Red Alert - Dermalogica Redness Relief Primer SPF20


Red, dry, irritated skin? Dermalogica has your fix with the launch of Redness Relief Primer SPF20 from Dermalogica, the ultimate relief for sensitive or sensitized skin. With all the soothing goodness of the UltraCalming line, the new facial primer addresses redness in the short and long-term, protecting and priming the skin, while providing a base for more flawless application and longer wear for makeup.
  
 This new formula contains:
  • Dermalogica's proprietary UltraCalming Complex which supports the ongoing recovery of irritated skin tissues, reducing hypersensitivity
  • Natural botanical extracts of Yeast, Oat and Oat Kernel Oil offering immediate calming effects on the flushed appearance of skin
  • Natural botanical extracts provide the sheer green tint helping to camouflage the redness
  • Extract of Oat, or Avena Sativa, is rich in avenanthramides, the active phytic component proven to have natural anti-redness and anti-irritant properties
  • Silicone base providing a matte, velvety feel that protects the integrity of the skin's essential lipid barrier from further aggravation. Comprised of ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol, the lipid barrier not only maintains the water balance in the skin by inhibiting trans epidermal water loss, but also protects against environmental stimuli including microbes, chemicals and physical factors which may evoke a cutaneous response
  • The product's SPF20 provides powerful daily defense against sun exposure to prevent further skin inflammation and sensitivity 
The primer's benefits:
  • Calms irritation
  • Protects skin from UVA/UVB exposure (which can further aggravate sensitization)
  • Produces a smooth, translucent, red-neutralizing finish for an even skin tone
  • Primes the skins surface
Sensitive vs. Sensitized:
Sensitive skin is a genetic trait, while sensitized skin is a growing phenomenon with multiple causes including increased exposure to environmental assaults, stress and chemicals. There are two primary contributors to common skin redness:
  • Immunogenic inflammation: the immune system launches a cascade of inflammation and involves the activation of white blood cells
  • Neurogenic inflammation: triggered by the nervous system
In both cases, the respective process results in pain, redness, itching, swelling and heat associated with inflammation. The newest understanding of chronic skin redness concludes that it is the combination of genetic susceptibility, immune disruption, nerve activity and epidermal barrier function that contributes to skin sensitivity and inflammation.

Redness Relief Primer SPF20, $62 CDN, comes in an easy to use and travel friendly 0.75 oz/22ml tube and will be available at Dermalogica authorized skin centers, spas and salons across Canada starting August, 2014.
