Rosacea is a vascular, inflammatory skin disorder that affects approximately 5% of the population and is characterized by frequent periods of facial redness or flushing caused by over-active capillaries.

Rosacea is not sensitive skin.

Over time, this chronic state of skin inflammation gives rise to a variety of rosacea symptoms.

Physicians and professionals in the field of skin care are seeing rapidly increasing numbers of individuals affected by Rosacea as the "over 40" population continues to grow and as the distinction between Acne and Rosacea is clarified by an increasing number of specialists.

The number of younger people with rosacea is also growing.

Rosacea is gaining in general public awareness as evidenced by the designation of March as "National Rosacea Awareness Month".

Rosacea is an often baffling skin disease — difficult to treat and able to cause severe emotional distress due to the visibly deteriorating facial involvement.
