Best Online Rosacea Treatments
Here are some top options to consider:
Telehealth/Prescription Services
- Curology – Highly recommended; dermatology providers create a custom formula that can include metronidazole or azelaic acid specifically for rosacea. Affordable monthly subscription.
- Hims/Hers – Offers online consultations and can prescribe topical metronidazole or ivermectin cream (Soolantra), which are gold-standard rosacea treatments.
- Apostrophe – Dermatologist-led platform that specializes in skin conditions including rosacea, with prescription options.
Over-the-Counter Products (Available Online)
- EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 – Dermatologist-favorite sunscreen that calms rosacea-prone skin
- La Roche-Posay Rosaliac AR – Specifically formulated to reduce redness
- Avène Antirougeurs – Gentle French pharmacy line designed for sensitive, rosacea-prone skin
Tips
- Prescription treatments (azelaic acid, metronidazole, brimonidine) are generally most effective
- A telehealth service like Curology or Apostrophe is worth it for moderate-to-severe cases
- Always use gentle, fragrance-free products and daily SPF
