Under the Microscope: The Science of Rosacea
To heal rosacea, you must understand it. Rosacea is more than redness—it’s a disorder of immune imbalance, nerve hypersensitivity, and dysfunctional skin signaling. Here’s what really happens in a flare-up.
The Cascade of Chaos:
-
TLR2 Overactivation: Toll-Like Receptor 2, part of your skin’s immune defense, is hyperactive in rosacea, triggering unnecessary inflammatory responses.
-
Kallikrein 5 & Cathelicidin LL-37: This enzyme-cathelidicin duo becomes overexpressed. LL-37, while meant to protect, actually increases inflammation and dilates blood vessels.
-
Flawed Feedback Loop: The more your skin flushes, the more it triggers itself. Nerves, immune cells, and blood vessels keep amplifying the signal.
-
Barrier Breakdown: This makes skin hypersensitive, prone to stinging, and more vulnerable to the environment.
Why Standard Products Fail: Most products ignore the immune/neurological drivers. Rosacea skin isn’t just dry—it’s misfiring on multiple systems.
How Roccoco Intervenes: We don’t suppress symptoms—we retrain the skin’s responses with:
-
Helichrysum: Neurocalming
-
Hops: Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial
-
Ceramides + Phytosterols: Rebuild barrier integrity
Try This:
-
Reactive Skin Serum + Radiance Moisturiser: A synergy that soothes skin, downregulates inflammatory peptides, and protects the dermal matrix.
Next: We’ll show you the Roccoco Rosacea Ritual and why it works faster than traditional topicals.
