This moisturiser is a game-changer for rosacea and dry skin
It ‘works quickly overnight to alleviate tightness and discomfort in the skin’
Rosacea is a more widespread skin condition than many people realise, and the most common symptoms are flushing skin, texture on the skin and irritation around the eyes. In some more severe cases, there might also be a thickening of the skin.
If you do have rosacea, a solid skincare routine is key to managing and soothing your symptoms and will normally include, a fragrance-free cleanser, hyaluronic acid serum, moisturiser and sun protection. At each step, look for calming and anti-inflammatory ingredients such as green tea and niacinamide.

If you have particularly dry skin and want to wear a thick moisturiser under your make-up, our reviewer said they found that it “created a hydrating base for make-up”.
“We found this to be especially great as an intensive treatment for particularly dry skin days,” explained our writer. The reason it’s so hydrating is thanks to Nad+ which helps to rebuild the skin barrier and squalane.
They added that the moisturiser “works quickly overnight to alleviate tightness and discomfort in the skin”. This sounds like a game-changer for anyone with rosacea who has particularly dry skin.
