Do you suffer from rosacea? Have you been covering up your persistent facial redness with makeup instead of treating it? You are not alone. Rosacea is a common, inflammatory skin condition that affects an estimated 16 million Americans and facial redness is the most widely experienced rosacea symptom.

I’m lucky to have never experienced rosacea, but a few of my close friends have so I know how frustrating this skin condition can be. Here’s the good news: now you can let go of concealers and cover-ups and get your rosacea redness under control with MIRVASO.

MIRVASO® (brimonidine) topical gel, 0.33% is the first and only FDA-approved medication developed and indicated to treat the persistent facial redness of rosacea. MIRVASO doesn’t just cover up the red; it keeps redness away for up to 12 hrs.

MIRVASO is hosting the Break Up With Your Makeup Sweepstakes to help women understand that they can treat their persistent facial redness rather than struggling to hide it with makeup and feel comfortable in their own skin again.
