Couperose, sometimes referred to as rosacea, is a skin condition in which small blood vessels become visible on the surface of the skin, particularly on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. These telangiectasias remain permanently dilated and are often accompanied by diffuse redness, stinging, or a sensation of warmth.
In some cases, rosacea-associated acne may occur, characterized by the appearance of pimples, papules, or pustules, along with more pronounced inflammatory flare-ups.
Several factors can promote couperose: genetic predisposition, vascular fragility, temperature changes, sun exposure, alcohol, spicy foods, or stress. While it is not dangerous, it can be uncomfortable and persistent.
Appropriate skincare, such as the Sensidiane AR+ range, helps soothe the skin and visibly improve the appearance of redness.
