On The Surface (What you see)
Rosacea, with its red-faced, acne-like appearance, is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition with signs and symptoms that include:
- Tendency to blush or flush easily
- Persistent facial redness
- Small visible blood vessels
- Bumps and pus-filled pimples on the face (inflammatory papules and pustules)
- Facial discomfort—burning or stinging sensation, tightness, dryness or itch
- Burning, itching, or watery eyes and/or swollen eyelids
- Thickening skin on the nose, cheeks and/or forehead
While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, researchers generally agree the process involves dilation of small blood vessels in the face.
And Beneath (How you feel)
With 16 million Americans affected, rosacea is a common condition. You're not alone.

Living with rosacea goes beyond the physical symptoms. Emotional discomfort is common, too. In a survey conducted by the National Rosacea Society* of more than 1,200 rosacea patients:
- 76% of patients surveyed said rosacea lowered their self-confidence
- 41% said it caused them to avoid public or social engagements
For some, the physical appearance of rosacea can cause significant
emotional impact.

In a patient experience program of 891 patients being treated with ORACEA®, average (or mean) confidence level of patients regarding their skin's appearance increased after one month of use.
