The dermatologist reviewing your case makes the final call from your photos and history. The broad pattern they look at is:
- If your rosacea is mild to moderate and your skin is sensitive. A balanced-strength formula is usually the starting point. The Redness & Acne Formula ($79/month) is designed for this.
- If your rosacea has not responded to other treatments, flares often, or is persistent or severe. The Advanced Redness Solution ($89/month) is the stronger prescription-level option.
- If your primary concern is visible facial redness and flushing during the day, not inflammatory papules. The Redness Control Formula ($79/month) targets the appearance of vascular redness and can be layered with a treatment formula.
- If you have rosacea papules and pustules that look like acne breakouts, plus the underlying redness. The Clarifying Rosacea Formula ($79/month) is built for that overlap.
If you are uncertain, take the skin assessment — the dermatologist reviewing your case sees your photos and your history and chooses the formula that fits, not the formula you self-selected.
