Rosacea Skin Care Advice by Dr. Obagi

The way in which Dr. Obagi treats rosacea is dependent upon the appearance of the skin and the stage of rosacea. For milder cases of rosacea, where there may only be mild inflammation and no acne-type lesions, Dr. Obagi may recommend the Obagi Rosaclear^® system. Increased sebum irritates the skin, causing inflammation and sensitivity.

Rosaclear^® System

This system contains 3 components, each of which are used AM and PM.

Sun protection must be added every AM. Any of Dr. Obagi^® Medical's sun protection products are appropriate for use with the Rosaclear^® system:

• Nu-Derm^® Healthy Skin 35 SPF OR
• Oclipse by ZO Skin Health™ OR
