POD

Red spots around your mouth, nose and eyes - but they don't respond to acne treatments? Skin feeling sore and hot - but heavy creams only make it worse? Chances are it's POD (perioral dermatitis or facial rash around mouth)

Perioral dermatitis (POD) is a skin disorder which can visually resemble acne, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis and other forms of dermatitis. In most cases POD involves tiny red bumps on the lower half of the face, in the folds of the nose and around the mouth. Other symptoms may include a burning feeling around the mouth. Bumps around the mouth may also be filled with fluid or pus and may also appear around the eyes, nose, or on the forehead.

WHAT PRODUCTS SHOULD I CHOOSE?

When treating symptoms of POD, opt for a gentle, oil-free cleanser (like our Gel Cleanser),a soothing oil-free serum and a light and soothing moisturiser. If the POD is very inflamed, it's best to avoid oils in any form for a few days. Avoid all kinds of exfoliants.

If your skin is very dry, cleanse with our Milk Cleanser and apply the tiniest amount of Softening Face Oil over the Balancing Essence or the Calming Serum.

Always consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.

Jenna - Problem Skin (POD, seborrhea & rosacea)

I used Laponie AM and PM. First the Milk, then the Essence, the Calming Serum and then the Face Oil. After three weeks, my skin is in clearly better condition. It feels better, softer and more hydrated, and the majority of the red spots have disappeared.
