Liquorice (Licorice)
This is used as an ingredient in skin creams and it’s reported that a study using 62 patients with mild to moderate facial redness showed a significant improvement at the four and eight week assessments.
This study was presented to an American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) meeting. The patients used invite care routine which consisted of a cleanser, a day lotion with sunscreen and green pigments, a spot concealer with green pigments, and a night cream, all formulated with licochalcone A, which is a liquorice extract and also an anti malarial agent. It’s been shown to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines, eicosanoids, and reactive oxygen species inhumane skin cells (related to sun damage of skin, photoaging etc).
It was concluded that the skincare routine could be used by rosacea sufferers with sensitive facial skin and persistent facial redness. It was also found that the pigmented products (containing liquorice) had very good redness-neutralizing properties and reduced erythema extra time.

Abstracts sometimes don’t include all the active ingredients.

Digestive Enzymes
Some people with rosacea are more expected to have indigestion, especially after eating fatty foods. One study found a deficiency of the pancreatic enzyme lipase, which helps digest fat. When rosacea patients inclined pancreatic enzyme supplements with their meals, symptoms of indigestion and rosacea both improved.
Apple cider vinegar taken orally is used as a home remedy for rosacea and is thought to stimulate the release of digestive enzymes and help correct the bacterial balance in the intestines. Consult a doctor before trying apple cider vinegar or similar ‘home remedies, it’s available in liquid and tablet form and there have been reports linking use of the tablets with permanent esophageal injury, typically when they’ve become enclosed the throat.
B-complex vitamin*
Use caution if taking vitamin B as there are reports that rosacea can actually be caused by high doses of this vitamin, e.g. ‘A 17-year-old girl suddenly developed rosacea fulminans. She had begun taking vitamin B supplements 2 weeks before the onset. Her daily intake of vitamin B6 was 4000% and vitamin B12 was 2000% of the recommended daily allowance; and ‘an eruption resembling acne rosacea that was temporarily associated with daily ingestion of high-dose B vitamin.
A lack of riboflavin caused by a bad diet may be associated with rosacea. There’s evidence that rosacea patients have a higher concentration of microscopic skin mites on their face, and this may allow bacteria to thrive. It appears that the mites are unable to thrive on a person who’s a high intake of riboflavin.
This doesn’t mean that a person who’s rosacea should have a high intake of riboflavin, as everyone has these mites; a person with rosacea should be sure that they’ve the recommended daily intake. They can then carefully take a vitamin supplement as recommended by a chemist or doctor. Don’t take a high dose, consult your doctor.
Oatmeal

It’s a is a potent antipruritic (preventing or relieving itching) and this is helped because it’s moisturising properties that help dry skin. It also works as invite protectant providing a protective barrier, while proteins buffer both acids and bases.
