Rosacea · Gentle Start
Your Gentle Daily Prescription for Redness, Breakouts, and Everything in Between.
If most acne treatments have made your redness worse — and most rosacea treatments have done nothing for the breakouts — this is the prescription built for exactly that overlap.
Built with azelaic acid for redness-prone skin with acne-like papules, glycolic acid to gently resurface congested skin without triggering reactivity, niacinamide to support the barrier and reduce visible redness, and Centella asiatica to soothe sensitivity throughout treatment. Gentle enough for skin that reacts to almost everything else — and pregnancy-safe, the rare combination in prescription skincare.

The clinical team
The Redness & Acne Formula Rx wasn't formulated by an algorithm or pulled from a generic template. Its protocol was designed by Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, Dr. Mamina Turegano, and Dr. Jenny Liu — three board-certified dermatologists with combined decades of clinical experience treating women whose rosacea has been mistaken for acne for years.
Your prescription is then written by a board-certified dermatologist on our clinical team, working from the protocol they built. Dermatologist-built medicine, delivered to your door.
The Redness & Acne Formula Rx is a gentle prescription for the rosacea-acne overlap — skin that's red, sensitive, and breaking out at the same time. Azelaic acid does both jobs at once, and it's gentle enough for skin that reacts to almost everything else. It's also pregnancy-safe, which makes it the rare prescription that can stay in the routine through pregnancy and nursing.

What to expect
The Redness & Acne Formula Rx works gradually, the way rosacea treatment is supposed to. Azelaic acid supports clearer-looking skin and acne-like papules that can come with rosacea. Glycolic acid resurfaces congested skin without the harshness of stronger acids. Niacinamide reduces visible redness and supports the barrier. Centella asiatica calms reactivity so your skin can tolerate treatment day after day.
I have had rosacea for years and finding a treatment that was gentle enough for my skin but actually worked felt impossible. DermClick's formula changed everything. My redness is calmer than it has ever been.
Emily R.
I used to avoid going out when my rosacea flared. DermClick made it easy: I got a dermatologist-designed plan that actually worked, without leaving home.
Lauren D.
DermClick changed everything. I did not realize how much rosacea had been holding me back until my skin calmed down.

Azelaic Acid
Glycolic Acid
NiacinamideYour formula is compounded by a licensed pharmacy and shipped to your door — usually within a week. Your dermatologist stays with you, adjusting your formula as your skin responds.
Both — specifically, the overlap. Azelaic acid is one of the few prescription actives commonly used for redness-prone skin with acne-like papules at the same time. If your skin is mostly red and flushing without breakouts, The Redness Control Formulaᴿˣ may be a better fit. If it's mostly acne without a rosacea component, The Acne Solutionᴿˣ may be cleaner. Take the assessment and a board-certified dermatologist on your care team will route you to the right one.
Azelaic acid is one of the few prescription rosacea and acne actives considered safe during pregnancy and nursing — it's commonly prescribed during pregnancy when retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and most other prescription treatments are off the table. That said, every pregnancy is different, and a board-certified dermatologist on your care team will confirm appropriateness based on your specific situation during the assessment.
If your rosacea is mild to moderate — ongoing redness, flushing, and acne-like papules, but not frequent severe flare-ups — this is built for you. If your rosacea is persistent, severe, or hasn't responded to standard treatment, a board-certified dermatologist on your care team may route you to The Advanced Redness Solutionᴿˣ, which uses ivermectin, metronidazole, and azelaic acid together for stronger control. Your assessment determines which tier fits.
Most of your routine can stay. Gentle cleansers, fragrance-free moisturizers, and broad-spectrum SPF all pair well with The Redness & Acne Formulaᴿˣ. What you should pause: topical retinoids, additional acids at high concentrations, benzoyl peroxide, and any product that's been flaring your skin. A board-certified dermatologist on your care team will review your current products during your assessment and tell you exactly what to keep, drop, and add.
Most people start noticing a real shift between weeks 4 and 8 with consistent daily use. Weeks 1–2 are the adjustment period. Weeks 3–6, the acne-like papules slow down and the redness softens. Weeks 6–12, persistent redness looks meaningfully reduced and flares are less frequent. Rosacea treatment is steady, not dramatic — and consistency is what holds the results.
Rosacea triggers vary by person, but the common ones are: sun exposure, heat (hot showers, hot drinks, saunas), spicy food, alcohol (especially red wine), stress, and certain skincare ingredients (fragrance, alcohol-based toners, harsh exfoliants). A board-certified dermatologist on your care team can help you identify your specific triggers and build a routine around them. The medication does the medical work — trigger avoidance amplifies it.
The Redness & Acne Formula Rx is built for the overlap — ongoing redness with acne-like breakouts, treated gently enough for sensitive skin. If your rosacea skews more severe, or the symptom you most want to address is visible daytime flushing, there's a formula built for that too.
