Did you know April is Rosacea Awareness Month?

According to a 2021 survey by Irish Times, one in ten people across Ireland and the UK suffer from the redness and sensitivity of Rosacea.

French skincare brand, Eau Thermale Avène, is on a mission to help redness-prone skin and develop expertly formulated skin care for all types of sensitive skin including people who may be prone to rosacea.

While we know that the cause of redness is hard to identify, there are certain situations that can trigger redness and flushing of the skin. These triggers can include, but are not limited to, diet, stress, temperature, environmental factors and an inadequate skincare routine. While some triggers are out of our control, it is possible to have a consistent skincare regime in place to calm and help taking care  redness-prone skin.

Avène’s Antirougeurs range has been specifically developed to help calm and soothe sensitive skin prone to redness and contains a soothing cleanser, a concentrated cream for chronic redness, a calming mask and a trio of daily moisturisers with SPFs.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND AVÈNE ANTIROUGEURS

These tailor-made products, developed in line with the expertise of Avène Dermatological Laboratories are developed with a trio of active ingredients to care for this skin type:

An innovative combination of TRP-REGULIN and Avène Thermal Spring Water, to soothe skin & reduce its reactivity.

Dextran sulfate, with its protective properties, helps reduce redness and prevent it reappearing.

Pongamia oil, a natural active ingredient resulting from Pierre Fabre Botanical Expertise, enhances the soothing efficacy of TRP-REGULIN.
