What's in the Bundle
-
EltaMD Oil-In-Gel Cleanser — A low-lather, non-stripping formula that removes sunscreen, makeup, and impurities without triggering flushing or irritation. Use morning and evening.
-
EltaMD Skin Recovery Essence Toner — Calms and balances the skin post-cleanse without alcohol or acids. Supports the barrier before actives and SPF.
-
EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex — Ceramides, squalane, glycerin, and niacinamide work together to repair and maintain the skin barrier — essential preparation before introducing a retinoid.
-
Clinical Skin Retinol + AOX Renewal Cream — A gentle retinol enriched with antioxidants to support skin renewal, reduce redness, and improve skin texture over time. Formulated to minimise irritation on sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.
-
EltaMD PM Restore Moisturiser — A peptide-rich overnight moisturiser that supports skin recovery and renewal. Layer over the retinol for added comfort and hydration.
-
EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 (Non-Tinted) — Mineral zinc oxide SPF with niacinamide. Daily sun protection is non-negotiable when using a retinoid — UV exposure accelerates sensitivity and can trigger rosacea flares.
Your Routine at a Glance
Morning: Cleanser → Toner → Barrier Renewal Complex → UV Clear SPF 46
Evening: Cleanser (x2) → Toner → Retinol + AOX Renewal Cream → PM Restore Moisturiser
Introducing Retinol with Rosacea
Retinoids are one of the most effective ingredients for skin renewal, but they require careful introduction on rosacea-prone skin. The key is a well-supported skin barrier before you begin.
Start by using the retinol 2–3 nights per week, applying it after the toner and before the PM Restore Moisturiser. Increase frequency gradually as your skin adjusts. If you experience increased redness or sensitivity, reduce frequency and focus on barrier repair until the skin settles.
If you are unsure whether retinol is appropriate for your rosacea subtype, a consultation with one of our dermatologists is recommended before starting.
