Skin signal
Redness
Sensitivity, irritation, and calming progress
Redness is your skin's loudest signal — it shows inflammation, barrier compromise, or vascular sensitivity. MIRU maps redness distribution across your face and tracks whether it's calming or flaring between scans.
What dermatologists assess
Redness distribution (cheeks, nose, chin, forehead)
Whether redness is diffuse (rosacea-pattern) or localised (irritant)
Visible capillaries or telangiectasia
Correlation with product changes or environmental triggers
Top actives for redness
Strengthens the skin barrier and calms inflammation at the source.
Madecassoside and asiaticoside are the key compounds
Anti-inflammatory and anti-redness — one of the few actives gentle enough for rosacea-prone skin.
10% OTC, 15-20% prescription
Ceramides
Repair the lipid barrier, reducing the sensitivity that triggers redness.
Look for ceramide NP, AP, and EOP together
EGCG is a potent antioxidant that reduces UV-triggered redness.
Works best in leave-on serums, not rinse-off products
This reflects standard dermatological guidance. Educational, not a personal assessment.
