What Is Rosacea? La: Lactic Acid – the hero ingredient in all Ameliorate formulas because of its transformative power,

Rosacea is a chronic skin inflammatory condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 people in the UK, with common symptoms including, redness (often affecting the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin), bumps and pustules, broken capillaries, flushing, a feeling of burning, facial swelling caused by inflammation, and a feeling of dryness in the skin. In darker skin tones, rosacea causes acne-like breakouts, burning or stinging when applying skin-care products, and dusky patches of skin, as well as an overall dryness in texture. Typically, there are a number of common rosacea triggers to look out for, which include alcohol, extremes of temperature, sun exposure, spicy foods, exercise, and psychological factors like stress.Six active ingredients: Lactic Acid, Urea, Sodium Lactate, Serine, Allantoin, Hydrolysed Milk Protein. Unfortunately, there’s no cure. But exfoliating regularly with lactic acid can keep it under control. I say regularly because it can take weeks before you start to see results. Keep at it! Plus, it’s super moisturising. It creates a barrier on the skin that traps moisture in, helping skin stay soft and hydrated for hours. This makes lactic acid the best exfoliant for very dry, sensitive skin. It’s so gentle, it exfoliates without irritations. I like how gentle it is. Unlike scrubs, it doesn’t feel gritty or abrasive when I rub it on. It just smoothes out any bump and rough area without irritating skin or leaving a greasy residue behind. I can get dressed straight afterwards.
