The Science of Redness & Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic vascular condition in which the facial blood vessels become hyperreactive - dilating easily in response to heat, spice, stress, or UV exposure and producing persistent redness, visible capillaries, and sometimes pustules. Unlike acne, rosacea is not caused by bacteria or excess oil, and treating it as such will make it worse. Effective care is centred on reducing vascular reactivity and environmental triggers - gentle, fragrance-free formulas with anti-inflammatory botanicals like green tea, chamomile, and rosehip that strengthen capillary walls and support a calm, resilient barrier.
