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.
