VMV Hypoallergenics Red Better Flare-Up Balm

Introducing VMV's answer to crimson flare-ups, something like Avene's Skin Recovery Cream, the Red Better Flare-Up Balm
The Red Better line is specifically addressed to those with rosacea or hypersensitivity, but this salve can also be used as a quick fix for sudden redness. 

The product is clear and a bit gooey; a little goes a long way. It doesn't really substitute one's moisturizer, but acts more as a treatment. The ointment is quite tenacious, leaving a film on the skin until morning. 
This contains a milder form of azaleic acid, which is used to treat/calm rosacea. I find it does help with reducing and calming redness somewhat. 



Overall, ok to have on hand for skin emergencies, but for persisting, acute redness, I'd still recommend a dermatologist.
