SKIN functional Unveils Breakthrough Sensitive Skin Solutions with Dr. Lauren Knight

SKIN functional, known as South Africa’s leading skincare brand, introduces Sensitive Skin Solutions with dermatologist Dr Lauren Knight, MBChB(UCT), MSc(Med), FCDERM, MMed(Derm). We are launching two products: Rosaceaplex™ Redness Relief and Resveratrol Anti-Oxidant Concentrate. These formulas specifically target sensitive and rosacea-prone skin, providing lasting relief.
Meeting the Demand for Effective Sensitive Skin Solutions
Rosacea and sensitive skin are often misunderstood and undertreated, leaving many individuals without proper care. SKIN functional, in collaboration with Dr. Knight, developed targeted solutions that provide deep, science-driven relief, surpassing only temporary soothing effects.
“For many, rosacea affects quality of life,” Dr. Knight notes, “so we designed these products to provide intelligent, gentle relief, grounded in clinical insight.”

Rosaceaplex™ Redness Relief: Advanced Care for Rosacea
Rosaceaplex™ Redness Relief tackles visible and biological rosacea symptoms with a potent complex. Its delivery matrix, combining redness-reducing peptides, antioxidant-rich tea, and calming Boswellia serrata, hence offers comprehensive care. A key ingredient, Tetrapeptide-14, reduces inflammation by suppressing Interleukin-6 (IL-6), in turn preventing MMP-1 enzyme damage and promoting a calmer complexion.
Key Benefits:
-
Reduces skin blood flow by 25% in 3 weeks
-
Visibly diminishes redness, as measured by chromametry
-
Enhances microcirculation, thereby constricting dilated capillaries
-
Prevents blood vessel permeability and stasis
-
Decongests and softens sensitive skin
-
Offers vasculoprotective effects, thus reducing flare-ups
Resveratrol Anti-Oxidant Concentrate: Strengthening Sensitive Skin
The Resveratrol Anti-Oxidant Concentrate, complementing Rosaceaplex™, reinforces the skin’s barrier and protects against environmental stressors. Rich in Resveratrol, a potent antioxidant, it neutralizes free radicals, soothes hypersensitivity, and, by extension, restores balance.

“Resveratrol calms, strengthens, and brightens, and we harnessed its power for reactive skin.”
Dr. Knight explains

SKIN functional formulates both products without fragrance, parabens, or irritants, ensuring safety for daily use on delicate skin. These solutions reflect the brand’s dedication to transparent, high-performance skincare, hence empowering users with confidence.
