What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic condition characterised by recurrent episodes of facial flushing, redness and spots. The areas of the face commonly affected are the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Rosacea occurs when the blood flow to the facial skin increases. This is due to the small blood vessels in the skin dilating, allowing for an increase in blood flow.

There’s no set cure for rosacea: it all depends on the severity of your symptoms. Those with more severe symptoms may be prescribed an oral antibiotic to reduce inflammation.

Triggers that can make symptoms of rosacea worse include:

• direct sunlight
• wearing too much makeup
• harsh skincare products
• emotional stress
• alcohol
• spicy foods
• hot baths
• extreme weather
• caffeine withdrawal

How does Redness Reduction Facial Gel work?

The active ingredient is an alpha agonist. These medicines work by stimulating the alpha receptors found in the muscle walls of the blood vessels. When applied topically to areas of reddened skin, it causes the blood vessels under the skin to contract. This decreases the flow of blood through the vessels, resulting in the reduction of redness.
