Why Red Algae is a Proven Solution to Reduce Redness on the Face Quickly

Red Algae stands out as a super ingredient. It's rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and essential minerals and vitamins, acting as a super-hydrator. For those wondering, “What neutralises redness on the face?” the answer lies in the powerful antioxidants found in Red Algae, particularly Astaxanthin, which is thousands of times more potent than Vitamin C and E.

  • Red Algae is rich in Antioxidants. Exposure to environmental stressors such as UV rays, smoke and chemicals can cause your skin's cells to produce excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This overproduction may trigger inflammatory skin diseases like Rosacea. Antioxidants can be your best weapon against ROS.
  • Red Algae contains one of the most powerful antioxidants—Astaxanthin. This substance is six thousand times more effective than Vitamin C at neutralising free radicals and 550 times better than Vitamin E in this respect.
  • Red Algae is rich in anti-inflammatories. People with Rosacea have higher levels of an inflammatory mediator called cathelicidins. Red Algae contains bioactive compounds that can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce the expression of inflammatory genes, which may help soothe rosacea-prone skin.
