Using pure Jojoba Oil has really improved my rosacea. I use a drop in the morning and a drop in the evening after washing with mild cleanser.

Jojoba Oil
I use Jojoba oil as a makeup melter before cleanser. It removes makeup good but you could use any other oil, such as olive or rapeseed oil, much cheaper and the same result.
Sometimes, especially in the winter I use it under my moisturizer as protection from the cold weather.
If you want to use oil as a moisturizer be sure too take a small amont, just a few drops and massage into face while still wet.
My skin tends to bread out if I use oil too often as moist but as a before cleanser itīs perfect!

Jojoba Oil
I've used Jojoba oil all over my face to loosen make-up before cleansing and recently, discovered that mixing it with my average, but nonirritating night cream and just of bit of camomile toner makes my skin much softer, redness lessened and no breakout from the added moisturizing from the oil. Wish I'd experimented with Jojoba long ago.
I have moderate rosacea with occasional stress related acne.

I'm addicted!!!
I've started using jojoba oil on my face at night and in the morning (after cleansing with olive oil soap) and i have to say, i love it!!! I've tried other creams designed specifically for rosacea, but after a while, i experience flare-ups - jojoba oil soothes my skin, takes away the itchiness and discomfort, and seems to help with the redness (not immediately, but i've noticed after about 10 minutes, the redness has diminished). I would recommend this to anyone, even people that do not have rosacea, purely based on it's skin nourishing benefits! It also helps that it is a natural remedy and has healing properties!!! if you're at your wit's end with your rosacea, it doesn't hurt to give jojoba oil a try and see what it can do for you (also, the scaly patches on my cheeks have started to heal...)

Rosacea Subtypes
Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea
characterized by persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples.
Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea
characterized by skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue.
Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea
characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids,
recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.
Rosacea Stages
Pre-Rosacea
the first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal
persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.
Mild Rosacea
begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time - usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who
have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat,
cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.
Moderate Rosacea
as facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory
papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where
flushing is worst.
Severe Rosacaea
characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop
intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous
enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
