1. What is the difference between rosacea and facial redness?
Facial redness is a symptom, skin that looks red or flushed, and it can have many causes. Rosacea is a specific long-term condition where the redness is persistent and may come with bumps, visible blood vessels and sensitivity. Both can benefit from a gentle, barrier-supporting skincare routine.

2. Can rosacea be cured?
Rosacea cannot currently be cured, but its symptoms can usually be managed well with the right routine, by avoiding your triggers and, where appropriate, with medical treatment under the guidance of a GP or dermatologist. A gentle daily routine helps keep the skin calm day to day.

3. What skincare ingredients should I avoid with rosacea?
It is generally best to avoid heavily fragranced products, potentially irritating essential oils, high levels of alcohol, harsh physical scrubs and strong acid exfoliants, as these can trigger flare-ups. Choose fragrance-free, gentle, dermatologically tested products instead.

4. What is the best skincare routine for rosacea-prone skin?
A simple routine works best: a gentle cleanser, a barrier-supporting moisturiser and a mineral SPF every morning, followed by a nourishing moisturiser at night. The KALME routine is built around exactly these steps.

5. Can I wear make-up if I have rosacea or red skin?
Yes. Choose gentle, fragrance-free formulas made for sensitive skin. KALME Chameleon Concealer is colour-correcting and developed specifically for redness-prone, reactive skin. Apply after your moisturiser and SPF as the final step in your routine.

6. Does SPF help with rosacea and facial redness?
Yes. Sun is one of the most common triggers, so wearing SPF every day is one of the most important steps. A mineral (physical) SPF such as KALME Day Defence SPF30 is often better tolerated by reactive skin.

7. Why does my skin sting or burn when I use skincare?
Stinging can indicate that the skin barrier is weakened, or that a product contains ingredients your skin finds irritating, such as fragrance or alcohol. Switching to gentle, fragrance-free products and giving the barrier time to recover usually settles it.

8. How long does it take to see results?
Most people report that their skin feels calmer within a couple of weeks, with more even-looking skin over four to eight weeks of consistent use. Results vary from person to person.

9. Is KALME suitable for sensitive and reactive skin?
Yes. KALME is developed specifically for rosacea-prone, sensitive and reactive skin. It is fragrance-free, dermatologically tested, cruelty-free and made in Britain.

10. Can I use KALME alongside prescribed rosacea treatments?
Many customers do. If you are using a prescribed treatment, check with your GP or dermatologist before adding new products, and introduce one new product every few days so you can see how your skin responds.

11. Can stress make rosacea worse?
Yes. Stress is one of the most commonly reported triggers for rosacea flare-ups and facial redness. While it does not cause rosacea, it can make symptoms more noticeable. Managing stress alongside a gentle skincare routine and avoiding your personal triggers can help keep your skin looking calmer.
