What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a skin condition characterised by a reddening of the cheeks, nose, chin and/or forehead. It may also include the appearance of papules and pustules or acne-like pimples. While it is very common, affecting millions of people throughout the world, many of those with rosacea don’t even realise they have it.

Who gets rosacea?
For the most part, rosacea affects those with fair skin. While rosacea can affect both men and women, it’s nearly three times more common in women. Symptoms tend to appear around or after the age of 30.
How do I know if I have rosacea, and not just acne?
Self-diagnosing rosacea is not recommended since it shares some of the symptoms of other skin conditions. But if you are experiencing facial redness, flushing or acne-like pimples, a discussion with your clinician will help you establish whether or not you have rosacea, and how best to treat your condition.

How does the Rosaciear System work?
Obagi® Medical Products, the leading skincare company in the medical provider channel, now brings you an effective way to manage your rosacea. The prescription based Rosaclear System provides gentle skincare to calm your inflamed, irritated skin with a specially formulated treatment regimen, that is non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog your pores.

The Gentle Cleanser soothes your skin while helping to remove bacteria and other irritating residues.

The Metronidazole Topical Gel USP, 0.75% (prescription only and only available by visiting our clinic for a consultation) is indicated for topical application in the treatment of the inflammatory papules and pustules associated with rosacea.

The Hydrating Complexion Corrector protects and moisturizes your skin, while helping to reduce the appearance of redness by utilizing multiple calming agents and light-reflecting minerals.

The Rosaclear System also offers the Skin Balancing Sun Protection SPF 30, a specially formulated, chemical-free, tinted UVA/UVB sunscreen, which easily blends with your skin to help reduce the appearance of redness and blotchiness.

How is the Rosaclear System better than other treatments?
The Rosaclear System is the only complete system that incorporates a therapeutic prescription component, as well as products that effectively reduce and minimize the visible redness and blotchiness associated with rosacea. Calming agents, such as licorice, aloe, lavender and sea whip, are also used to soothe your skin, while light-reflecting minerals balance your complexion.

How do I get started with the Rosaclear System?
If you think you have rosacea, talk with our clinicians about the benefits of the Rosaclear System. Once you start using this complete therapeutic system, you’ll enjoy a clearer, calmer, more balanced-looking complexion.

If I have rosacea, how do I treat it?
Currently, there is no cure for rosacea. Although most existing therapies only provide temporary relief from the symptoms, Obagi Medical offers a more complete therapeutic treatment with the Rosaclear System. In just a few simple steps, it protects and moisturizes your skin, calms and soothes your symptoms, treats acne-like pimples and reduces the appearance of redness and blotchiness, leaving your complexion clearer, calmer and more balanced-looking.

The benefits of the Obagi Rosaclear System:

* The only complete therapeutic rosacea system
* Treats the symptoms while protecting your skin
* Reduces the appearance of redness and blotchiness
* Gentle, non-comedogenic formulations
* Easy to use

Our online special offer pack (with FREE bag) includes the Gentle Cleanser, the Hydrating Complexion Corrector and the Skin balancing sun protection which are essential to help with your rosacea. However if you feel your rosacea is severe, we would recommend visiting our clinic to get the Rosaclear System, including the prescription Metronidazole Topical Gel USP, 0.75%.
