Sensitive skin is a common concern; in fact, 60-70% of women and 50-60% of men report having some degree of sensitive skin. Along with this, facial redness is common and can be a result of a variety of factors, and not necessarily from the traditional sense of “sensitive skin.”
Ultraceuticals developed a product that specifically targets redness and even rosacea in the skin: Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum. The “R” stands for restoring moisture, the “E” stands for enriching lipids, and the “D” stands for its de-stressing capabilities.
Let’s break down what facial redness is, the key triggers and all things Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum.
Everyone’s skin is unique, which means that the redness they experience on their skin can be completely different from one another. Let’s break down how to diagnose red skin and how each form differs.
Facial redness refers to the appearance of red or flushed skin on the face. It can vary in intensity and may be temporary or chronic. Facial redness often goes undiagnosed and untreated, and its common causes include photoaging, true sensitivity, and rosacea.
Photoaging, or sun damage, is caused by exposure to the sun and free radical damage that creates oxidative stress that affects the dermal matrix. The breakdown of the dermal matrix results in the thinning of the skin, triggering underlying blood vessels in the dermal matrix to become more visible, leading to the appearance of facial redness.
Oxidation causes an inflammatory response, then angiogenesis is induced by the upregulation of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF).
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. In normal conditions, blood vessels only form when and where they are needed, during growth and healing. With photodamage, these signals can become unbalanced, causing increased blood vessel growth, dilation, and increase the appearance of redness and telangiectasia (spider veins).
True sensitivity is a form of chronic inflammation and a condition where the skin has a reduced threshold for irritative reactions.
Sensitive skin easily breaks out in rashes and blotchiness in response to external triggers, including certain skincare products, fragrances and harsh ingredients, excessive scrubbing, environmental factors like extreme temperatures, or even stress. It is the inflammatory process associated with the reaction that causes the appearance of facial redness.
This inflammation occurs due to the skin’s heightened response to perceived threats, leading to increased blood flow to the affected area, which manifests as redness. Additionally, the skin’s barrier function may be compromised in individuals with sensitive skin, making it more susceptible to irritation and facial redness.
Rosacea is a chronic medical condition that typically affects the face. It results in redness, pimples, swelling, pustules, and small and superficial dilated blood vessels. Often, the nose, cheek, forehead, and chin are most affected.
Rosacea is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, although the exact mechanism is not fully understood. One theory suggests that abnormalities in the blood vessels of the face lead to flushing and persistent facial redness.
Additionally, inflammation is thought to play a significant role in rosacea, triggering the dilation of blood vessels and contributing to the characteristic facial redness associated with the condition. Triggers such as sun exposure, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress can exacerbate symptoms in individuals with rosacea, further aggravating the redness.
Now that we reviewed facial redness and sensitivity a bit more, let’s talk about the mechanisms to reduce visible redness, soothe skin discomfort, calm sensitive skin (reduce hypersensitivity), reinforce and support the skin’s natural protective barrier, and deflect facial redness.
The Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum has ingredients that address each mechanism to reduce visible redness in the skin. Let’s review each ingredient:
To reduce visible facial redness, the Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum contains Phoenix dactylifera (date) fruit extract, which is rich in polyphenols and other antioxidants and tolerates extreme conditions of the desert.
The ascorbyl glucoside in Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum is a stable vitamin C derivative that helps to even the complexion and reduce visible facial redness.
Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum also features zinc glucoside, a water-soluble salt that penetrates the skin and soothes discomfort.
The acetyl dipeptide in Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum functions as a calming messenger, soothing and reducing sensitivity.
To calm the skin, the Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum has Tasmania Fruit extract. Tasmanian berry is a native Australian plant that thrives in extreme conditions. It has been shown to have three times greater antioxidant power than blueberries. This soothes the skin and helps to reduce the appearance of facial redness.
Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum also contains ingredients to support and repair the skin’s natural barrier function:
Niacinamide increases ceramide production and free fatty acid levels in the stratum corneum (the top layer that makes up the epidermis, the first layer of defense of the skin) to reinforce the barrier function and moisture retention.
This ingredient in the Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum is sustainably sourced and from 100% vegetable origin. It’s a skin-identical lubricant and natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that helps with skin moisturization.
The panthenol in the Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum acts as a sponge, helping the skin retain moisture to improve barrier function.
This is another ingredient in the Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum that helps to deflect light by providing a blurring effect to reduce the appearance of redness.
The Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum has a wide range of ingredients to calm, soothe, and reduce the appearance of redness in the skin. This amazing serum conditions to help reinforce the skin’s natural barrier and help reduce sensitivity to environmental triggers. It also provides an immediate comforting and cooling effect to the skin. To maximize the cooling effect, store this serum in the refrigerator prior to use.
The Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum has been dermatologically tested, proven to be safe for both sensitive and rosacea-prone skin, and is non-comedogenic and vegan friendly. The appropriate usage for this serum is 2-3 pumps, twice a day, directly after cleansing the skin. After panel testing with this serum, facial redness was reduced over 1-3 months.
Since facial redness is such a common concern among clients, the Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum is an ideal addition to your product offerings.
The Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum has been making waves in the aesthetic world for a while. It was named the Best Redness Reducer in the 14th Annual NewBeauty Magazine Awards, which speaks volumes about the product’s efficacy and reliability.
The rigorous testing and evaluation process undertaken by NewBeauty Magazine, involving swatching, spritzing, and slathering thousands of products, alongside consultation with industry experts and doctors, ensures that only the best products make the cut.
Tatiana Bido, the Editor of NewBeauty Magazine, personally attests to the remarkable results of the Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum. “This works wonders for reactive skin and reduces redness and inflammation on the spot,” she said.
Carrying award-winning skincare like Ultraceuticals, and the Ultraceuticals R.E.D. Corrective Serum in particular, not only aligns YOUR spa with quality and trusted skincare solutions but also fulfills the needs of clients seeking reliable solutions for their skin concerns.
