Summary

This study tests whether creams containing imipramine or amitriptyline (medicines usually used for depression) can reduce redness caused by sunlight in people with rosacea. About 48 adults with rosacea will apply the cream to their skin and then be exposed to a small amount of UVB light. Researchers will measure redness changes using special devices to see if the creams help calm the skin.
