Red skin ≠ sensitive skin. 👏

If you’ve been naturally pink your entire life, flush easily when you’re hot, exercising, drinking w**e, embarrassed—or basically just existing 😅—your skin isn’t necessarily irritated and your barrier isn’t automatically damaged.

Sometimes those tiny blood vessels close to the surface of the skin are simply more visible and reactive, especially in fair skin.

One ingredient I love for this: aescin. It helps calm inflammation and supports fragile capillaries, making it a great ingredient when visible redness and flushing are the concern.

We love GlyMed’s Rosacea Relief Cream for exactly this reason—and despite the name, you do NOT need to have rosacea to use it.

If you’re constantly red and don’t know what your skin actually needs, come see us. 🤍

✨ Rosacea Relief Cream is available at Facial Studio Magdalena or you can shop it through our online store.

OmniClear vs. Hyacyn Active — what’s the difference? 👀

They’re both hypochlorous acid (HOCl) mists, but we recommend them a little differently depending on what your skin needs.

Hypochlorous acid is naturally produced by our immune system and is loved in skincare for its ability to help calm inflammation, reduce unwanted microbial activity on the skin, and support skin recovery — without the irritation we often associate with traditional acne ingredients.

💙 Face Reality OmniClear Mist
Our pick for acne-prone and breakout-prone skin. Think post-workout, sweaty skin, after extractions, or anytime you want to refresh and purify acne-prone skin throughout the day. Face Reality uses patented Microcyn® technology to help stabilize the hypochlorous acid.

🤍 Hydrinity Hyacyn Active
Our pick when redness, sensitivity and recovery are the bigger concerns. Hyacyn Active contains 0.012% hypochlorous acid in a pH-balanced formula and is specifically designed for stressed and sensitive skin. Hydrinity also calls it out for eczema-, psoriasis- and rosacea-prone skin, as well as compromised and post-procedure skin.

Another important difference with HOCl is stability. Hydrinity says its proprietary bottle and dispensing system protect the formula from environmental contamination and help maintain the stability of the hypochlorous acid for up to two years.

So which one is better?

Neither — it depends on your skin.

✨ Acne + breakouts → OmniClear
✨ Redness + sensitivity → Hyacyn Active
✨ Rosacea-prone or compromised skin → Hyacyn Active
✨ Post-treatment recovery → Hyacyn Active
✨ Sweaty, acne-prone skin that needs a midday refresh → OmniClear

And if you have acne AND redness? That’s where we look at your skin, your current regimen and what’s actually driving the inflammation before choosing.

Both are available at Facial Studio Magdalena in River North Chicago and in our online shop.
