "heal" this instead of dealing with the symptoms .Have also developed S.D. which is what is causing the flaking ......crazy, because I never skip my cleansing at night.

Yaaay new Shereene video :D Can't wait for the release of your products 😃😃😃😃😃

I actually have these broken veins near my eyes, and cheeks. And I also experienced flaking on my eyebrows like last year which lasted a week. That made me feel down tbh! Thanks for the Nizoral recommendation. I'll use that one since for some reason, any anti-dandruff shampoo won't work on me. Love you as always ♡♡♡

Thank you for this video! I have rosecea for 5 years. My triggers are alcohol spicy food abs heat. It has gotten worse since i work with a mask. Your videos have helped me to find a routine that works for my rosecea.

Hi, I wanted to thank you for this video. It has drastically changed my skin. Over the last two months I have started using the Avene cleanser and Dr Jart serum. My Rosacea has decreased markedly and I have an easier time getting flare ups under control more quickly! My skin looks healthier and I am more confident in how I look! 💕

Thank you so much! Ive been waiting for this video since forever! 💗💗💗

yes! i have been waiting for you to cover this topic, i have been experiencing some flare ups because of the hot weather. thank you so much!

Yes! Please do a dedicated video on laser treatments and cosmetic treatments.

Thanks for addressing this finally!! 💖🥰

Another superb video from a true bright light...and that's you! I have concluded that Rosacea has a variety of causes, but the common thread is systemic inflammation. For me, I developed rosacea immediately following a course of Cipro antibiotics and an acutely stressful chapter in life. Here I am 14 years later finally sorting out the gut dysbiosis that ensued from that and other eras since then. Quite simply, a lack of beneficial bacteria in the gut results in an overgrowth of non-beneficial bacteria, such an e-coli. The good news is that this is a relatively easy fix. And I cannot stress enough the importance of a healthy diet, as that dramatically reduces the severity of rosacea. That's my nerd snippet. Thank you for fighting the good fight and being a physician for the people!

I am 43yold with rosacea type 2 developed when I turned 40. I have not had a flare up in two years. My triggers for flare ups are: tomatoes, spinach, pepper(chile), hot and humid weather, alcohol, uv rays of course . But the worst is hot pepper and I am Mexican 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you for all the tips you give, I have been following you for two years on Instagram And your advice have work wonders. I do visit my local Derma but I have added to my routine some things you have mentioned and my skin looks wonderful. Merci bcp

Thank you very much for the themes every week, very enlightening. Can we have a video on eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis; the differences, triggers/causes; and recommendations for a treatment? I suddenly developed eczema and unfortunately in the visible zone (neck). Having hard time because it comes and goes with the changing weather and it's quite unpleasant and itchy. Thank you!

I just randomly found you and luv this! Very helpful knowledge/super cool energy ✨ Thanksies

I have mild rosacea, dry skin and melasma and I’m not sure what type of laser would be good for me. I’ve heard of Lumecca, Lumenis, Fraxel… ugh no idea! 😔 So excited for that video! 😍

Eczema next please! This video on rosacea was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!!

My rosacea skin loves sun 🤷🏻‍♀️ .. it effects my mood positively. But stress, hormonal imbalance and mites are a no no for me 😕 Thank you for this vid 🥰

I would love to see how to use all the products in a routine for rosacea please!

Thank you! I've been waiting for this kind of video... The main reason I wear makeup so often is because of my rosacea.

Ohhh thank you! That was the topic I needed the most!

Dr. Idriss, I would love it if you could do a video all about body care. I've always been so curious about what a proper body care routine would look like because obviously, our bodies can handle a little more than our faces can. However, I'm sure there are still some mistakes we are all making when it comes to taking care of the skin on our bodies. Especially when it comes to shaving and dealing with things like ingrown hairs or razor burn.

Please talk about face eczema that causes the tingling, stinging and itching. Also causes weird leathery texture skin. 🙏🏼

My biggest trigger is high humidity, and when it's combined with a higher temperature, it's a guarantee for a bad flare up. I'm lucky enough not to be affected by spicy food though :)

My Rosacea can really be sometimes a little bothersome and this is so helpful, Dr. Shereene! Maraming salamat and much love from the Philippines! ❤❤❤

I am looking forward to your video regarding laser treatments for rosacea. Thanks!

You are my favorite dermatologist😊♥️

Yay thank you so much - I would love to learn more about laser or other procedures to help with Rosacea. Please could you also do a video on your top dermatologist procedures for the different skin types or age brackets to help combat lines and wrinkles, increase elasticity etc. Which are good to start in your 20s vs must haves in your 50?

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this video!!!!!

Yesss please do a Video about Laser Treatments! What do you think about co2 Laser Treatments ?

Thank you! Don't forget about laser tx follow up video!

I've been looking forward to a rosacea vid from you 🤗Thank you! I started to get rosacea this past year and have felt gutted by the change in my skin tone. Wearing masks tends to aggravate it. My derm recommended Bioderma Sensitive micellar water wash + Bioderma mousse for double cleanse days; Neostrata Restore serum, which I LOVE but can't stand the pilling, plus Rosacure w/30SPF for day and Rosacure Fast for the night (I'm based in EU so not sure if that's a common brand for N.Americans?). If anything, it's simplified my skincare routine 🙃

Patiently waiting for the laser one! Updated my skincare after watching this hoping it helps 😊

Looking forward to the laser for rosacea video!!! Thank you 🙏

Hi Dr Shereene I developed rosacea during perimenopause and had some real difficulties with it initially. I've never had the pimples, but I did notice textural changes to the nose and cheeks (bumpy textured skin). Azelaic acid and centella are both staples for me, but retinoids really helped with the textural changes. I worked up to alternating evenings of tretinoin and azelaic acid, which kept it under control for a couple of years. Last year the flares worsened (stress lol) and I had to put the tretinoin aside and go down to a retinaldehyde. My skin has calmed down a lot and I'm going back onto tretinoin in September. I'm Scottish with fitzpatrick one skin, my mum has rosacea and I'm a fairly classic case. I had to remove all fragrance from my skincare, as my skin will not tolerate it at all - even in a cleanser. I also occasionally get eye infections/irritation and use drops as required. The damaged blood vessels are an issue, even when the rosacea itself is very calmed down. I use green colour correctors under makeup to disguise them, as I can't afford laser. Here in the UK it's VERY expensive. My best advice is to keep skincare simple whilst in the throes of a flare, as the stinging from skincare can be very unpleasant. Simple aqueous cream in a thick layer can be used as a gentle cleanse (when even your normal gentle cleanser stings), a gentle moisturiser and a gentle mineral spf - that's it. Once the skin calms down I go back to my treatments and normal skincare. I don't consume alcohol (due to meds for my severe arthritis), I don't eat spicy foods, I never sunbathe and the only trigger mentioned I indulge in a bit of chocolate occasionally. Life has to be lived though and a bit of chocolate is one of life's little pleasures I'm not ready to give up. Best wishes.

Hallo Dr. Idriss:) Im in Germany and here is so difficult to get an appointment with a Dermatolog so I’m sooooooo happy finding you!!!Could you pleaseeeee make a video about eczema!!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻💖 Sending you love from Germany 🥰

نورتي صباحي! The vibrant colors you’re wearing are brightening my day

Im mexican with skin type 3 recently diagnosed with rosacea and my child is type 1 and his rosacea is terrible with this tender age. Thank you for bringing awareness to this topic and how to manage.

Thank you Shereene for your video about Rosacea. I was recently diagnosed by my dermatologist that I have a very mild case of Rosacea. One product that my doctor recommended and I really like is Epionce Renewal Lite skin lotion. I have minimized the products I use and thank goodness it seems to be working. I too would enjoy a video about how a laser treatment for Rosacea. Happy holidays to you and your family.

I was waiting so patiently for you to make a Rosacea Video ! Thank you and keep us posted on anything that can help it ! It’s really needed 👍😃Love your videos !

Love all the info on this subject.

Excellent! Really needed this!!

I have been using Klaron for years. It is a prescribed lotion, but it keeps bumps under control very well. And - yes please to a video about laser treatments and even ultrasound therapy! Please!

Dr Idriss! Thank you for an AMAZING video. Awesome content delivered in a calm manner. Keep up the good work! Dr Fakih

I would be interested to know more about microbiome and its effect on skin. Thank you. I like your cool approach :)

hello dear Dr Shereene Idriss, thank you very much for all the professional skincare educational videos! 👏 I come from Germany 🇩🇪 ♥️ and look forward to your new topic literally every weekend! ☺️ Could you make a video about large pores and blackheads? which products are really helpful and are expensive laser treatments or green peel worth the money? I am desperate because my blackheads mean that I cannot leave the house without make-up. I'm looking forward to the next format! ♥️

Omg I’m loving the pop of color!!!💕💕💕💕

Omg! this is way more real than any other video I have seen about rosacea. It really pissed me off that everyone keep saying avoid: heat, spicy food, alcohol, cold, stress, sun...literally avoid life. It is stressful and sad for people like us who have rosacea and no hope about it. Thank you for sharing! I´m a new subscriber

Finally I wait for this Video Thank u

Great video! How would you later Azelaic acid with Retinols in your nighttime routine? Alternate nights? Same night? Can’t wait to hear more about the laser treatments!!! Thanks! Love the content you keep bringing 🙏

Thanks Dr Shereen,this was so informative, and I have learnt a lot from you, best wishes 😊

I would love love love to see a video about the laser treatments for rosacea!!! The things dr Idriss mentioned are also high histamine/histamine inducing, and alcohol is a DAO inhibitor which means it inhibits the enzyme that breaks down histamine.. I have histamine (and salicylate) intolerance and understanding that and implementing the knowledge has changed my rosaceq prone skin among my Clinique face oil and CeraVe moisturizer..

Thank you so much for this one!!! My horrible rosacea has taken over and ruled my skin for years, nothing helps 😭😭😭

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the suggestion of Bioderma Cica and Arnica for Rosacea.I am amazed at the results I have gotten since starting this product.I do have centella Asiatia in many products for the rosacea but the Bioderma product has changed my face .WOW.I love the other products that I ordered from Bioderma for my daughter's KP as well.Thank you so much!

I’m sending this to my husband, thank you!
