It's Time to Clear Things Up.
Perioral Dermatitis is sneaky—it looks like eczema or acne, but it’s actually neither.
This persistent rash, often appearing around the mouth, nose, or eyes, is frequently misdiagnosed and misunderstood.
While the exact cause isn’t always clear, it’s often triggered by overuse of topical steroids, harsh skincare products, or even certain ingredients in toothpaste.
Decode Your Perioral Dermatitis
If you’re dealing with red, irritated, bumpy skin around your mouth, nose, or even your eyes, it might be Perioral Dermatitis. Here’s how it typically shows up:
-
Redness & Irritation
Often forming a ring around the mouth, with occasional flares near the nose and eyes.
-
Small, Pimple-Like Bumps
They may look like acne, but they won’t respond to acne treatments.
-
Flaky or Dry Patches
The affected skin may become rough, dry, or slightly scaly.
What’s Behind the Flare-Ups?
-
Overuse of Topical Steroids
One of the most common culprits. Long-term use of steroid creams can disrupt your skin’s microbiome and trigger flare-ups.
-
Harsh Skincare or Makeup
Products with irritating preservatives, fragrances, or sulfates can make symptoms worse.
-
Fluoride Toothpaste
Some people experience flares from fluoride-containing toothpaste, mouthwashes, or even chewing gum.
-
Environmental Irritants
Humidity, heat, and even face masks can contribute to breakouts.
-
Hormonal Changes & Stress
Flare-ups often coincide with hormonal shifts or high-stress periods.

Experience the power of age-defying skincare with our Timeless Trio Kit, featuring TrueCider Serum, TrueLipids Hydrate, Correct & Perfect Lotion, and TrueCider Creamy Cleanser.
TrueCider Creamy Cleanser
Designed for sensitive, troubled, and normal skin types, this naturally acidifying cleanser is unlike any typical alkaline soap. It gently cleanses, moisturizes, and balances the skin’s pH, helping to defend against infection, inflammation, and irritation. Infused with niacinamide and 18-B glycyrrhetinic acid, it smooths fine lines and reduces redness and pigmentation, leaving skin soft, smooth, and healthy.
TrueCider Serum
Harness the power of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in this gentle yet effective serum. Ideal for both face and body, it works to restore your skin’s natural pH while combating fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. With polyhydroxy acids like gluconolactone and lactobionic acid, it’s perfect for addressing skin conditions like eczema, acne, rosacea, and more, while helping to balance and protect the skin.
TrueLipids Hydrate, Correct & Perfect Lotion
A go-to moisturizer for those with eczema, this lotion goes beyond hydration to repair and strengthen the skin barrier. The lipid replacement system, with Ceramide 3 and phytosphingosine, targets fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide and licorice root extract calm inflammation, while gluconolactone offers antioxidant protection, leaving skin nourished and revitalized.
Please note: As we transition to our beautiful new packaging, you may receive your product in our previous packaging. Rest assured, the size and formula remain exactly the same—only the look is changing!
How it Works
The Timeless Trio is designed to work in harmony, providing a complete skincare routine that cleanses, balances, hydrates, and protects. The TrueCider Creamy Cleanser gently removes impurities while restoring your skin’s natural pH. The TrueCider Serum delivers a powerful blend of polyhydroxy acids and apple cider vinegar to refine texture and target signs of aging. Finally, the TrueLipids Hydrate, Correct & Perfect Lotion seals in moisture, strengthens the skin barrier, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, redness, and hyperpigmentation. Together, these three essentials create a foundation for healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Why it Works
Your skin thrives when its natural barrier is supported and balanced. The Timeless Trio is formulated with science-backed ingredients that work synergistically:
pH-Balancing Power – The cleanser and serum restore your skin’s ideal acidity, helping to protect against irritation and environmental stressors.

The TrueLipids Advantage
Most traditional skincare products aren’t designed for Perioral Dermatitis—and some can actually make it worse.
That’s why our approach is different: TrueLipids® technology works to restore the skin barrier, rebalance hydration, and support long-term skin health without irritation.
#1: pH Balance
Disrupting your skin’s natural pH can make symptoms linger. Our products help restore your skin’s ideal balance to support healing.
#2: Lipid Restoration
A compromised barrier makes skin vulnerable to flare-ups. We replenish key lipids like ceramides and fatty acids to help strengthen and protect.
#3: Microbiome Support
A healthy skin microbiome is key to keeping flare-ups in check. Our formulas include ingredients that help maintain balance, keeping unwanted bacteria and irritation at bay.
No Irritants, No Worries
Our formulas are free from 88 common allergens—including steroids, fragrances, parabens, and sulfates—because Perioral Dermatitis needs gentle, science-backed care, not hidden irritants.
Prescription Treatments
(When needed)
For stubborn cases of Perioral Dermatitis, prescription treatments may be necessary.
Schedule a virtual consultation with one of our trained providers to get a personalized treatment plan, expert guidance, and prescription options—all from the comfort of home.
FAQs
Can Perioral Dermatitis go away on its own?
Not usually. Without proper care, it can persist for months or even years. Identifying triggers and using the right skincare (along with prescription treatment, if needed) can help manage symptoms effectively.
Can I treat Perioral Dermatitis with over-the-counter products?
While OTC skincare can help manage symptoms, most cases require prescription treatment to fully resolve. However, using gentle, non-irritating skincare like the Perioral Dermatitis Kit can prevent flare-ups from getting worse.
Should I stop using topical steroids if I have Perioral Dermatitis?
Yes—if your rash was triggered by steroid creams, stopping them is crucial. However, withdrawal can sometimes make symptoms temporarily worse before they improve.
Will Perioral Dermatitis go away if I stop using fluoride toothpaste?
For some people, fluoride is a trigger. Switching to a fluoride-free toothpaste may help reduce irritation, but it’s not a guaranteed solution for everyone.
Can I wear makeup if I have Perioral Dermatitis?
It’s best to avoid heavy or occlusive makeup while your skin is inflamed. If you do wear makeup, opt for fragrance-free, non-comedogenic products and remove them gently at the end of the day.
Can stress make Perioral Dermatitis worse?
Yes, stress is a known trigger for flare-ups. Managing stress through sleep, mindfulness, and a consistent skincare routine may help keep symptoms under control.
How long does it take to see improvement?
With the right skincare and prescription treatment (if needed), most people see improvement within a few weeks. However, flare-ups can be stubborn, so consistency is key.
