Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a gentle and hydrating ingredient in skincare that can benefit people with rosacea.
HA is a humectant, meaning it draws water into the skin, For people with rosacea, this can provide relief from dryness and sensitivity caused by the skin’s impaired barrier function.
Here’s how HA can help: Hydration Without Irritation:
- HA helps replenish moisture levels without clogging pores or adding heavy oils, which is important for rosacea-prone skin.
- Improved Skin Barrier: Regular use of HA can help strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, reducing its susceptibility to irritation from environmental triggers.
- Soothing Effect: Hydrated skin tends to feel calmer and less inflamed, which may help minimize redness and sensitivity.
- Compatible with Other Treatments: HA is generally non-reactive, making it safe to use alongside prescription rosacea treatments like azelaic acid, metronidazole, or oral antibiotics.
