Skin surface lipid composition was measured in thirty‐one patients with rosacea and their age‐matched controls. Patients with rosacea had normal lipid composition, and there was no correlation between the lipid composition and the severity of the disease. Tetracycline therapy produced no measurable change in lipid composition.
