Built on guidelines, not guesswork
Three conditions look almost identical. Treating the wrong one makes it worse.
Rosacea, perioral dermatitis, and adult acne overlap at the cheeks and chin. The treatments diverge sharply - what helps one can flare another.
Rosacea
- Persistent central-face redness that won't fully fade
- Visible vessels on cheeks and nose
- Flushing triggered by heat, alcohol, sun, stress
- Stinging or burning on product application
Perioral Dermatitis
- Small bumps clustered around the mouth
- Worsens with topical corticosteroids
- Ring of clear skin around the lip line
- May spread to nasolabial folds and chin
Adult Acne
- Blackheads and whiteheads present
- Deep cysts along jawline and chin
- T-zone oiliness
- Responds to benzoyl peroxide / retinoids

Questions, answered.
Still unsure? The quiz is free, takes about three minutes, and there's no sign-up to see your result.
A chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting an estimated 16 million Americans - roughly 1 in 20 US adults. Dermatologists describe it by feature: persistent redness and flushing, visible vessels, acne-like bumps, skin thickening, and eye involvement. Most people have more than one, so we organize plans into four familiar types around the dominant pattern.
Eight questions about symptoms, triggers, and timeline (about 3 minutes). A second phase asks five subtype-specific questions if rosacea is likely. You see a probabilistic result - never a hard 'you have X' - plus a routine and three next-step options. No sign-up to view your result.
Yes. Your log lives in your browser by default - your data never leaves your device unless you opt in to a cross-device sync. Free forever.
No. RosaceaClub is educational. The quiz, tracker, and treatment ladder help you understand what's likely going on and prepare for a clinician visit - but a board-certified dermatologist remains the source of diagnosis and prescriptions.
We grade every product against published evidence and tag it by subtype. Recommendations are independent of commercial relationships - affiliate commissions never change what we suggest. See the products page for the full graded catalog.
Quiz answers and tracker logs are stored locally in your browser. We don't require an account to use the core tools. If you opt in to email or cross-device sync, we tell you exactly what's collected and never sell your data.
Every clinical page is checked against American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and National Rosacea Society (NRS) guidelines and edited before publish. Treatment claims follow FDA labeling, and articles link to their primary sources with a last-reviewed date.
Understanding and Managing Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects an estimated 16 million Americans - approximately 1 in 20 US adults. Many people spend months or years treating it as adult acne, sensitive skin, or perioral dermatitis before receiving a correct diagnosis. Dermatologists describe it by feature: persistent redness and visible vessels (Type 1), inflammatory bumps (Type 2), skin thickening (Type 3), and eye involvement (Type 4). Most people experience more than one feature simultaneously.
RosaceaClub exists to bridge the gap between dermatologist-level knowledge and everyday decisions. The diagnostic quiz helps separate rosacea from look-alike conditions. The trigger tracker uses your own logs to calculate your personal flare correlations - because the triggers that matter are the ones specific to you, not the population average. Every product, treatment, and article is graded against published evidence, with sources you can check.
