Moderate evidenceBisabolol for Rosacea
The "calm-down" molecule in many sensitive-skin formulas. Reduces redness and stinging without bleaching your barrier, and plays nicely on top of retinoids or exfoliating acids.
Why it works for Rosacea
Calms skin inflammation. It is a compound from chamomile that quiets the inflammatory signals in skin. It turns up often in sensitive-skin and rosacea products because it soothes without much risk of triggering an allergy.
How Bisabolol works
Chamomile-derived sesquiterpene alcohol that suppresses TNF-α and IL-6 in keratinocytes and macrophages and dampens TPA-induced skin inflammation in dose-dependent fashion.
