What ingredients to avoid if you have rosacea?

If you have rosacea, even “gentle” products can trigger redness, stinging, or breakouts. Avoiding certain ingredients is key to keeping your skin calm and balanced.

🚫 Avoid these triggers:

· Fragrance (even “natural” essential oils)

· Alcohol-based formulas

· Menthol or eucalyptus

· Harsh exfoliants (scrubs, high % acids)

· Heavy oils like coconut oil

✅ Look for:

· Fragrance-free, AIAB or COSMOS certified formulas

· Ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, aloe, and centella asiatica

Dr. Dermaluci Lab’s entire line is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and AIAB-certified, making it a safe bet for rosacea-prone skin. We recommend the Niacinamide + Zinc Serum and 5x Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C Serum for daily calm and repair.
