Trigger Tracker
Log your skin daily. After two weeks, we calculate which triggers actually correlate with your flares — yours, not the population average.
What you can track
Tap any trigger when you log a day. These are the categories rosacea patients report most.
- Alcohol (esp. red wine)
- Spicy foods
- Hot drinks
- Histamine-rich foods
- Cinnamaldehyde (cinnamon, citrus)
- Caffeine
- Sun exposure
- Hot weather
- Cold wind
- Humidity swings
- Saunas & hot baths
- Emotional stress
- Intense exercise
- Lack of sleep
- Hormonal changes
- Fragranced skincare
- Alcohol-based toners
- Harsh exfoliants
- Some sunscreens
Three steps to your trigger map
Log daily
Thirty seconds a day: pick a severity and tap any suspected triggers.
Build two weeks
After ~7–14 days the tracker has enough data to find patterns.
See your correlations
Triggers are ranked by how much they raise your average flare severity.
Why tracking is worth two minutes a day
Stop guessing
Replace “maybe it was the wine” with two weeks of real data.
Share with your derm
A logged history is far more useful than “it flares sometimes.”
Personalised recs
Your top correlations point to the changes most likely to help you.
Measure progress
Watch severity trend down as your routine takes hold.
NRS-verified trigger frequencies
How often rosacea patients report each trigger across the population. Your personal correlations above may look very different — that's the point.

Why trigger tracking works
Rosacea triggers are notoriously individual. The National Rosacea Society reports that sun exposure flares 81% of patients and emotional stress 79% — but population averages can't tell you what sets off your skin. Two people with the same subtype often have completely different trigger profiles.
That's why a structured two-week log beats memory. By recording severity alongside suspected triggers each day, the tracker can compare your flare days against your calm days and surface the correlations that actually hold for you — turning a vague sense of "something sets it off" into a short, testable list you can act on.
Tracker questions
Is the tracker really free? +
Yes, free forever. Your log is stored in your browser by default and never uploaded unless you opt in to email or sync.
Where is my data stored? +
On your device, in your browser's local storage. Clearing your browser data or using “Clear data” here removes it. We never sell or share it.
How many days before I see correlations? +
At least 7 logged days unlocks correlations; two weeks gives more reliable patterns. The more consistently you log, the clearer the signal.
Does correlation mean a trigger caused my flare? +
Not necessarily — correlation is a strong starting point, not proof. Use it to run small experiments (e.g. cut one trigger for two weeks) and confirm.
