FAQ
What are the best active ingredients for rosacea?
The most effective active ingredients for rosacea include:
Niacinamide: a multitasking anti-inflammatory that reduces redness, improves barrier function, and soothes irritation.
Azelaic acid (in low concentrations): helps reduce visible blood vessels and pustules while calming inflammation.
Panthenol (Provitamin B5): deeply hydrates and supports the skin’s natural repair processes.
Hyaluronic acid: provides intense hydration without clogging pores or irritating sensitive skin.
Rhododendron Ferrugineum extract: a senolytic botanical used in Nescens formulas to calm inflammatory processes at the cellular level.
Ceramides & bio-identical lipids: help restore the skin’s protective barrier, which is often weakened in rosacea sufferers.
These ingredients work best when formulated in fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and clinically tested products, like those in the Nescens range, to deliver real relief without triggering flare-ups.
What should I avoid if I have rosacea?
If you have rosacea, it’s essential to avoid ingredients and habits that can trigger inflammation, weaken the skin barrier, or increase vascular reactivity. Steer clear of:
Fragrances and essential oils, which often cause irritation and flare-ups.
Alcohol-based products, as they can dry out the skin and heighten sensitivity.
Harsh exfoliants and scrubs, which can damage the epidermis and worsen redness.
Hot water during cleansing, which dilates blood vessels and aggravates flushing.
Spicy foods, alcohol, and extreme temperatures, known to trigger rosacea episodes from the inside out.
Occlusive or heavy formulations that clog pores and trap heat.
