5 Clinical theories about what causes Rosacea

01

Problems with Your Immune System

When your immune system isn’t functioning well, it could lead to the development of rosacea by creating abnormal proteins. These proteins affect the way blood vessels work and can cause redness or swelling (inflammation). The human immune system protects your skin from microorganisms, damage from the UV rays, and also physical or chemical injury. Problems with your immune system can lead to long-term swelling or redness (inflammation), and blood vessel dysfunction seen in rosacea.

02

A Reaction to Microorganisms

Reactions to germs on the skin may be the cause of skin redness or swelling. There are a number of different germs or microorganisms that are the cause:

Demodex Mite and Bacillus Oleronius

The way Demodex causes rosacea may be due to a combination of factors. These factors include a reaction to the proteins produced by bacillus oleronius, an allergic reaction to Demodex, and / or other microbes that may be associated with Demodex mites.

Helicobacter pylori

Most commonly known for its role in acid reflux (heartburn), this bacterial infection in rosacea is debatable.

Staphylococcus epidermidis, chlamydia pneumoniae, and small intestine bacteria.

03

Sun Exposure

Ultraviolet rays from the sun are often recorded as a trigger for rosacea.  This is mostly because of the presence of rosacea on severe sun-exposed skin, signs of sun damage on rosacea skin tests, and a greater incidence of rosacea in fair-skinned people.

04

Inappropriate Blood Vessel Function

Facial flushing is common in rosacea and it’s also associated with worsening rosacea. Blood flow increases in the skin of some rosacea patients. This means overactive blood vessels could be a cause of rosacea. Overactive blood vessels link to abnormalities of the nerves that control them. The normal process responsible for controlling heat may cause flushing in rosacea.

05

Genetics

People with a family history of rosacea are more likely to develop the disorder. However, at this time genes related to an increased risk for rosacea have not been identified.

One method of discovering your personal rosacea triggers is ...

to keep a daily rosacea journal. Keep track of environmental and lifestyle factors while observing your rosacea symptoms on a daily basis. Track and record weather conditions, foods and beverages you consume, exercise, your stress levels, products you use on your face, medications you take, and anything that causes flushing (such as hot showers or baths). You can even try tracking apps available for smartphones.

Meet Karen! Since 2012, she has been a loyal customer. Her story is incredible and highlights how painful it is to suffer from low self-esteem due to skin conditions.

  • Very Satisfied! ❤️

    “I've been using this for a couple of months now and I'm loving my results. Poors are shrinking. Dark spots are fading and my wrinkles are smoothing out. Plus my skin feels so soft. The eye cream is the best I've ever used. Puffiness and creases are going away. It's somewhat costly but a little goes a long way if used properly. I'd definitely recommend these products to anyone who's interested in skincare!”

  • Free trial turned me into a lifelong customer!!…

    "My experience with the 15 day free trial of the redness control sample kit turned me into a believer. I have Rosacea on my cheeks and nose area that is quite visible. Riversol method has helped calm down the redness so much that I went ahead and purchased the full size products to continue with. My husband even noticed the difference."

  • I love my Riversol!

    "I have used many other very expensive skincare products bought from plastic surgeons, etc….. & I believe I have seen a better result in a shorter amount of time with Riversol. I have already purchased a full size line of Riversol Thank you RIVERSOL !!"

  • I ordered the free sample

    "I ordered the free sample, somewhat skeptically I must admit, but once I started using the product I was surprised how much I liked it. I have actually ordered more of the product including the sunscreen."
