Hormonal imbalance and other issues can have a huge impact. Also, caring for the liver is very important to overall ocular and skin health. So, it's not just the external aspects, though these are very important, the internal chemistry of a rosacea patient (beyond antibiotics) should be considered for effective rosacea skin care.
