Rejuvenating care with retinol

Retinol evens out the skin tone, reduces discoloration, smoothes wrinkles, reduces seborrhea. It belongs to the golden four of active ingredients, also known as the golden standard of care.

What is worth knowing and how to use cosmetics with retinol? Preparations with retinol don’t come off the top of the most effective. Cosmetics with reinoids are a remedy for the aging process and promote global rejuvenation: they shallow wrinkles, brighten the color and firm.

Is retinol good for everyone?

To start care with this ingredient, it is worth paying attention to what form of retinoid the cosmetic contains, what concentration it is, and what substances accompany it. Usually, the skin should be accustomed to the use of vitamin A, gradually increasing the concentration of retinol and the frequency of its application. On the other hand, the InVitive series uses such concentrations of retinol and such a form of ingredient transport (ceramide coatings, gradual release of retinol deep into the skin), so that it is not necessary to “adjust the skin” or use it as a periodic treatment. Invitive are cosmetics that can be used continuously throughout the year, also in summer (with minimum SPF 30 sun protection).

Properties of retinol

Retinol is responsible for the formation and growth of skin cells, protects against transepidermal water loss, normalizes the work of sebaceous glands, and prevents discoloration by regulating the processes of melanogenesis. The skin deals with all these changes in the perimenopause period. That is why it is worth introducing Dr Irena Eris InVitive with retinol. These cosmetics, created with the needs and condition of the skin in mind during this period.

InVitive cosmetics contain active ingredients with carriers that enable and facilitate their penetration into the skin, where they are gradually released. As a result, the rejuvenating effect is extended. They contain pure retinol at a concentration of 0.1% and 0.15%, which is closed in microspheric ceramide carriers. As a result, the action of this substance is 7 times longer, and the penetration 2.5 times greater than in the case of ordinary retinol without ceramide shells. Vitamin A has an exfoliating effect, so its “company” is also extremely important – not all ingredients can be used when using retinoids and not all of them can be combined with it. In the InVitive range, the advanced collagen heptapeptide PSC III (Peptide Collagen Stimulator) was used in the formula of the products. It stimulates the synthesis of collagen III and I, which has a smoothing and firming effect on the skin.

In addition, InVitive also includes Pro-retinol from blue-green microalgae, which is a nutritional bomb with as many as 11 vitamins (including vitamins A and B), as well as 11 amino acids and 5 minerals. Pro-retinol works similar to pure retinol, but does not react with the sun, so it is safe to use in day care.

To bed with retinol

Retinoids and the pure form of vitamin A (retinol) exfoliate the skin, which is beneficial for improving the color, firming and reducing seborrhea. But it may be associated with the appearance of sun discoloration. Therefore, it is recommended to use cosmetics with retinol at night, and during the day to use preparations with high SPF protection.

InVitive Wrinkle Minimizing Replenishing Night Cream with retinol reduces wrinkles and smooths the epidermis structure. In addition, it normalizes the secretion of sebum, moisturizes and regenerates the skin. This is due to the active ingredients that contain: peptide and pure retinol at a concentration of 0.1%. Apart from them, the cream also contains azeloglycine, i.e. a combination of azelaic acid and glycine. It is a hit in lightening discoloration and regulating the secretion of sebum. InVitive Retinol Night Cream also contains nourishing and regenerating ceramides and argan oil.

The InVitive Instant Smoothing & Perfecting Night Serum with retinol smooths the skin. It reduces unevenness and reduces wrinkles, as well as improves hydration, lubrication and color. It contains pure retinol at a concentration of 0.15%, which, when combined with the InVitive Retinol Night Cream, gives as much as 0.25% of this ingredient. In addition, the serum contains a peptide, an oil complex with vitamin E, and highly mineralized sea water. A good serum with retinol also works perfectly to reduce and contract the pores and regulate the work of the sebaceous glands. How to use InVitive Retinol Serum? You can apply them in the evening after cleansing your face solo, or you can just combine them with a retinol night cream from the same line to increase the concentration of vitamin A.

The vitamin of youth

Retinol, or vitamin A, is known as the vitamin of youth due to its smoothing, smoothing, smoothing and firming effect. However, in order for the skin to derive the most benefits from this vitamin, it is worth using products with retinol wisely and as intended. InVitive Wrinkle Smoothing Restorative Day Cream SPF 30 is a day cream with retinol. But instead of pure retinol as in the case of night care, its formula contains natural pro-retinol obtained from blue-green algae. Unlike retinol, it does not react with UV radiation, so using it there is no risk of discoloration. It also does not cause irritation, but has a rejuvenating effect and is a vitamin bomb for the skin. The day cream also contains moisturizing emollients to soften the skin, as well as lotus flower extract to prevent the skin from shining.

You can see age-related changes in the eye area the fastest, so it is important to choose the right cream for the care of this area. Due to the structure of the skin around the eyes, which is the thinnest and only 0.5 mm thick, and therefore more sensitive to irritation and delicate, it is worth using vitamin A or its derivatives only in appropriate concentrations and formulas. InVitive Age Correcting Moisture Eye Cream SPF 20 contains natural pro-retinol from blue-green algae, a protein-peptide complex that strengthens the structure of collagen and elastin. Therefore, it has anti-wrinkle, moisturizing and smoothing properties. In addition, it reduces swelling and redness around the eyes thanks to the extract of rowan buds, which improves blood and lymph microcirculation.

Hvor mange timer om dagen sidder du ved skærmen?

Circalogy- mod blå lys- blokerer skærm lys

Forstyrret døgnrytme og for meget skærmtid kan skade huden og forårsage tilbagevendende hudfejl og overfølsomhed.

UV-stråler stadig er en af de vigtigste faktorer, når vi taler om ældning af huden. Sollys indeholder blåt lys, som er den såkaldte synlige højenergilys (HEV). Blåt lys findes også i smartphones og andre elektroniske apparater. Derfor har du brug for at beskytte din hud ekstra, hvis du bruger mange timer ved skærmen.

Blåt lys er kraftigt nok til at trænge ind i huden, generer frie radikaler og nedbryde kollagen og elastin, der begge er byggesten i en stram og spændstig hud. Processen medfører rynker og løs hud. For meget blåt lys kan også forværre hyperpigmentering, særligt på mørkere hudtoner, samt udløse inflammation.

Hudens naturlige døgnrytme

Dagrytmen er en biologisk rytme, der gør det muligt for organismer at forberede på kommende ændringer og udnytte de tilgængelige ressourcer optimalt. Dagrytmen reguleres af to type faktorer: eksogen (lys) og endogene (ur gener).

De indre faktorer, der regulerer døgnrytmen er de såkaldte 4 ur gener: PER, CRY-gener [dag], CLOCK, BMAL-gener [nat]. De UR gener påvirker det cellulære ”tempo for tidtagning” og regulerer basale cellefunktioner, samt at repræsenterer en vigtig anti-aldringsfaktor.

Vigtige processer der forekommer i huden under en 24-timers cyklus er:

•beskyttelse

•detox

•regenerering

•DNA reparation

Ændringer der kan forekomme i hudparametre såsom:

•temperatur

•pH level

•talg, sebum og melanin niveauer

•hydrering (TEWL)

Konsekvenser af en forstyrret døgnrytme

Forstyrret døgnrytme skader huden og medfører tilbagevendende hudfejl. For tidlige rynker, Tørhed og overfølsomhed, grå, træt og mat hud er nogle af de konsekvenser af en forstyrret døgnrytme.

Innovative Bio-Chronocell complex harmoniserer og ‘omprogrammerer’ hudens fysiologiske rytme. Bio-Chronocell er tildelt ”Cosmetics 2018″ prisen for den mest innovative ingrediens (større antioxidanteffektivitet end Vitamin C og E)

CIRCALOGY

Den nye linje fra Dr. Irena Eris, Circalogy genopretter hudens døgnrytme og forhindre de negative effekter af blåt lys. Produkterne i denne serie er dedikeret til den yngre målgruppe, som efter undersøgelser bruger de fleste timer ved skærmen.

Circalogy produkter fugter og genopretter en sund hudtone, reducerer tilbagevendende hudproblemer og forhindre tidlige alderstegn.

THE SUN – SUN PROTECTION FOR KIDS

BROADSPECTRUM SKIN SUN PROTECTION

For sensitive, delicate and allergic-prone skin, protection against radiation should be a priority, as it is easy to irritate or even more serious skin changes. Creams with UV filters are a standard solution. However, when the skin has high requirements, a specialist preparation providing broadband protection will be appropriate for it – what is its action?

WHEN SHOULD I USE FILTER CREAMS?

Reaching for sunscreens in the summer season is a matter of course. The sun shines most intensely then, most of the time the skies are clear, and high temperatures tend to reveal our bodies. It is the summer that the fastest way to get burns and irritation. However, we can often find an indication that it is worth using filters all year round – and there is a lot of reason in this, because even when we only have beautiful memories after summer, the sun’s rays still reach us, especially in winter, when they reflect on snow and snow. fall on the face. If your skin is sensitive, delicate or allergic, the effects of long-term exposure to the sun can be very unpleasant: redness, irritation, itching, burning, rash – these are possible signs of sensitivity to rays. In severe cases, it causes painful burns, which are particularly exposed to people with low phototype, i.e. pale complexion. Therefore, sunscreen should be one of the basic preparations we use every day, and in the case of problem skin, broadband protection is the most appropriate.

FROM WHAT KINDS OF RADIATION DO BROADBAND FILTERS PROTECT?

Our skin is in contact with various types of radiation. Most often it is said about:

UVA – makes up most of the ultraviolet radiation that affects us. Its harmfulness consists in penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin, participating in the multiplication of free radicals, accelerating skin aging and promoting allergic reactions to the sun;

UVB – this type accounts for a small percentage of the radiation that reaches us and, unlike UVA radiation, is blocked by clouds. It penetrates the epidermis, which causes browning of the skin, as well as burns and allergic reactions. UVB rays also have a very positive function, because they enable the production of vitamin D3 in the body.

If a sunscreen cream provides broadband protection, it protects not only against UVA and UVB, but also against other types of radiation, such as:

HEV light – is visible light, including blue light emitted by TV sets, computer screens or smartphones, in front of which most of us spend many hours a day. HEV light has the ability to penetrate the skin, thus contributing to its damage and faster aging;

IR – is infrared radiation that is part of solar radiation. Although most of the dose that reaches us remains on the surface of the skin, some may penetrate deeper, generating free radicals and contributing to the loss of firmness and elasticity. IR rays are the most harmful in the case of couperose and hypersensitive skin, as it can worsen their condition.

ONE PREPARATION, MAXIMUM PROTECTION

Today, when knowledge about the harmful rays of the skin is growing, there are preparations available that are not limited to creating a barrier against UV rays. The Spectrum-Protect Pharmaceris broadband sun protection cream is characterized by a modern formula that also provides protection against HEV and reduces the harmful effects of IR. It is recommended for the face with sensitive, delicate and dry skin, showing a tendency to allergic reactions and the formation of pigmented lesions. The use of modern technologies prevents irritation, burns, discoloration, sun breaks, pigment changes, and allergic reactions. It can be used in children and infants from 6 months of age. Not only in summer, but all year round.

THE SUN – SUN PROTECTION FOR KIDS

SENSITIVITY TO THE SUN – SYMPTOMS AND PROTECTION AGAINST UV RADIATION

Contrary to appearances, sun allergy is nothing unusual. This problem affects many people and its main symptoms are redness, lumps, eczema and itchy skin. Is facial sunscreen sufficient in such a situation? Which tanning lotion to choose and when to use the highest sunscreen? In this article, you will also learn what stops UV radiation and how to prevent sun allergy.

As unbelievable as it sounds, sun allergy is possible. Symptoms of hypersensitivity appear most often in spring and summer, but sometimes also in winter.

SUN ALLERGY – WHAT TO DO?

Solar allergies are a group of diseases in which UV radiation is a pathogenic factor. There is a theory that they are the result of a late allergic reaction to an unknown allergen triggered by UVA and UVB rays. It can appear at any age and requires consultation with a specialist. It is also necessary to use appropriate sunbathing preparations.

The risk of sun allergy is also higher in people with vitiligo, metabolic diseases and in patients taking certain medications, such as antibiotics. In their case, effective protection will be provided by a cream with filter 50 for allergy sufferers.

SUN ALLERGY – WHAT TO USE?

If you are allergic to the sun, sunscreen is not enough. Then there is a need to use specialized dermocosmetics for sunbathing. An interesting preparation in the Pharmaceris offer is a face cream with a 50 SPECTRUM-PROTECT filter. It provides a wide range of protection, which means that it has not only UVA and UVB filters, but also visible light and infrared radiation. It is waterproof, absorbs quickly, does not make the skin greasy and does not clog pores. It is the right sun protection for delicate and sensitive skin, prone to allergic reactions and pigmented changes. It has a very high sunscreen, which minimizes the risk of unwanted symptoms.

WHICH CREAM WITH A FILTER TO CHOOSE?

Protection against UV rays is extremely important, which is most often reminded of us before the holiday begins. However, do we know what a UV filter can do? First of all, it protects the skin against solar radiation, which adversely affects our health and skin condition. It damages the structures of the epidermis by the formation of the so-called free radicals. As a consequence, it accelerates aging, causes discoloration, but also contributes to the development of melanoma. Additionally, UV radiation activates the secretion of pro-inflammatory substances, the presence of which is manifested on the skin by redness and swelling after exposure to the sun.

It must be remembered that the sun’s rays reach the Earth all year round. In winter, exposure to radiation is shorter than in summer, but even then it is recommended to use face cream in daily care (it is the face that is most exposed and prone to irritation in autumn and winter).

How to protect yourself from the sun depends to some extent on the season and skin type. Protection has to be higher in summer, and so is when we travel to tropical countries. On the other hand, people with an allergic reaction to the sun are forced to use face sunscreen throughout the year, but in winter the degree of protection may be lower.

SUN CREAM – WHICH TO CHOOSE?

The skin is very sensitive to sunlight. When it is not properly secured, they penetrate deep into it and have a degenerating effect on the epidermis. They can cause allergic symptoms, but also contribute to the development of neoplastic changes in the long run. Hence, there is so much talk about protecting the skin from sunlight. Which sunscreen should you choose? It is worth reaching for preparations with a high SPF (minimum 30), especially taking care to protect the delicate skin of the face and neck.

While the best way to protect yourself from the sun is to avoid it, many of us like to sunbathe. When going on vacation, however, you must remember to take a sunscreen lotion and a face cream with a 50 filter, e.g. the SUN PROTECT Pharmaceris hydro-lipid protective cream. The formula used in the preparation shows the ability to reflect and absorb sunlight to provide effective and very high protection against intense sunlight and its adverse effects. It is a cream with a 50 filter for the face with dermatological problems. For the whole body, it is worth choosing an efficient moisturizing cream with a filter, such as – SUN BODY PROTECT. It is a preparation for people with dry and allergic skin. It nourishes the epidermis, protecting it from excessive drying. Allantoin present in the cosmetic soothes irritations caused by skin exposure to the sun. The cream provides over 96% protection against UV rays and minimizes the risk of pigment changes and discoloration.

SUN PREPARATIONS FOR CHILDREN

Sun allergy to the face and other parts of the body can appear at any age. The youngest, whose skin is very thin and prone to irritation, are particularly vulnerable. In their case, sunscreen must provide the highest possible protection against the sun. Such an action is provided by a body lotion with a filter 50 for babies and children in a spray with a multi-position 360 ° application. This dermocosmetic means not only effective protection against UV radiation, but also convenience and speed in use.

HOW TO USE FILTER PREPARATIONS?

Sunscreen lotion will be useless if it is not used properly. First, it should be applied to dry and cleansed skin, gently massaging it in with circular movements. Secondly, the amount of preparation applied is crucial. In order to provide the skin with the declared value of sun protection, the so-called the teaspoon principle. Apply as much sunscreen cream to the head and neck area as would fit 1 teaspoon. A similar amount should be massaged into each hand. On the other hand, use 2 teaspoons of sunscreen lotion on both legs, back and torso. A single use of the cream is not enough, you need to apply it to the skin several times a day. You should also make sure that the sunscreen is “fresh” – the cosmetic from the previous season has probably lost its protective abilities, because after opening they last for about 6 months.

And how to protect your face from the sun? In this case, the most important thing is to wear a suitable head covering, such as a brimmed hat or a baseball cap. In this way, we will also protect the eyes and hair, which are also susceptible to the harmful effects of UV rays. You should also use a good face filter in a cream or a nourishing foundation.

WHAT TO USE FOR SUN ALLERGY?

Unfortunately, sometimes even the best sunscreen is not enough when it is not applied properly or when the sun allergy is very strong. What to do if the skin itches after sunbathing and spots and redness appear on its surface? First of all, you should give up sunbathing (but still use a high UV filter – cream or lotion). You also need to soothe irritated skin by choosing a soothing moisturizing formula.

SENSITIVITY TO THE SUN – HOW TO PREVENT?

The answer to the question of how to protect the skin from the sun’s rays is important not only for allergy sufferers, but also for parents of young children and people with fair complexion. They are the ones who feel the effects of sun exposure the most and most often experience sunburn. So how do you prepare your skin for the sun?

Please dress appropriately. Clothing should be light, airy and cotton. People who stay in the sun for a very long time can additionally purchase specialized protective clothing with a UV filter (UPF). The headgear already mentioned is also necessary. It is recommended to avoid sunbathing between 11.00 and 15.00, when the sun’s rays are the strongest. However, if you do not want to give up sunbathing at this time, it is absolutely necessary to reach for a sunscreen with a filter.

What about sun allergy? Which sunscreen to choose? These questions are answered each year by specialists: dermatologists, cosmetologists and pharmacists. Many people are looking for effective and safe sun protection. We know that although it is necessary for life, it can also cause unpleasant problems and diseases.

ROSACEA

CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, SKIN CARE WITH ROSACEA

Rosacea is a disease, so it requires consultation with a doctor and scrupulous observance of medical recommendations. The combination of therapy and proper skin care allows for the extension of remission periods and improvement of the patient’s quality of life. How to care for a complexion with rosacea? What to wash your face with rosacea? We answer these and similar questions in the article.

ROSACEA – SYMPTOMS, CAUSES AND COURSE

Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory dermatosis that develops on the basis of vascular disorders, runs with periods of exacerbation and remission, rarely promising complete recovery. It affects 1.5-10% of the population, three times more often women than men. Rosacea is observed more often in people with fair complexion (I and II skin phototype according to the Fitzpatrick classification). The disease usually develops in people between the ages of 30 and 50.

Rosacea manifests itself in the form of pimples, papules, nodules, telangiectasia and permanent erythema, located in the area of the cheeks, nose and chin. Skin lesions typical of rosacea develop on the basis of vascular lesions. The capillaries fill with blood excessively, are brittle and therefore burst. Brittleness and excessive vascular permeability contribute to the penetration of inflammatory factors that intensify erythema. The lesions are preceded by prerosacea – symptoms typical for vascular skin.

The causes of rosacea are complex, the most important of which are:

– Vascular disorders, initially transient, then permanent erythema, telangiectasia, i.e. permanent dilation of the blood vessels of the papillary plexus of the skin. Blood vessels at the site of inflammation are characterized by increased blood flow.

– Disturbance of the immune response caused by factors of the external environment.

– Activity of free radicals.

– Influence of UV radiation.

– Influence of tissue enzymatic mechanisms.

– The action of microorganisms, including: infection with Demodex, Malassezia furfur yeast, Helicobacter pylori bacteria, parasitic diseases.

– Genetic factors.

– Excessive skin sensitivity.

Environmental factors that have a significant impact on the appearance and exacerbation of rosacea symptoms include: alcohol, cigarettes, hot and spicy food, the influence of certain medications, sudden temperature changes, strong wind, rooms with high air humidity and, on the contrary – very dry air, the influence of radiation sunlight, hormonal disorders, strong emotions, stress, inadequate skin care, intense physical exertion. The changes also intensify under the influence of hormonal factors. We observe exacerbation of changes in the perimenopausal period, during pregnancy and during the use of oral contraception.

Doctors distinguish four forms of the disease:

– telangiectatic-erythematous form – a characteristic symptom is a temporary or permanent erythema located symmetrically on both sides of the face. It is accompanied by telangiectasia and facial swelling, patients complain of burning and tightness.

– maculopapular form – characterized by the periodic presence of pimples and papules on the erythematous basis. This form of the disease often coexists with acne vulgaris, which makes its correct diagnosis even more difficult. Rosacea and acne vulgaris differ in that with rosacea we do not observe the presence of blackheads.

– hypertrophic – in this form of the disease, the already mentioned erythema, papules and telangiectasias are observed, and additionally, irregular skin thickening and a tendency to form tumors. The lesions are most often located on the nose, less often on the forehead and cheeks. This form of the disease is most often diagnosed in men.

– ocular – practically half of the patients suffer from the ocular form of rosacea. Its characteristic symptoms are burning skin around the eyes, watery eyes, photosensitivity, dryness, conjunctival irritation and redness, conjunctivitis, and the sensation of a foreign body in the eye. The patient requires constant care of both a dermatologist and an ophthalmologist.

Differentiation of rosacea is based on three diseases:

– lupus erythematosus – the occurrence of infiltrative changes with a significant thickening of the stratum corneum around the hair follicles is typical for the disease. On the other hand, there are no papular or pustular changes in lupus.

– acne vulgaris – associated with overactive sebaceous glands, characterized by the presence of papules, pimples, blackheads, purulent cysts. However, we do not observe vascular changes.

– disseminated facial lupoid – typical symptoms of this disease are the presence of nodules that change color under pressure, disintegrate and scar.

ROSACEA – CARE

How To Get Rid Of Rosacea? As already mentioned, rosacea is a chronic, recurrent dermatosis. Proper skin care restores the comfort of life and prevents exacerbation of symptoms.

Skin with rosacea, like sensitive skin, is prone to irritation, redness, stings, burning, and gives the impression of tightness. Caring for skin with rosacea is a big challenge, properly selected dermocosmetics will help you to cope with it. It develops on the basis of vascular skin, hence the use of active ingredients improving blood microcirculation, strengthening the walls of the vessels, constricting dilated capillaries and reducing redness. Skin with rosacea is also characterized by damage to the protective epidermal barrier, which results in hypersensitivity.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN DERMOCOSMETICS FOR ROSACEA SKIN?

– Do not use soap to wash the skin, but light, non-foaming face cleansing gels.

– Wash the skin with lukewarm water, never with hot water, drying the skin, avoid rubbing, rough towels, etc.

– Avoid hot baths, hot water, although it is not in contact with the skin of the face, may cause dilation of blood vessels and erythema.

– Absolutely avoid mechanical peels, replace them with enzyme peels.

– When applying a dermocosmetic for the first time, it is always worth making an allergy test.

– Remember about photoprotection. The sun and free radicals have their infamous part in the development of rosacea. Since infrared radiation and HEV radiation (high-energy blue light emitted by the screens of smartphones, TVs and laptops) generate even more free radicals than UV A + UV B radiation, choose dermocosmetics that provide broadband protection – against UV, IR and HEV. Remember that UV A radiation affects the skin with the same intensity throughout the year, also in winter. Day cream with UV filters is the basis of care.

– Use dermocosmetics with moisturizing, soothing, soothing and regenerating properties.

– In addition to day and night creams, it is worth including masks in your care. Hydrogel masks are especially effective, the application of which is very simple, does not require rubbing the skin or washing off residues.

– For skin makeup, choose fluids containing UV filters and active ingredients that care for the couperose skin.

– For make-up removal, choose micellar liquids designed for sensitive or couperose skin.

– With rosacea, cosmetic procedures requiring pressure, intense friction and exfoliation are prohibited – chemical peels with a high content of acids, microdermabrasion, mechanical exfoliation, skin warming and cooling treatments, sauna and solarium, face massage, except for lymphatic massage, the purpose of which is getting rid of metabolic by-products.

– It is worth eliminating spicy spices, alcohol, strong coffee from the diet – the correct diet and skin care are a system of connected vessels.

– Avoid factors exacerbating acne lesions.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN DERMOCOSMETICS FOR ROSACEA SKIN?

– Vitamin C – vitamin C deficiency results in a disruption of the collagen synthesis process, which contributes to a decrease in skin elasticity and firmness, deepening of wrinkles, as well as brittleness of capillaries, which leads to a tendency to bruise and micro-bruises.

– Vitamin K – associated by most of us with the blood clotting process. It accelerates the absorption of subcutaneous bruises, broken capillaries and redness. Used in the cream on blood vessels, it stimulates the activity of substances responsible for the blood coagulation process, thanks to which the damaged blood vessel is sealed faster, the outflow of blood cells is stopped, and thus the visibility of redness is reduced. Dermocosmetics with vitamin K improve the skin tone. Vitamin K is recommended for use on the skin with symptoms of paroxysmal erythema, the problem of telangiectasia, dark circles under the eyes, cyanosis, as well as a preparation that prepares the skin for aesthetic medicine treatments and a soothing agent after treatments.

– Soothing ingredients such as betaine, d-panthenol, allantoin, lime water. The lime water contained in CALM-ROSALGIN Night redness reducing cream has antiseptic, soothing and soothing properties. D-panthenol contained in PURI-ROSALGIN Soothing physiological face wash gel easily penetrates into the epidermis, moisturizes, soothes, protects and anti-itch.

– Olive wax contained in the LIPO-ROSALGIN multi-soothing face cream, due to its low molecular weight, easily penetrates into the skin, moisturizes the skin, creates an occlusive layer that prevents water loss.

– InnoTetrapeptideTM is a peptide that reduces the visibility of redness and dilated blood vessels caused by inflammatory reactions. It inhibits the release of interleukins responsible for inflammatory reactions, as well as the activity of collagenase that contributes to collagen degradation.

MASK ACNE

We have already said that skin with rosacea shows symptoms of both vascular and sensitive skin. Unfortunately, the necessity to wear masks does not have the best effect on the condition of sensitive, atopic and acne-prone skin. Moist environment under the mask, limited oxygen availability, favoring the growth of anaerobic bacteria, skin sweating under the mask, pressure and abrasions caused by poorly fitting personal protective equipment can lead to redness, itching, dryness, burning and similar unpleasant sensations.

At this extremely difficult time, skin with rosacea requires particularly careful care.
