Rosacea & redness

Facial redness can have several causes. Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that can cause flushing, persistent redness and sensitivity. Couperose means visible, dilated blood vessels, often on the cheeks and around the nose. It can occur on its own, but can also be part of rosacea.

What it is

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face. It can cause flushing, persistent redness, visible dilated blood vessels and, for some people, bumps or pimples, or a stinging sensation. In some people rosacea also affects the eyes, causing dry, burning or red eyes. It can look different across skin tones. A healthcare professional can help with diagnosis and treatment; makeup can change the appearance of redness but does not treat rosacea.

Redness after pregnancy

If you notice new or persistent facial redness after pregnancy, a doctor or dermatologist can help identify the cause. Redness alone does not necessarily mean you have rosacea.

A few facts

  • Rosacea can affect all skin tones, although redness may be less visible on darker tones.

  • Sunlight, temperature changes, stress, alcohol, spicy food and hot drinks can trigger flare-ups, and so can some skincare products. Triggers vary from person to person.

  • Visible blood vessels can be part of rosacea, but also occur on their own. And not all facial redness is rosacea.

Aspilon CC Cream offers light-to-medium coverage to soften the appearance of redness. Add Aspilon Foundation where you want medium-to-full coverage.

How to apply

  1. Prepare gently

    Start with your usual gentle skincare and apply sunscreen. Let each layer settle before applying makeup.

  2. Soften visible redness

    Blend Aspilon CC Cream evenly with clean fingertips or a soft makeup brush. Use a light touch rather than repeated rubbing.

  3. Build where you want it

    For extra coverage, press a small amount of Aspilon Foundation onto selected areas with a damp sponge. Add thin layers and soften the edges.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can makeup cover rosacea?

Makeup can change the appearance of redness, but it does not treat rosacea. Aspilon CC Cream offers light-to-medium coverage to soften the appearance of redness, and you can add Aspilon Foundation where you want medium-to-full coverage.

Will makeup irritate my rosacea or cause a flare-up?

Triggers vary from person to person, and some skincare products can be one. Both Aspilon formulas are fragrance-free and dermatologically tested, with ingredients selected to support hydration and the skin barrier. Individual tolerance varies, so check the ingredient list for any known sensitivities.

How do I apply it gently?

Blend Aspilon CC Cream evenly with clean fingertips or a soft makeup brush, with a light touch rather than repeated rubbing. For extra coverage, press a small amount of Aspilon Foundation onto selected areas with a damp sponge, in thin layers.

Do I need both Aspilon CC Cream and Aspilon Foundation?

No. Aspilon CC Cream gives light-to-medium coverage on its own. Add Aspilon Foundation only where you want medium-to-full coverage.

What is the difference between rosacea and couperose?

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that can cause flushing, persistent redness and sensitivity. Couperose means visible, dilated blood vessels, often on the cheeks and around the nose. It can occur on its own, but can also be part of rosacea.
