Rosacea

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that manifests as redness and visible blood vessels, often accompanied by small, red, pus-filled bumps. While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, it is thought to be linked to genetics, hormonal changes, and stress. Recent research also suggests that a hyperactive and faulty immune system may play a role in triggering inflammation in the skin.

How to Scientifically Treat Rosacea?

Managing rosacea requires a combination of soothing treatments and lifestyle adjustments.

Barrier Repair: Strengthening the skin’s barrier is key to preventing bacteria from entering and reducing irritation. Optaderm’s Serenity Soothing Peptide Serum contains Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, which constricts blood vessels to reduce redness, while Allantoin and Niacinamide repair the barrier function and soothe.
Hydration: Maintaining proper hydration helps improve skin comfort during flare-ups. Optaderm’s serums and moisturizers, enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and Sea Kelp, provide long-lasting hydration.
Soothing Ingredients: Peptides, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid are crucial for calming inflammation and repairing the skin's barrier function.
Sun Protection: Consistent use of sunscreen is vital for preventing rosacea flare-ups caused by UV exposure.
