Anyone who suffers with Rosacea will know that it can have serious damaging implications for their day-to-day life. Even those with mild Rosacea may experience low self-esteem because of the condition, as well as having to put up with over sensitivity to the sun and even certain food and drinks.
More serious symptoms such as thickened skin can cause pain, swelling and irritation, and consequently a decreased quality of life. Thankfully, the skincare experts at La Roche-Posay have worked tirelessly to innovate Rosacea skin care products that can help improve the skin condition, and their latest addition to the range offers some welcomed relief to the symptoms of Rosacea.
La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Creme is the newest member in the Rosaliac range, and offers a solution for skin prone to redness. Other products in the Rosaliac range include the hugely successful Rosaliac AR Intense Serum which is designed to reduce skin discomfort in Rosacea sufferers and is backed by scientific research published in the well-respected, academic ‘Journal of Drugs in Dermatology’. The success of Rosaliac AR Intense Serum can be attributed to three key ingredients: Ambophenol, Neurosensine and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water.
Whilst the highly scientific article can be hard to interpret in places, it does state that with use of Rosaliac AR Intense Serum ‘a significant improvement of all the clinical signs and symptoms of rosacea and a reduction of the skin reactivity to “trigger factors” were shown.’ Following the success of this product, the dermatologists at La Roche-Posay were back in the lab creating the next big breakthrough in Rosacea treating products, and La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Creme was born – and the great news for Rosacea sufferers is that it contains two of the same ingredients as the scientifically acclaimed Rosaliac AR product; Ambophenol and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water.
La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Creme is designed to cover the appearance of redness and correct colour flaws. You’ll find many CC Creams (Colour Correcting Creams) on the market, but many are just not suitable for Rosacea suffers due to them either being too harsh on the skin or simply not being capable of correcting the harsh red tones that many Rosacea patients suffer with. La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Creme is different because it contains the same scientifically acclaimed ingredients that have been praised by professional dermatologists for their Rosacea healing properties: Ambophenol and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water. We’ll take a look at each of these ingredients in turn and examine why they’re so great at what they do:
Ambophenol is well known in the dermatology world for its ability to calm and soothe visible redness. It is a natural extract from the Tambourissa Trichophyll plant which has its origins in Madagascar. The leaves of the Tambourissa Trichophyll plant have been traditionally used in sedative and pain-relieving infusions; so it’s clear to see why such an ingredient is so beneficial in the treatment of Rosacea. What it means for you is that whilst the CC Creme is covering and correcting the appearance of redness, the uncomfortable symptoms you experience alongside the visible symptoms are also treated. This makes the Rosaliac CC Creme a great all-round treatment, replacing the need to use both your normal skin-care products and your foundation – it’s now available in a simple one step solution.
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water is a staple ingredient in La Roche-Posay products and works to protect, refresh and soothe sensitive skin. Like Ambophenol, this means that the CC Creme not only covers skin, but also actively works to improve the condition. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water contains a high concentration of Selenium which is what gives it its powerful antioxidant properties.
So we’ve seen how the CC Creme works to actually improve the discomfort of Rosacea, but what about its colour correcting properties? Well, if you squeeze a little of the product onto your hand then you’ll find at first glance it appears just as a foundation. It has a sandy colour and creamy texture, just like any liquid foundation. However, once you begin to rub it into the skin, you’ll notice the harshness of the colour disappear, and it blends beautifully into skin to leave a streak-free finish.
And just as you’d expect from a specialised Rosacea product; redness is instantly neutralised to leave an even skin tone. And thanks to the Ambophenol and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, it also leaves your skin feeling soothed and relieved. As we mentioned earlier, Rosacea sufferers often experience hyper-sensitivity to sun, and so the experts at La Roche-Posay have cleverly included an SPF30 in the creme, meaning that your skin is also protected from the harmful damage of UVA-UVB from the sun.
It’s not just scientific research and acclaimed dermatology journals that are backing this product, it’s real Rosacea sufferers too! In self-assessment trials, 87% of consumers found that their skin complexion looked unified, and 87% also found that redness immediately looked reduces, as if faded. La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Creme is ideal for use on sensitive skin that is prone to all types of redness, whether it be occasional or persistent, dispersed or localised; and we’re so happy that here at Chemist Direct we’re able to offer it to our customers at the fantastic price of £14.52.
As with all La Roche-Posay innovations, La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Creme contains no parabens, no perfume, is 100% hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, contains minimal ingredients and has been tested on sensitive skin. We recommend this product to anyone who suffers with any form of redness, whether it be slight redness or serious Rosacea. Its healing properties combined with the colour correcting formula should help you to regain self-esteem and have the confidence to bare your beautiful skin once again!
