Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin condition that affects more than 16 million people in the US.1

Rosacea is a chronic condition characterized by facial redness, flushing and visible blood vessels. Papulopustular rosacea can result in redness, swelling and/or pus-filled bumps. There may be several factors that contribute to the cause of rosacea, including genetics, environmental factors, an overactive immune system and Demodex mites.1-3

<strong><em>Demodex</em> mites</strong> are highly prevalent in the skin of patients with rosacea and may contribute to the inflammatory response associated with the disease.<sup>3,4</sup>
