“As a performer who is constantly on stage or in front of the camera, it’s important that I take care of my skin, but unfortunately, persistent facial redness from rosacea is something I’ve struggled with every day for years,” said Chenoweth.

“Kristin is the perfect partner to help us increase awareness about this condition as she understands the daily challenges of living with rosacea,” said Jag Dosanjh, Senior Vice-President of Medical Dermatology at Allergan. “She is among the 16 million Americans who have rosacea, yet we know only a small fraction of that number is actually receiving treatment.

Allergan said that in two clinical trials, once-daily application of Rhofadetm cream was proven to reduce persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea through 12 hours on day 29. Results seen in 12%-18% of people using Rhofadetm cream vs 5%-9% of people using vehicle cream.
