Rosacea is a prevalent and chronic inflammatory skin condition, typically recognized by persistent redness on the face. If the redness on your face associated with rosacea worsened after using La Roche-Posay products, several factors may have contributed to the issue. Consider the following possibilities:
La Roche-Posay has many skin care products, and some may not work well for people with rosacea. Any products you chose that weren't made specifically for rosacea could have irritated your skin and made it redder.
If you exfoliate too often, your skin can lose its natural oils, which can make it more sensitive and prone to irritation. If you used La Roche-Posay products to exfoliate more than once or twice a week, this could give your skin more redness.
Some La Roche-Posay products may have fragrance, alcohol, or menthol in them, which can be irritating to skin that is prone to rosacea. Since these ingredients were in the products you used, they may have made the redness worse.
The way you use it is very important, especially if you have sensitive skin that is prone to rosacea. If you scrubbed or rubbed your skin while using La Roche-Posay products, it could have irritated it and made the redness worse.
To fix these problems, you might want to look at your skincare routine again and choose products that are made for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. Do not use harsh ingredients on your skin. Instead, choose La Roche-Posay products that clean, hydrate, and moisturize your skin gently. If the symptoms don't go away, it might help to talk to a dermatologist and get personalized advice.
