Rosacea Cream

What’s the cure for Rosacea?

It would be wonderful if there was a cure for rosacea, unfortunately it’s not that simple.

Although there is no cure for rosacea, there are multiple ways you can help control and minimise the conditions with cream for rosacea.

Below is information on how to spot if you have developed rosacea with information on how to best manage rosacea from treatments, diet, skincare routines and rosacea cream.

How do you know you have rosacea?

Acne rosacea is a hereditary inflammatory skin condition that causes dilation of the blood vessels just below the skin’s surface.

Checklist for spotting rosacea symptoms

-        Your nose and/or cheeks are often red

-        The spots are small and pussy and only on your cheeks and nose

-        You were over the age of 30 when you started to get the spots

-        Your facial skin feels bumpy

-        Your spots and redness get worse in the heat or the cold, in the sun, after drinking alcohol or eating spicy food or after you use certain skincare products

KALME uses a patented plant extract from freshly picked Caper Buds called Derma Sensitive.

An earlier study¹ showed that the caper buds offer significant anti-inflammatory activity and are almost as effective as a pharmacologically recognised anti-inflammatory oxyphenbutazone. Capers induced a 50% reduction in inflammation, as opposed to 66% for the pharmaceutical reference.

The most active components of capers were then isolated ² and fortified by using a specialised extraction technique.

Cassia Angustifolia Extract

KALME incorporates an ingredient called INDINYL® which is an extract of Cassia Angustifolia, an exotic Indian plant, to provide 24 hour moisturisation.

Acne is a common symptom of rosacea. Unlike normal acne which is often connected to greasy skin rosacea is a dry skin condition and effective moisturisation is vital for Rosacea sufferers.

SUPPORTING INGREDIENTS

NDGA a super antioxidant.

NDGA is a powerful antioxidant 10-100 times more effective than vitamin E, vitamin C, or grape seed polyphenols (1). It is also more stable and more effective than green tea polyphenols.

The Kalme range has had several trials carried out on it

Kalme range basic with SPF30 and Undercoat cream

The most significant aggravating factor for red skin and rosacea is sun exposure. The importance of sun blocking is highlighted by Murphy from the Department of Dermatology, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, Ireland who concludes after research carried out in 2004 ¹ that

“The general consensus among clinicians is that rosacea is a photo aggravated disorder. Pathophysiologic processes induced by UV radiation, which are processes similar to those seen in photoageing, contribute to the signs and symptoms of rosacea… In addition to topical and oral therapy for rosacea, clinicians should recommend that patients use sunscreens or sunblocks (inorganic chemicals such as zinc oxide).”

Sun Factor Protection (SPF) Rating tests.

The research was carried out on people with normal skin. KALME was found to have an SPF in excess SPF of 30 on all testers making it a certified SPF30.

Suitable for sensitive skins

Red skin and rosacea is linked to skin sensitivity. KALME has been subjected Dermatological trials to ensure suitability for very sensitive skins and children.

The research was carried out by a fully accredited and regulatory recognised laboratory using qualified dermatologists.

Fifty people were selected for the trial, 20 had normal skin, 11 had eczema, 4 suffered with allergies and 15 had sensitive skin. Each product in the KALME range was then individually applied and left on the skin to study for any signs of irritation. Each formulation caused no irritation, even to very sensitive skin.
