As more consumers seek solutions for redness-prone skin, the demand for effective, gentle ingredients is soaring. From environmental stressors to common irritants like acne and rosacea, sensitive skin needs relief.

A Closer Look at the Science

Key results include:
- 96% Reduction in Chemical-Induced Redness (SLS): After 14 days of using a cream containing just 1% OCEAN ACTIVES® C+, participants saw a dramatic 96% reduction in redness, even under chemical irritant exposure.
- 92% Reduction in UV-Induced Redness: OCEAN ACTIVES® C+ also showed significant protection, reducing UV-induced redness by 92%.
- 2.5x Faster Redness Relief: Speed matters in redness relief, especially for those suffering from conditions like rosacea or acne. OCEAN ACTIVES® C+ accelerates redness relief 2.5 times faster than untreated skin.
These results highlight OCEAN ACTIVES® C+ as a next-generation solution for rapid and visible relief from redness.
