Product Of The Week: Uriage Roseliane Anti-Redness Cream

Our skin turns red. Just like that. (Fingers snap.) Not because we’re embarrassed, although it definitely happens then too, but because we have a touch of eczema, maybe even rosacea and our skin is so easily irritated. Uriage Roseliane Anti-Redness Cream is helping put a hard stop to most of that.

White hued and rich in texture, this face cream absorbs into our skin quickly and doesn’t leave a tacky film or greasy feel. Overflowing in healing thermal water, the formula moisturizes and soothes. The inclusion of Cerasterol-2F helps heal any surface damage, hydrating our dermis and providing immediate and long-lasting relief from itching, soreness and dry skin. And then, there’s the ginseng and red algae extracts that work to reduce the appearance of redness on our face by strengthening the blood vessel walls in our skin, while a patented blend of ingredients help diffuse and eliminate inflammation. All in all it’s a pretty great combo.

We also like the cream’s tube packaging. It’s more hygienic than a jar, plus we can toss it into our purse and not worry about it seeping or leaking out. Squeezing the perfect dollop-sized amount we do need, however, is easy peasy. Especially since our fingers never touch the rest of the formula squished inside, which is very reassuring to our inner germaphobe.  So believe our less-red face when we say: this cream has become a must-apply every single day.
