Characteristics of recommended sunscreens in rosacea

Sun protection factor	Broad spectrum (≥SPF 30+)
Formula	High‐tolerance water‐based formula, easy to apply, and remove
Other active ingredients	Should contain ingredients with emollient, anti‐inflammatory, skin barrier repair activity, or vasoregulatory properties
Color	Sunscreens containing green pigment should be considered as they can impact positively on patient appearance Tinted sunscreens containing formulations of iron oxides, pigmentary titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide can protect against visible light
Camouflage	Use of cosmetic camouflage with UV filters can give immediate satisfaction to patients and may reduce the impact of rosacea on quality of life
