In 2005 a new range of skin care products from Eucerin (Beiersdorf Inc) called Eucerin Redness Relief was released. They are claimed as “Safe for sensitive skin and appropriate for Rosacea”.
The Eucerin Redness Relief system has been clinically proven to provide immediate redness relief, and improve the condition of visibly red skin in four weeks.
The Eucerin Redness Relief products consist of ;
- The Soothing Cleanser is a soap-free formula that gently cleanses redness-prone skin.
- The Daily Perfecting Lotion has an SPF of 15 and provides a light, all-day moisture that subtly conceals red, blotchy skin.
- The Tone Perfecting Cream contains green concealing pigments and can be used under makeup.
- The Soothing Night Cream is an intensive moisturizer with glycerin and lipids.
In the last year or so several members of the rosacea-support group have tried these products.

I have been using the Eucerin redness relief cleanser for several months works very well for my skin but I didn’t care for the rest of the products in the redness relief line.
minina62 says :
I use Finacea once a day, and use Eucerin Redness Relief line to wash my face and moisturize. So far my skin hasn’t been this good in ages. I used to have flareups once a month and they were so serious that I had to take antibiotics for it. Not any longer.
mandyrain2002 says :
As far as cosmetics are concerned, I use Eucerin Redness Relief stuff
for skin care. It works pretty well, but I’m always on the hunt for
something better.
SimplyPoetic says :
I wear the green sunscreen and the night redness relief cream, and I love it! I wear it and then put zinco on top of it, and feel a strong barrier on my face! I also live in Texas, and as you know we have some HOT weather, and it hasn’t melted off yet. I am sure if you got a good sweat going on, anything would eventually wear off.
At first I didn’t like the green color, but I got pass that, and found if you use it as a base and add to it..you are better off.
Try the night cream it is not green, but has a nice sheer feel to it, and it smells nice.

I’ve tried the cleanser, day lotion and soothing night cream. I love the cleanser and night cream - it’s the only cleanser I’ve been able to use without irritation or dryness. It’s a gel cleanser and it’s non-foaming and I have trouble with foaming cleansers - this is really great for me. The Soothing Night Cream is wonderful for me too - it’s the only thing that I’ve found that doesn’t irritate my skin and it actually reversed a really bad episode of irritation and flushing and now my skin is much calmer. The day lotion is okay - it’s not moisturizing enough for me - it has a drier texture and it just doesn’t do much for me. It doesn’t irritate my skin at all though, so if you have oilier skin, it might work well. I was a bit leary of the sunscreen, but I can tolerate it just fine. I’m returning the day lotion though because although the green tint does cancel out the red, I can’t wear it under makeup because it’s not moisturizing enough and I have to wear another moisturizer in addition to it, which is way too much product on my skin at once.
bjshadder followup up with saying :
Last week I wrote a raving review of these products. Well, I hate to say that the honeymoon is over, and I’m seeking an annullment! Yes, they are going back to Walgreen’s today.
They aren’t anything special - the anti-redness properties aren’t making me any less red anymore, and last night after I washed and applied the soothing night cream, I actually had a flare up! So, nope, they are totally out. I also have the day lotion, and while it doesn’t irritate my skin, I am getting oilier than usual during the day and oily skin is one of my triggers, so it’s going back too. They are too expensive for drugstore products not to work.
rjarrell2004 says :
I have tried the Eucerin redness relief line. I love the cleanser and still use it at night because it does a good job of taking off my makeup without overdrying my skin - gently massage on and leave for a minute or two to get a good clean. You probably don’t need to worry about taking off makeup, so you may not need to leave it on as long as I do. The redness relief daily perfecting lotion has a green tint to it and does a pretty good job of neutralizing my redness. It caused my skin to be a bit oily and bumpy, so I’ve stopped using it. The soothing night cream worked well, but I prefer Good Skin All Calm Moisture Lotion as it is a bit less oily and leaves my skin with a great texture. I also use All Calm soothing toner and creamy cleanser in the morning. I didn’t try the Eucerin redness relief stick for spot treatment.
ken972 says :
I tried out the Eucerin Redness relief products myself. The only relief I got was the green tint of those products took some of the redness away. Not much of a breakthrough. And some did sting a little. Seems some of these new products are just about masking the redness instead of actually reducing it.
Erika_in_Michigan says :
I caved in to the pressure & bought the cleanser & night creme (from Rite Aid). Used it for 4 days & returned both items (keep those receipts!). The cleanser made me really red, and I would stay red longer than usual. I was also starting to get a build up of dry skin on my chin. The night cream didn’t calm my skin, & in the morning I’d be a bit pinker & greasier than normal.
NanHIm says :
I have just begun using it within the past couple of weeks. I like the cleanser as it is a foaming type. My face is slightly red after cleansing but it always is, no matter what I use.
I do not like the texture of the moisturizer. The green color does help to tone down redness though.
NanHIm also says :
I have been using these products for about a month and overall am pleased. No miracle cure but they work well enough.
I didn’t like the Daily Perfecting Lotion at first as it doesn’t appear to moisturize very well but it does do a good job of toning down the redness. Now, as I write this, I am wondering if it is even intended to be a moisturizer. Does anyone know?
I do plan to continue using this for the forseeable future, or until someone here writes about some other product that catches my eye.
clpass2000 says :
I have been using the Eucerin Soothing Redness Relief Cleanser for two weeks now with no luck. My redness is the same and I have twice the amount of Papules & Pustules. I will stop using it today….I assume I will have no luck with the rest of their “Rosacea claimed Friendly Line”
beefamerica says :
I like the cleanser well enough. Not sure to what extent it actually “soothes” my skin or relieves redness. But it at least seems not to irritate, which is a rarity. And it rinses off well. My face doesn’t feel tight after washing like it did with the Cetaphil bar soap.
In my ongoing quest for a decent sunblock I looked at the Daily Perfecting Lotion as well, but the tinted formula doesn’t blend in well enough for a dude.
smches says:
I tried this and was not impressed with it. It didn’t do anything for me.
wwwdotchat says:
All their products burn my skin and make me red as a radish 
sk8shan5 says:
Sorry, I couldn’t find the original post in my e-mails. Yet, I swear by this line. It’s the only thing that doesn’t make my face burn. The only thing I’d say to avoid is that green cover stick. It covers great, but there is not enough product in it to warrant a purchase. I used it a total of 3 times - not even covering my whole face - before it was empty. The rest of the stuff, especiallly the cleanser seem to work well for me.
polockhart says:
I really like the Eucerin Sensitive Skin wash. It is very gentle and extremely economical. One squirt lathers up nicely so the bottle lasted for several months. I have tried the nighttime Redness Relief cream and like it although I think some people might find it irritating. I also have the sunscreen and like that as well.
I would also recommend the Aveeno Ultra Calming products. They have feverfew in them which really calms down my skin quickly. I really like the Ultra Calming Moisturizer with sunscreen the best of all I have tried. I just bought that last night at Eckerd on sale for $13 minus $2 on a coupon. I don’t like the foaming face wash, it doesn’t really lather up and seems wasteful. The nighttime cream is excellent and I use that more than the Eucerin. All products are over the counter and reasonably priced.

I ordered the sample kit, but only like the tone perfecting cream used under makeup. The night cream isn’t bad. But if you have Rosacea, go to Rosaceacare.com. I’ve found gentle, all natural products on there that are very gentle on the skin. They are kind of expensive, but they are worth it.
I had an allergic reaction to something, not sure if it was the weather changing to fall or the antibiotics i was taking, but my face broke out in rashes and dryness. very uncomforting because i thought i was breaking out again like i did in highschool. after 2 weeks i went to the redness relief kit and it started working right a way. the concealer is ok, it does conceal, but for a guy it doesnt work well with a on the beard, it gets flaky. I started to use the night cream in the morning and night and my skin feels better and the redness has decreased greatly. so far it’s been very good. hopefully it stays that way.
Hi! I find dermatologica products very good. They are very expensive but I feel they affects very well. I live in Sveden and we don´t have Eucerin thing, but maby I shoud try it.
well i try it it did work 4 me so i’m happy but now i change it so i dont like it no more now i love metro gel is the best gel creams ever i think yall should try it who know
Hi im tony aged 56 and have had a lot of probs developing slowly over the last several years. The redness,sawness and facial burning was very hurtful, and at times very embarrassing. I have never tried any of the eucerin redness relief products because i never new there was such products until now. I have just perchased a new computer to do some of my own research. to visually look at me now you would not know i had Rosacea and i wanted to tell anyone who would listern what works for me.I have seen some bad cases of Rosacea and i was getting their .
the green day lotion isn’t great, the cleanser is decent, but the night cream is a GODSEND. it’s the ONLY thing i have found that keeps my horribly dry, red, gross skin under complete control.
By the way, Clinique’s new redness solutions are HORRIBLE! they were worse then anything I have ever used! What a shame, because their CX line was so good and now they discontinued a good product and replaced it with a HORRIBLE one. Made redness worse almost immediately and just got worse and worse.
hi
I have just found this website and am amazed at the amount of people who have the same problem as I have. I am 57 and have developed rosacea, which a vengence. I have spots on face, nose , cheeks, scalp and behind my ears. After 6 months of antibiotics creams etc i have been advised to go on roaccutane which i start Monday…any advise would be gratefully received. Reading websites i appears i am in for dry lips skin etc…whats the best moisturisers to use and any guidelines you can give would be most appreciated. Cheers…. Peter Nash (peterj.nash@hotmail.co.uk)
Hi Peter, you might like to have a read of http://rosacea-support.org/accutane-moisturizer-sunscreen where Dr. Sy basically confirms that a good moisturizer is critical to the success of accutane.
I am 55 and within the last 5 months started to develope rosacea. I am fair skinned, blond hair, blue eyes and have always had amazing skin. Never any breakouts, small pores and had always been complimented on my skin,…….and NOW- I get Rosacea! What is going on? I have tried Zenmed which works pretty well, but last week I purchased the new Clinque line for redness and so far it works the best. I know that some of you have not had good luck with Clinque or some of the others, which is why I think every individual is different. You must try and try different brands until you find the one that works the best for you.
Hi ..
I am a 51 yr old female, in the beginning stages of menopause. In just the last 5 months,,,when the hot flashes first began,,,,my face, mostly the cheeks and nose…have become very sensitive, red, and irritated to most things I put on in. I have been an avid user of Noxema to cleanse my skin for YEARS,,,but now that seems to give me flare ups. Some days are worse than others,,,but I don’t know why. Some days it is simply a red tint,,,other days it actually ‘hurts’ and feels more like a rash than just sunburn. I have never had to deal with anything like this,,,,so my question is,,,,is this rosacea?? Is this because of my menopausal hormones? And will it EVER go away?! What have you found to work the best??
Thank you for helping me,,,,I really appreciate it.
Deb

I’m a Puerto Rico resident. Recently I bought the starter kit of Eucerin - Redness Relief at Walgreens Store. Since that time I’m trying to get the products at regular sizes. At Walgreens they told me that the products (for redness) will be no longer in stock. I have rosacea and your products give me a wonderful results since the last 6 weeks. I will like to buy the Night Cream and the Soothing Cleanser (both of Redness Relief line). My question is: Do you have a site available to buy the products? or Do you have some representative in P.R.? Please let me know.
Hi Marie! I am from Puerto Rico too. You should go to another walgreens store because not all walgreens will eliminate the eucerin line. I am going tomorrow to another derm because I think -I have rosacea. I
Hi Marie! I am from Puerto Rico too. You should go to another walgreens store because not all walgreens will eliminate the eucerin line. For example, here in Mayaguez you can get them in the University Plaza store. I am going tomorrow to another derm because I think -I have rosacea. I am very depressed because first I had acne and now this, btw I’m 20 and my good clear skin days seem to be over.
I am 57 years old and have had rosacea breakouts for years. Recently it became much worse and the Metrogel I had was not working. I went to the dermatologist and was prescribed Rosula cleansing wash, an antibiotic made especially for Rosacea problems called Oracea and Ivermectin cream (which I had to buy at a feed store!). Within just a couple of days, my skin totally cleared up. It has been about a month now and my skin looks great and is SO soft. It can’t believe it’s mine when I touch it! I used the Ivermectin every night for a week in the beginning and now use it just once a week. I would highly recommend trying one or all of these to help your rosacea.
Hi, I am 52 and have had rosacea since I was 30 but it’s been under control for years without prescriptions. I have used the skin renewal products that help your skin cells turn over faster (even tho they are not recommended for rosacea they worked great for me).
My question now is: I think it is in my eyes. They are swollen and puffy every morning, red, and itchy. Not pink eye as there is no gumminess. Should I go to an opthamoligist for this or a dermatologist? Any advice?
Thanks.
Hi! While reading the comments I had to respond to one specifically. I ordered a sample kit from rosaceacare.com and within a couple of days of using their products my rosacea flareup was so severe I had to go back on tetracycline and I am still having problems calming my skin down. Beware, as was stated by someone, be careful in your search for a miracle cure.
Hi Bron, I too have had problems with my eyes as a result of my rosacea. I have had to have my eylids, upper and lower, lanced and drained by an opthamologist in the past. I have also consulted a dematologist. I personally think it is wise to consult both an opthamologist and a dermatologist since rosacea can worsen over time and you wouldn’t want your sight to be effected, obviously. I prefer to go the natural route too, but taking tetracycline occasionally to avoid a flareup isn’t the worst thing. Just my opinion. Good luck, I can empathize!
The eucerin stuff SUCKS! I just tried it and it made my face bright red…much more red then the pink it was before. I’ll be bringing it back to store tomorrow.
I have to agree with Kay above. I received a sample kit from Eucerin last year and it was horrible stuff for me from start to finish. The cleanser was very drying to my skin, the green tinted day lotion not only stung, but was tacky, and the night cream stung terribly. I was glad it was a sample kit as I didn’t find a single item appropriate for my skin.
