More than 5 percent of the world’s population is struggling with rosacea, a common skin disorder that is unresponsive to traditional treatment and is typically managed with drugs that cause unpleasant side effects. A peer-reviewed paper recently published in Pharmaceuticals shows that botanicals derived from certain plants may help address the condition’s underlying causes to better manage short- and long-term symptoms.
Researchers reviewed a comprehensive list of studies on rosacea in scientific databases from February 2023 to September 2023 and identified numerous active botanical extracts and pure isolated phytocompounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties with promise in managing rosacea. These substances can also help protect blood vessels.
