Redness

What is Skin Redness?

Skin redness occurs when tiny blood vessels under the skin dilate, leading to visible redness. This can be a result of natural vasodilation or broken capillaries, also known as telangiectasia (spider veins). While redness is often a cosmetic issue, it can sometimes be associated with discomfort or itching, which should be addressed by a healthcare professional.

How to Scientifically Treat Skin Redness?

Reducing redness involves strengthening the skin’s barrier and calming vascular activity. Optaderm offers a range of products designed to target redness:

Soothing Peptides: The Serenity Soothing Peptide Serum contains Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, which constricts veins and capillaries, reducing visible redness.
Barrier Strengthening: Niacinamide is a key ingredient in many Optaderm products, helping reinforce the skin’s barrier function, reducing sensitivity, and calming vascular activity.
Hydration: Moisturizers with ceramides and hyaluronic acid help maintain skin hydration, which is critical for reducing irritation and redness.
Sun Protection Regular use of sunscreen is vital for protecting the skin from UV damage, which can worsen redness.
