Sensitive skin, acne, or rosacea?

Is your skin red, reactive, and itching? Do you also get small pimples from time to time? Then you may start wondering what your skin concern really is. Is it sensitive or sensitized skin or do you have acne or rosacea? Actually, all these skin concerns are common and can be mistaken for each other, since they have similar symptoms. Finding out what skin concern you have is key to treating it properly.

Sensitive or sensitized skin
Sensitive skin is thinner, more fragile, drier, and more reactive to internal and external factors. Sensitized skin, is skin that temporarily behaves like sensitive skin and may result from an impaired skin barrier or an aggressive skincare routine. Both skin concerns will present as localized redness or a rash, with the difference that sensitized skin will be improved once it’s no longer exposed to whatever is affecting it.

Acne or rosacea
Both acne and rosacea can cause red skin with pimples, and usually, they go hand in hand. However, rosacea is a different skin condition that causes inflammation, pronounced burning, itching, and stinging. The sign distinguishing acne from rosacea is the presence of white or blackheads, called comedones. Though acne and rosacea can be present simultaneously, only acne is associated with comedones.

How to Soothe and Protect Sensitive, Acne-Prone, or Rosacea-Affected Skin
When dealing with sensitive skin, breakouts, or rosacea, a strong and healthy skin barrier is essential. Choosing gentle, protective skincare can help calm irritation and reduce flare-ups.

Unlike many heavy creams that clog pores, this lightweight mousse absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue—making it ideal for all skin types, especially those prone to sensitivity, acne, or rosacea.

And don’t forget sunscreen! Protecting your skin from UV damage is essential, especially for sensitive, acne-prone, or rosacea-affected skin. EVY’s sunscreens are designed to be extra gentle while providing long-lasting, high SPF protection.
