What's in the bottle
Real actives. Named, not hidden.
The Redness Control Formula Rx pairs two prescription actives with two supporting ingredients — built for visible daytime relief, with the barrier protection that holds it.
Active Ingredients
Niacinamide
THE BARRIER SUPPORT
A form of vitamin B3 that strengthens the skin barrier and reduces the appearance of visible redness, supporting a calmer, more even complexion.Supporting Ingredients
Centella Asiatica
THE CALMER
A clinically studied botanical that soothes irritation and supports recovery. Used in dermatology for decades — the quiet ingredient that keeps the strong ones comfortable.Ceramides
THE BARRIER REPAIR
Lipids that reinforce the skin barrier and lock in moisture, protecting reactive skin against the environmental triggers — heat, sun, wind — that intensify rosacea.
Exact concentrations are determined by a board-certified dermatologist on our care team based on your assessment, your tolerance, and your skin's history. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
What to expect
Same-day visible relief, designed to layer with your treatment.
The Redness Control Formula Rx is designed around the visible appearance of redness — the symptom — while your ongoing rosacea formula supports the broader skin pattern.
Oxymetazoline works on the blood vessels in your skin to reduce flushing and visible redness within hours, with the effect lasting through most of the day — with niacinamide, Centella asiatica, and ceramides supporting the barrier and reducing reactivity to the environmental triggers (heat, sun, wind) that intensify rosacea.
- Visibly reduces facial redness within hours of application
- Reduces flushing and vascular redness through the day
- Layers with ongoing rosacea treatments without interference
- Supports the skin barrier against environmental triggers
- Focuses on visible redness and flushing, not deeper flare support
Built for the woman who needs
her face to calm down — today.
The Redness Control Formula Rx is the rare prescription that works visibly in hours, not weeks. Oxymetazoline acts directly on blood vessels to reduce visible redness and flushing on the days you can't afford to look flared. It's designed to layer on top of your underlying rosacea treatment — not replace it. Think of it as daytime symptom control while your root-cause treatment does its slow work.

What our patients are saying.
I put it on the morning of my sister's wedding and the redness was visibly down before the photos. I've never had anything work that fast. Now it's part of my routine every single morning.
Nicole P.
My nightly formula is doing the slow work, but this is what gets me through the day. I apply it after cleansing, wait a bit, then makeup as usual. Meetings, photos, dinners — my face finally stays calm through all of it.
Amanda G.
I used to plan my week around how red my face was. Within an hour of applying, the flushing settles and holds through the afternoon. It sounds small, but not thinking about my skin all day is huge.

Realistic timeline
What you may see — fast.
Unlike most rosacea treatments, oxymetazoline works visibly the same day.
Here's what most patients experience.
Results vary. Timelines depend on your starting skin, your formula strength, and how consistently you apply your treatment.
Day 1
Initial application
Apply a thin layer in the morning. Visible redness reduction typically begins within 30 minutes to 3 hours and continues through the day. Some patients see fuller results across the first few days as they refine their application.Week 1
Refinement
You'll learn how much to apply, when in your morning routine, and how to layer with your other rosacea treatment. Your DermClick care team can adjust your protocol based on what you're seeing.Weeks 2–4
Steady control
Daily use produces consistent daytime redness control. The barrier-supporting ingredients — niacinamide, ceramides, Centella asiatica — also contribute to lower baseline reactivity over time.Ongoing
Long-term use
Oxymetazoline is designed for ongoing daily use as long as a board-certified dermatologist on your care team confirms it remains appropriate. Pair it with your underlying treatment and SPF, and your DermClick care team checks in to adjust as needed.Results vary. Timelines depend on your starting skin, your formula strength, and how consistently you apply your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the other rosacea formulas?
It's the only one that works visibly the same day. The Redness & Acne Formulaᴿˣ, The Advanced Redness Solutionᴿˣ, and The Clarifying Rosacea Formulaᴿˣ are built for ongoing rosacea-prone skin concerns — including papules, pustules, and acne-like breakouts. They work on a timeline of weeks. The Redness Control Formulaᴿˣ uses oxymetazoline to visibly reduce redness through vasoconstriction — it is designed around the appearance of redness, not deeper flare support. Most patients use it alongside an ongoing rosacea formula.
Can I use this alone, without another rosacea treatment?
Some patients do — particularly if their primary concern is visible flushing and vascular redness without significant papules, pustules, or breakouts. But for most rosacea-prone skin, the best results come from pairing The Redness Control Formulaᴿˣ with an ongoing formula selected for their broader skin pattern. A board-certified dermatologist on your care team will assess your case during the assessment and recommend whether to add another formula.
How fast does it actually work?
Most patients see visible redness reduction within 30 minutes to 3 hours of application. The peak effect typically lasts through most of the day. Some patients see fuller results across the first few days of use as they refine application amount and timing. Individual response varies — your DermClick care team can help you optimize your protocol if results aren't holding.
Are there cardiovascular risks I should know about?
Yes — oxymetazoline is a vasoconstrictor, and there are important considerations. It's not recommended for patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, severe hypertension, Raynaud's syndrome, or for those taking MAO inhibitors. A board-certified dermatologist on your care team will review your medical history during your assessment to confirm this is safe for you. Read the full Important Safety Information before starting treatment.
Can I wear makeup over it?
Yes. Apply The Redness Control Formulaᴿˣ to clean, dry skin in the morning, wait 15 to 20 minutes for it to absorb fully, then apply your moisturizer, SPF, and makeup as usual. Many patients find the formula creates a smoother base for makeup application because the skin underneath is visibly calmer.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant?
No. Oxymetazoline is not recommended during pregnancy or nursing. If you're pregnant, planning to be, or nursing, The Redness & Acne Formulaᴿˣ — built around azelaic acid — is the pregnancy-safe rosacea option in our lineup. If your pregnancy status changes during treatment, contact your DermClick care team immediately so your prescription can be adjusted.
The Redness Control Formula Rx is built for visible daytime relief. If you also need support for broader rosacea-prone skin concerns — papules, pustules, reactivity, or acne-like breakouts — these are the formulas that pair most naturally with it.
