The clinical team

Designed by three board-certified dermatologists.

The medicine behind your prescription is built by the doctors you already follow. The Redness Control 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 costs them in every photo, meeting, and dinner. 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.

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.

Ideal for you if you're

  • Noticing visible facial redness that shows up in every photo and meeting

  • Experiencing flushing or vascular redness that worsens with heat, sun, or stress

  • Looking for a daytime formula to layer with an ongoing rosacea treatment

  • Needing same-day visible relief for events, meetings, or photos

  • Interested in targeted symptom control, as confirmed during your assessment

Consider a different fit if you're:

  • Pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive — oxymetazoline is not recommended during pregnancy

  • Have a history of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, or Raynaud's syndrome

  • Taking MAO inhibitors or have taken them in the past 14 days

  • Looking for one formula for rosacea-prone redness with papules and pustules — The Advanced Redness Solutionᴿˣ is built for that

  • Only experiencing inflammatory papules or pustules without visible redness — The Clarifying Rosacea Formulaᴿˣ or The Redness & Acne Formulaᴿˣ may be the better fit

What to expect

Same-day visible relief, designed to layer with your treatment.

Applying redness control formula to rosacea-prone skin

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. Niacinamide, Centella asiatica, and ceramides support the barrier and reduce 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

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.

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.
