At Sunset Skin, we believe skincare should empower you—especially when navigating conditions like rosacea. April is Rosacea Awareness Month, and we’re using this time to share knowledge, support, and spotlight products that truly make a difference.
Rosacea affects over 16 million Americans, and while it can be challenging, it’s 100% manageable with the right approach. Whether you deal with chronic redness, flushing, or sensitivity, calming and protecting your skin barrier is key—and it all starts with consistency.
🔑 The Rosacea Care Trifecta at Sunset Skin:
To help you soothe flare-ups, defend your skin, and keep hydration locked in, we’re highlighting three hero products we love (and use ourselves):
1. Hydrinity Restorative HA Serum
Why it’s a game-changer: When your skin is inflamed or sensitized, dehydration makes everything worse. Hydrinity’s Restorative HA Serum is a deeply replenishing, medical-grade hyaluronic acid complex that binds water to the skin and supports healing—without clogging or irritating.
✔️ Instant hydration without heaviness✔️ Boosts skin barrier repair✔️ Safe for ultra-sensitive and post-treatment skin
Pro tip: Layer this first after cleansing, morning and night, for plump, calm, and resilient skin.
2. Colorescience Mineral Sunscreen: Your Daily Defense
Why it’s a must: Rosacea-prone skin is highly sensitive to UV exposure, one of the most common triggers for flare-ups. That’s why a 100% mineral-based sunscreen is essential—no exceptions. Chemical sunscreens can generate heat and irritation, but Colorescience offers broad-spectrum mineral protection that’s gentle, effective, and designed for sensitive skin.
✔️ Powered by zinc oxide and titanium dioxide✔️ Won’t clog pores or cause flare-ups✔️ Provides immediate protection—no wait time✔️ Lightweight and easy to wear under makeup
Whether you go with their Classic Face Shield, the Glow version, or their Flex SPF with color-adaptive tint, you’re protecting your skin with ingredients it can actually tolerate.
Pro tip: Keep one in your bag, car, and skincare lineup—sun protection isn’t just a beach-day thing, especially if you have rosacea.
3. Colorescience All Calm Clinical Redness Corrector SPF 50
Why we love it: This multitasking powerhouse checks all the boxes: skincare, SPF, and a green-tinted color corrector to neutralize redness instantly. It’s great under makeup—or as a makeup replacement on days you want your skin to breathe.
✔️ Broad-spectrum SPF 50✔️ Calms and conceals redness✔️ Fortifies skin over time with niacinamide, peptides & antioxidants
We call it a rosacea superhero in a bottle—and our clients agree.
