Case Study: Rosacea-Prone Skin (45+)

Rosacea-Prone Skin with Capillary Fragility, Severe Dehydration & Oil-Dry Imbalance

The skin showed constant redness, frequent flushing, and visible capillaries, alongside severe dehydration. Although the skin felt oily in areas, it was tight, reactive, and easily irritated — making most anti-ageing products difficult to tolerate.

Before

Our Approach:

The goal was to reduce redness, support fragile capillaries, and rebuild the skin barrier before introducing any corrective actives.

 

Our Focus:

  • Gentle cleansing to remove impurities without stripping or triggering redness

  • Frequent hydration to cool the skin, reduce tightness, and support barrier repair

  • Vitamin C antioxidants to strengthen capillaries and protect against inflammation

  • Targeted collagen support applied only where needed to avoid overstimulation

  • Carefully managed night renewal introduced gradually to support ageing skin without irritation

  • Calming moisturisation to maintain comfort and reduce sensitivity throughout the day.

Homecare Strategy

Clients followed a gentle but targeted routine to stabilise the skin:

Morning

  • dOre Micellar Water Cleanser – Gently cleanses without friction or foaming to avoid redness and flushing.

  • dOre Hydrating Vitamin Mist – Calms heat, hydrates deeply, and improves skin comfort.

  • dOre Triple C Serum – Strengthens fragile capillaries and protects against oxidative stress.

  • dOre Collastin + C Booster – Supports collagen and improves skin resilience.

  • dOre Calm Skin Moisturiser – Soothes inflammation and maintains barrier stability.

  • dOre Eye Complex C Cream – Hydrates and supports collagen around the eyes.

Evening

  • dOre Bi-Phase Oil Cleanser – Removes sunscreen and impurities while preserving barrier lipids.

  • dOre Hydrating Vitamin Mist – Reduces tightness and supports overnight repair.

  • dOre Triple C Serum + Collastin + C Booster – Maintains antioxidant and collagen support.

  • dOre Retin A (PM only) – Introduced gradually to support renewal without triggering flare-ups.

  • dOre Wrinkle Fix – Targeted application on deeper lines only.

Weekly

  • dOre Skin Polish (max 2× weekly) – Used sparingly to refine skin without stressing fragile capillaries.

Results (12 Weeks)

We focused on calming, strengthening, and rehydrating the skin first, both in-clinic and at home.

 

Clinic treatments were designed to soothe inflammation and reinforce hydration.

 

Homecare was essential to keep the skin calm daily and prevent flare-ups between treatments.

The consistent home routine allowed the skin to stay calm, hydrated, and resilient between clinic visits.

 

The result is:

  • Noticeably less redness and flushing

  • Improved hydration and lasting skin comfort

  • Stronger tolerance to active products

  • More even tone and improved skin elasticity

  • Softer lines without triggering sensitivity

Key takeaway:
For rosacea-prone skin, results don’t come from treatments alone. Daily homecare is what stabilises the skin, protects clinic results, and allows real correction to happen safely.
