Unmask Your Red Skin - April is Rosacea Awareness Month

Riversol Skin Care Solutions Inc. is the first Canadian cosmetic company to use beta-thujaplicin extracted from British Columbia's Western Red Cedar tree to soothe rosacea and sensitive skin.

VANCOUVER, March 24, 2014 /CNW/ - A chronic, inflammatory and embarrassing skin condition, rosacea, currently affects over two million Canadians. April is Rosacea Awareness Month, dedicated to shedding light on this condition, which has no known cure and where the underlying cause is yet unknown. Enter Riversol and beta-thujaplicin, an effective over-the-counter skin care product developed by a highly respected dermatologist, with the ability to help millions of rosacea-prone sufferers.

Riversol for redness uses a key natural ingredient called beta-thujaplicin; a potent antioxidant derived from the Western Red Cedar tree. After many years of searching for a skin care system to effectively calm the symptoms of rosacea, Vancouver dermatologist, Dr. Jason Rivers developed a skin care line specifically formulated to help this condition and sensitive skin in general. A powerful combination of beta-thujaplicin, Vitamin C and Vitamin E calms the skin, reduces the appearance of redness, and improves clarity and texture while deeply hydrating the skin - important factors in helping men and women with rosacea.

"One of the main concerns people with rosacea encounter is a lack of transparency in skin care ingredients. This makes it hard for them to decipher what may be irritating their skin," said Dr. Rivers. "While there is yet no proven cure for rosacea, patients note how positively their skin has responded to Riversol products within three weeks. Even better, many have indicated that they are no longer self-conscious about their skin."

Patients with rosacea prone skin suffer from low self-esteem and self-confidence - the natural healing components in Riversol unmasks their true beauty. While clinical studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and healing properties of beta-thujaplicin, it's not used in mass-market skin care lines due to the high cost of extraction and the difficulty to stabilize this molecule. Riversol has discovered a method to successfully incorporate beta-thujaplicin in its skin care line - the first product line in North America to do so.
