Focus on vascular skin: The Pharmaceris N-Series
Vascular skin – often marked by redness, broken capillaries, and sensitivity – can develop into more serious concerns like rosacea if left unmanaged. The Pharmaceris N-Series offers targeted care with ingredients such as vitamin K oxide, niacinamide, milk thistle, diosmin, hesperidin, and InnoTetrapeptide.
What is couperose-prone skin?
Couperose-prone skin is characterised by visible blood vessels (telangiectasias), frequent or permanent redness (erythema), and a tendency toward irritation. This condition often affects the face and is more common in individuals with fair, thin, or sensitive skin. Without proper care, couperose-prone skin may progress to rosacea.
Common symptoms of vascular skin:
- Localised or persistent redness
- Visible capillaries (telangiectasias)
- Skin hypersensitivity and irritation
- Progression to rosacea if untreated
Contributing factors:
- Weakened blood vessel walls
- Environmental triggers (temperature changes, UV exposure)
- Lifestyle choices (alcohol, spicy foods, stress)
Best practices for couperose skin:
- Avoid hot water, spicy food, alcohol, and harsh exfoliants
- Protect from UV radiation
- Use dermocosmetics that support the skin barrier, reduce redness, and soothe inflammation
In the Pharmaceris N-Series Range, you will find cleansing products and products for daily care.
