ATOPIC DERMATITIS

These clinically sensitive skin conditions ‘over’ respond to normal environmental and social factors. Atopic skin is extremely sensitive to any topical products, including normal cleansers and moisturizers, and often appears irritated and red. It is often difficult to identify a normal skin care regimen that does not irritate atopic skin, especially one that contains anti-aging ingredients. Rosacea is an inflammatory condition that some researchers believe is caused or worsened by a microorganism on the skin, which makes the nose and surrounding areas appear very red and inflamed, and often shiny and broken out. Those prone to rosacea may experience a flare after drinking a glass a wine, going outside into cold weather, feeling embarrassed and flushed, drinking hot fluids or eating spicy foods. There are many different situations that cause a flare in rosacea, including using many skincare and cosmetic products. The patented polyhydroxy acid (PHA) gluconolactone, is compatible with atopic dermatitis and rosacea, and provides the anti-aging benefits expected from an AHA.
