Medik8 Red Alert Serum has been specilally formulated to treat areas of redness on the face. In addition, Medik8 Red Alert Serum can be added to Medik8 Red Alert in order to boost treatment results on more difficult areas of erythema, either on the face or body. Skin redness is a common problem for millions of people.

Medik8 Red Alert Serum is a must have for Rosacea sufferers, and those pre and post chemical peel procedure. A welcome and surprising side-effect of the key Red Alert Serum active, Teprenone, is an anti-wrinkle action which is clearly seen in clinical trial imagery (see below). This activity together is now the subject of a worldwide patent.

Red Alert Serum is clinically proven to reduce chronic erythema, skin reactivity to environmental aggressors and other redness aggravating stimuli. It also helps achieve measurable improvements in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, skin elasticity and firmness, enlarged pores and conspicuous discolouration. The overall skin radiance, texture and smoothness is also enhanced. Topical use of teprenone in a cosmeceutical composition, such as Red Alert Serum, reduces the skin cells sensitivity and maintains the skin in a generally healthy condition. This powerful active effectively limits the negative impact of biological stressors on the skin. Not only does it block the release of pro-inflammatory stimuli at the skin cells level, but can also promote protective mechanisms for skin cell’s DNA, extending the life of each skin cell for a third longer than that without the Teprenone application. This activity is patented worldwide.
Red Alert Serum is intended to prevent and heal existing erythrosis (redness) but has also shown highly beneficial ‘side effects’ such as: diminishment of the size of wrinkles line and bags, significant decrease in trans-epidermal water loss and consequent improvement in skin firmness, elasticity and smoothness. Moreover, Red Alert Serum actively reduces the appearance of UV sunspots and enlarged pores as well as balances the skin pH.
It is not known exactly how Teprenone works. Originally a molecule used in the treatment of gastric ulcers, it produced incredible anti-redness results when used topically in investigative trials. It has now been approved as active for cosmetic use. Studies show that Teprenone extends the life of the cell's telomeres (part of the chromosome) which effectively means the cells can divide for longer without dying. The skin literally 'becomes' more youthful. This may be why the skin's vascular components (capillaries) become more resilient and less visible. However alternative theories suggest that skin is thickening and the redness is just less visible. Still others believe that skin cells merely become less sensitive to histamine release and consequentially do not 'flare-up'. Whatever the mechanism, what is not in dispute is the degree of real redness reduction.
