Dermalex Repair reduces the typical symptoms of rosacea by promoting the full restoration of the skin’s barrier function. It also protects the skin through special UV filters neutralising an important trigger in the appearance of rosacea and couperose symptoms. It restores the skin barrier, treating the rosacea symptoms, and fortifies the skin barrier, protecting from new flare-ups.
Applied after cleansing, it instantly hydrates, calms irritation and helps cover visible redness. This innovative formula combines two active ingredients: SymSitive and Licorice Extract. Alongside its two active ingredients, the cream also contains green pigments that cover and neutralise reddened skin resulting in an instant even-toned complexion. To minimise the chance of intolerance or skin reactions the formula is pure, while the packaging has been designed to protect it from contamination thanks to a dual valve system.
Consists of two main ingredients: SymSitive and licorice extract. SymSitive acts as a sensitivity regulator directly at the source of the hyper-reactivity. It calms the unpleasant sensation and increases the tolerance of hypersensitive skin. Licorice extract is a natural ingredient derived from glycyrrhiza inflata root extract. It is both an anti-inflammatory and an anti-oxidant, and so reduces redness and soothes irritation.
Brimonidine is a highly selective alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist that is 1000-fold more selective for the alpha2-adrenergic receptor than the alpha1-adrenergic receptor.
Cutaneous facial application of a highly selective alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist reduces erythema through direct cutaneous vasoconstriction.
Contains Aldavine (an advanced blend of brown and red algae), Capparenols (found in caper buds) and Bisabolol (one of the principal acive compounds found in chamomile). Together, these skin-soothing ingredients work to calm irritation and reduce redness caused by sensitive skin or environmental triggers. This serum can be used following an aesthetic procedure or for treating rosacea
Helps prevent the appearance of skin redness by gently cleansing the skin without stripping the natural protective oils. Helps relieve and calm irritated skin and provides environmental protection. Contains Teprenone, a patented anti-redness active ingredient that aids the reduction of skin hypersensitivity; vitamin K, which helps strengthen the capillary wall at the site of damage, reducing the appearance of skin redness; sweet orange oil, which has soothing and anti- inflammatory properties. Helps relieve and calm irritated skin and provides environmental protection.

Rosiced contains 0.75% metronidazole which is active against the inflammatory aspect of rosacea. Metronidazole belongs to the group of nitroimidazoles. It is reduced in sensitive protozoa and strictly anaerobic bacteria with formation of acetamide and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-oxamid acid. Interaction with DNA leads to inhibition of the nucleic acid synthesis of the microorganisms concerned, which results in the death of these agents
Rozex contains 0.75% metroniazole, an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent that is active against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. The mechanisms of action of metronidazole in rosacea are unknown, but evidence suggests that the effects may be antibacterial and/or anti-inflammatory
Ivermectin is a member of the avermectin class. Avermectin has anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide-induced production of inflammatory cytokines. Anti-inflammatory properties of cutaneous ivermectin have been observed in animal models of skin inflammation. Ivermectin also causes death of parasites, primarily through binding selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride channels, which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. The mechanism of action of Soolantra in treating the inflammatory lesions of rosacea is not known but may be linked to anti-inflammatory effects of ivermectin as well as causing the death of Demodex mites that have been reported to be a factor in inflammation of the skin
Zyomet is a 0.75% metronidazole gel. Metronidazole is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent, which is active against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. The mechanisms of action of metronidazole in rosacea are unknown but evidence suggests that the effects may be antibacterial and/or anti-inflammatory.
