Avène on Rosacea Awareness Month

As of 2010 the National Rosacea Society (NRS) estimates that 16 million Americans experience symptoms of rosacea. A study conducted by Dr. Alexa Boer Kimball, director of the clinical unit for research trials in skin at Harvard Medical School, concluded that 9.6% of U.S. women, regardless of ethnic background, showed signs of rosacea and that in Caucasian women alone, the prevalence rate of rosacea was 16 percent. According to Avene, since patients with rosacea often have skin that is sensitive and easily irritated, causing redness, inflammation, and stinging, adjunctive care is an imperative component of rosacea management. Patients should look for products that maintain the skin barrier while avoiding irritating ingredients. As April is Rosacea Awareness Month, the company maintains that Eau Thermale Avène is renowned for a long history in soothing sensitive skins worldwide, and offers patients a complete at-home regimen in adjunction to any in-office care for soothing and calming rosacea-prone skik with their Thermal Spring Water, new Antirougeurs Anti-Redness Dermo-Cleansing Milky Fluid and Diroséal Anti-Redness Skincare Lotion.
