Antioxidants

Rosacea is a common, chronic, light-sensitive, inflammatory skin disease of unknown origin. Some research has shown that higher peroxide levels (a measure of free-radical dam­age), and lower levels of antioxidants in skin may trigger rosacea or at the very least make it worse. Using products that restore antioxidants to the skin, along with barrier-repair ingre­dients (skin-identical ingredients) as explained in Chapter Six, Skin’s Enemy: Irritation and Inflammation, can go a long way to help any skin type, including rosacea (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, November 2008, pages 36-41).
