Repêchage Hydra 4 Red-Out Calming Cleanser With Micro Silver for Hypersensitive Skin
For anti-inflammatory and antioxidant relief, to the rescue: new RepêchageHydra 4 Red-Out Calming Cleanser and Hydra 4 Red-Out Serum with Micro Silver (patent pending), a new, anti-inflammatory ingredient exclusive to Repêchage in the United States.
Micro Silver is made from micronized silver that forms into micro sponges during processing. This process enables the Micro Silver remain active on the skin longer, releasing pure, soluble silver ions to the skin surface, forming an invisible layer that both acts as an anti-inflammatory ingredient and reduces skin-irritating microbes. Repêchage is the first skin care company in the U.S. to utilize this revolutionary new skin care ingredient in an effective regimen for the treatment of hypersensitivity and rosacea, and related conditions.
Repêchage Hydra 4 Red-Out Calming Cleanser and Serum also incorporates the soothing, nutrient-rich seaweed Laminaria Digitata. Research shows that seaweed contains proteins, 12 vitamins, 42 trace elements and minerals, and 18 amino acids which are hydrating, moisturizing as well as anti-inflammatory. In addition, seaweeds are one of the richest sources of natural anti-oxidants such as phlorotannins, sulfated polysaccharides, fucosterol and fucoxanthins.
This seaweed, combined with Micro Silver and the following ingredients, create the most efficacious treatment to help calm hypersensitivity:
Quercetin: A bioflavonoid found in apples, berries, parsley, onions, grapefruit and wine, this has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, neutralizing free radicals and inhibiting UV irradiation-induced inflammatory response in skin cells.
Rutin: An antioxidant, this is a bioflavonoid found in high concentrations in citrus fruit, buckwheat, asparagus, rhubarb. It also helps modulate the breakdown of collagen and improves circulation.
Mirabilis Jalapa Extract: Also known as the “Marvel of Peru,” clinical studies show this alleviates skin discomfort, fades redness from skin sensitivity, strengthens and hydrates the epidermis.
Hyaluronic Acid: Extremely moisturizing to the skin, it is a natural moisturizing polysaccharide present in the skin. This ingredient can hold 100X its weight in water, and has an important role in wound healing and tissue repair.
Repêchage is available in medi spas, spas and salons as well as online at www.repechage.com. Repêchage customer service representatives can be reached at 1-800-248-SKIN (7546).
