My top treatments are:

Antibiotics (Oxytetracycline/Minocycline). I began with severe papulo-pustular rosacea. These have effectively suppressed most p&p's, for 3 years and counting.

IPL (Lumenis Quantumn, Dr Patterson; 4 sessions, continuing). The reduction of base redness and spider veins has been slow but steady, progressive and cumulative. The general texture/health of the skin (pore-size, propensity to break out, reactivity) has improved similarly.

1001 small lifestyle changes. Impossible to quantify, or even confidently correlate with any particular improvement; individually probably insignificant, but combined, it is highly likely these have made a difference, at the very least in facilitating the success of the above treatments (in a rough-ish order of importance):

Using a mild cleanser & not having long hot showers & not towelling skin hard; giving up smoking (from 15-20 a day to none); giving up excess coffee (from 6 or so strong cups a day to one); vastly reducing alcohol (from average 4 units a day to rarely); getting proper sleep (from often going without for several days to regular); eating healthily including mineral supplementation; stopping hallucinogenic/psychedelic drugs (from regular to none). In short, ceasing to abuse my body.
