Red, reactive skin with uncomfortable dehydration might mean your exhibiting signs of rosacea. Rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes redness and sometimes a rash that may look like acne, usually on the nose and cheeks. Even if it's not rosacea, reactive skin is a good indicator you have an impaired skin barrier.  This barrier is vital protection for keeping skin comfortable. An impaired barrier means moisture evaporates quickly out of your skin. This type of dehydration is called transepidermal water loss, or TEWL. You need to include calming, nourishing ingredients and an avoid anything drying or that may cause irritation to your delidate skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Ceramides: Ceramides are emollient ingredients that help repair reactive skin by reinforcing skin’s natural moisture barrier. It helps repair the barrier between surface skin cells. They lock in hydration and block irritants. Along with fatty acids they soothe inflammation, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and improve resilience against environmental stress, making skin less sensitive, less reactive, and more stable.

Niacinamide: Niacinamide is highly effective for rosacea-prone skin, as it reduces inflammation, strengthens the barrier, and minimizes redness without causing flushing. It is generally well-tolerated but do not confuse it with niacin or lower quality niacinamide that can actually increase inflammation.

Calming Botanicals: A cocktail of these time tested natural ingredients soothe the skin and calm redness. Here are some examples antioxidant rich, soothing botanicals: Licorice Root, Allantoin, Green Tea, and Aloe Vera.

Encapsulated Rosemary: increases barrier lipids up to 450% providing excellent protection for your sensitive skin.​
