Red Vein

For best results, initially use 2-3 nights per week. Then, build up to nightly use for 6-8 weeks or until capillaries diminish. Use Red Vein for maintenance as needed to prevent reoccurrence. Can also use to diminish bruising-use nightly on active bruising.

Niacin (Vitamin B3) — Niacin stimulates vasodilation, reduces TEWL, and increases free water levels in the epidermis. This is a vitamin that stimulates ceramide synthesis and speeds up keratinocyte differentiation. Niacin can also brighten, even skin tone, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, prevent and reduce photodamage, and shrink the appearance of pores.

Phytonadione Epoxide (Vitamin K1) — Vitamin K1 increases collagen synthesis, cell proliferation, cell growth, and tissue repair. This vitamin is antioxidant, suppresses pigmentation, and speeds up the clearing of bruises. It is also used to prevent the appearance of vascular disorders related to aging.

Glycine Soja Oil (Soybean) — Soybean oil contains antioxidants, linoleic acid, oleic acid, vitamin E, and vitamin K. This ingredient reduces TEWL, helps restore the skin barrier, nourishes the skin, is photoprotective, and neutralizes free radicals.

Oleic Acid — An omega-9 fatty acid that permeates the skin’s surface to replenish lost moisture and prevent TEWL. Oleic acid is an antioxidant-rich and anti- inflammatory oil that promotes wound healing and offsets free radical damage and oxidative stress. It also strengthens cell membranes, rebalances skin lipids, and soothes inflamed skin conditions.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) — A group of water-binding polysaccharides that make up the extracellular matrix. GAGs contain hyaluronic acid and hold 1000x their weight in water, increasing hydration and reducing TEWL. They maintain the skin’s elasticity and turgidity by inhibiting MMPs and maintaining collagen and elastin fibers. These GAGs are marine sourced and improve varicosity, spider veins, and dark circles.

Tocopheryl Acetate — The most bioadaptableTM form of vitamin E and a powerful antioxidant. Tocopheryl acetate strengthens the skin’s barrier function, protects the skin barrier-lipid balance, and reduces TEWL. It is also softening, anti-inflammatory, and photoprotective, preventing keratinocyte “sunburn cell” formation and lipid peroxidation after UV exposure.

Salicylic Acid — A lipid-soluble beta hydroxy acid that helps epidermal cells properly shed. Salicylic acid permeates the pores to clear infection, dead cell material, and oil impaction. It prevents acne by being anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal. Because salicylic acid is lipophilic, it can visibly reduce enlarged pores.

Naturally Derived and Microbiome-Friendly Preservative Blend — Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract (Scullcap), Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Root Extract (Licorice Root), Cordyceps Militaris Extract (Cordyceps Mushroom), Lactobacillus Ferment.

In this formula, the preservative combination has some added benefits related to capillary and vascular health, wound healing, and tissue repair. Scutellaria contains wagonin, a vasodilating phytochemical that reduces inflammatory markers. Licorice root extract is anti-inflammatory and helps strengthen cell walls. Flavonoids and saponins in licorice, including isoliquiritin, prevent angiogenesis and inhibit tube formation by endothelial cells.
