Inflammatory skin conditions can look very similar, so it’s easy to confuse them. Acne and rosacea care are the most common requests from our clients. Here’s how to tell them apart and our recommended products for each condition.
ACNE: Characterized by the presence of comedones in different areas of the face. You may experience redness in areas with breakouts, but usually without sensations of warmth or flushing. The number of pimples may vary with your menstrual cycle. Your skin generally tolerates acids and retinoids well, and these ingredients improve its condition.
Which products to choose? We recommend serums like Medik8 Crystal Retinal and Instytutum X-Strength Retinol and oil-free moisturizers from Meder.
Meder Beauty Equa-Derm Cream Ed7
ROSACEA: Characterized by persistent redness in the central part of the face, with high sensitivity—flushing, warmth, itching, tightness, and tingling. There is often visible couperose (broken capillaries). If there are breakouts, they appear as inflamed “bumps” under the skin that cannot be squeezed out.
Which products to choose? We suggest the full Meder skincare line—AX1 Cleanser, SA3 Serum, RA4 Concentrate, ED7 Cream, RA5 Masks.

Meder Beauty Red-Apax Concentrate Ra4
WHAT IF YOU HAVE BOTH? Sometimes, both acne and rosacea appear on the same face. In such cases, it's best to consult a specialist (in fact, this is advisable for all of the conditions listed). Choose an expert from the SKINLIST team or book a written consultation.
