(BPT) - You’re probably familiar with the frustration that comes with noticing new facial blemishes when you look in the mirror, right? Have you considered what it feels like when the bumps don’t leave after a few weeks and it is indicative of a chronic skin condition? Aldyn felt the effects of her rosacea go beyond the skin’s surface and she isn’t alone—an estimated 16 million Americans suffer from the condition.1 By taking the right steps, it is possible to turn your skin insecurity into triumph, too.

Turning moments of skin frustration into action, Face Up to Rosacea is an empowering campaign and online resource for people who are frustrated with this chronic skin condition and are ready to take a stand. No matter where people are on their physical or emotional journey with rosacea, talking openly with a dermatologist is an important first step in reaching clearer skin. Their expertise and guidance, along with the prescription treatment options available, will help to reduce the bumps and blemishes of rosacea, ultimately paving the way to regained confidence by helping you to achieve your skin goals.

Rosacea has been found to have a profound emotional and psychological impact on those who suffer from the condition.1 In fact, a National Rosacea Survey found that 90% of respondents said rosacea’s effect on personal appearance had lowered their self-esteem and self-confidence.2 Among those with severe rosacea, more than half said they would be willing to trade a year or more of their life for a cure.3 The good news? Rosacea is treatable.1

Once Aldyn decided enough was enough, she visited her dermatologist who prescribed SOOLANTRA® (ivermectin) Cream, 1%. As the #1 branded rosacea topical treatment in the U.S., SOOLANTRA Cream is an innovative once-daily topical cream used to treat the bumps and blemishes associated with this chronic skin condition.1,4 In controlled clinical trials with SOOLANTRA Cream the most common AEs (incidence ≤1 %) included skin burning sensation and skin irritation.5
