Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 118 reviews.
I’ve had this product in my cupboard for a while now and hadn’t used it. My current skin care was keeping the rosacea under control and I didn’t want to risk a flare up if I changed things. I recently went on a cruise and the first morning woke up with a bright red, burning and irritated face. I think the change in detergent or water probably made me react. So I decided to put this product on and wow! The redness reduced within the day and my skin was back to normal again. This is now all I am using, I don’t even have to use my ivermectin at the moment. For me, this product has been amazing.

Lovely 25 SPF. Not too thick - gives my skin an even tone and feel. Very happy and would buy again.
Antonia M.5/5Verified
Has reduced redness and my skin feels a lot smoother
Anita A.5/5Verified
I have been using a combination of gel cleanser, serum and day cream. Then cream cleanser and night cream as well as the foundation. I am 53 my skin has never looked better. I live how the foundation covers my redness in a natural way . I also use the bamboo clothes and the foundation brush applicator .
Jane W.5/5Verified
Lovely, light moisturiser. Goes on easily and non greasy. Not been using for long so unable to comment on benefits as yet.
Tracy M.4/5Verified
First time using this and it really calmed my flare up. I prefer having the choice of spf with no colour as I don’t always want to use the colour correcting.
Jennifer S.5/5Verified
I’ve been buying my green cream for a while but I must say, the consistency of this one is quite dry and grainy. Have you changed it?
Alexandra G.5/5Verified
I use the serum every morning. It's lightweight so feels nice to reapply throughout the day.
Sarah K.5/5Verified
As someone who has suffered with acne, rosacea and very sensitive skin most of my life this has been a fantastic find. I’m so conscious of needing a good SPF base now and this goes on really well and is super light. It doesn’t make my skin greasy and even after just a week my skin feels in better condition .
Jade P.5/5Verified
Very creamy and rich soaks in and doesn’t leave an oily feel would definitely re order
Lynn P.5/5Verified
Very happy with the light nature of this cream. I do wish it had a matt finish.
Antonia B.4/5Verified
So far so good - been using this for a couple of weeks and my rosacea is definitely feeling calmer. Hoping this continues - really nice to use as well - serum sinks in quickly.
Fiona P.5/5Verified
It really has helped the roseaca on my nose
Claire S.5/5Verified
Love the texture of the cream but the dispenser isn't that good.
Lynn E.5/5Verified
Applies very easily. Waiting to see how long it lasts to see how economical it is. Does make some difference to the redness of my skin.
Jacqueline Ann W.4/5Verified
Non-greasy and goes on nicely. Doesn't clog my pores like other sun creams. Feels nice on my sensitive skin.
Lorna S.5/5Verified
I love the texture of the Rosalique sensitive skin defence serum and the great job it does at controlling the redness in my face.
Elaine D.5/5Verified
This is a first class serum. My skin feels and looks so smooth after three weeks of using it. I’m fairly optimistic the flushing has calmed down considerably. I apply the serum first followed by the Miracle Formula which has been a fabulous skin calming product too.
The only slight disappointment is the pump which distributes the serum haphazardly on every occasion.
Carol G.5/5
Great just having a bit of extra protection it’s lightweight too so great for me as don’t get on with heavy creams etc
Karen P.4/5Verified
This sits nicely under the Rosalique 50 spf.....I use both daily and have noticed my skin improving. Great stuff
Luan R.5/5Verified
Feels gentle and silky on my skin. Very soothing.
Jacqueline A.5/5Verified
Totally calmed my skin down after 1st application, love it
Joanne J.5/5Verified
It’s lovely to put on through the day and have protection from the sun
Karen J.5/5Verified
The pump mechanism of the product is sub standard & only works intermittently
C L F.3/5Verified
I’m really pleased with the serum, it’s light and is absorbed quickly. My skin feels and looks better after just 2 weeks of using it. I’ve been using the 3 in 1 anti redness formula for a few years since I started getting flare ups, I walk a lot in all weathers and this seems to affect the rosacea (it only started after the menopause struck!) and the serum complements it really well. I will be trying the moisturiser next!
Karen W.5/5Verified
very good
Susan N.5/5Verified
Love this product. My skin has been so much better since using your products.
Julie C.5/5Verified
My second purchase of the serum. It’s lightweight and adds extra sun protection either beneath sunscreen or the 3 in 1 anti-redness cream. I’m very happy with it.
Karen W.5/5Verified
I have very sensitive skin and most moisturisers and serums contain hyuloronic acid. Although it suits most people, sadly my skin cannot tolerate it. It becomes red and sore. All Rosalique products are great for my skin.
Lynn I.5/5Verified
It sinks right in. I use before bed and in the morning under the green redness stuff .
Luan R.5/5Verified
I am now using all of your products, and I find that they are very satisfactory.
Valerie S.5/5Verified
Beautiful products and excellent delivery service. I have noticed a positive difference in my skin.
Elizabeth C.5/5Verified
Love the serum & the SPF too
Julie M.5/5Verified
Been using these products for 4 years now love them wouldn’t try anything else. Good value for money.😊
Ann D.5/5Verified
Light and non greasy, absorbes into your skin quickly. Haven't had a flare up since I've been using this. I've just bought my second one.
Thanks Rosalique
Fiona W.5/5Verified
The dispensing top doesnt work,can hardly pump any cream out so have to take the top off. Design fault.
Jennifer A.3/5Verified
I love all Rosalique products. They’re easily absorbed and it doesn’t take much product to make a difference. I wouldn’t go outside without the three products applied
Helen P.5/5Verified
I’m only on my 1st tube and so far I’m impressed, it has helped my skin so much, the flushing has definitely eased after 3wks of use.
Lynn M.5/5Verified
Very sensitive rosacea skin, never found sunscreen I could wear all the time without a breakout, this is great, my second order, so must be good! Thank you!
