La Roche-Posay Rosaliac - Anti-Redness Moisturizer Rosaliac

Redness is often caused by sensitive, thin, reactive skin that is prone to redness naturally due to overly fragile blood vessels. Influence of internal and external factors can help promote the production of histamine, which dilates fragile blood vessels which then results in visible redness. Under blood pressure, these dilated blood vessels become permeable and release inflammatory mediators, which cause reaction. This reaction aggravates the overly fragile blood vessels, producing more histamine and therefore restarting the cycle.
