What makes DNA Repair Complex your top recommendation for redness-prone skin?
"If you have redness, listen up, because this is a product you'll want in your routine. The RescueMD DNA Repair Complex works at the cellular level to calm and repair the skin. It's formulated with a key ingredient, Lapachol, a patented, clinically proven anti-redness ingredient that works differently than ingredients you may already know."
DNA Repair Complex is formulated with gentle yet effective ingredients that help support your skin barrier and moisture levels.

How does Lapachol work differently than other ingredients commonly used to reduce redness?
"Many anti-redness ingredients, like Bisabolol, Centella Asiatica, and Licochalcone A work at the surface to reduce inflammation. Lapachol works at the source, it inhibits Cul4A, a protein that suppresses the skin's own DNA repair capacity, effectively unlocking the cell's ability to repair the damage that causes persistent redness in the first place. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, and supports your skin's natural DNA repair process, helping to optimize DNA repair and visibly calming redness and irritation over time."
What clinical research supports the use of Lapachol for facial redness?
"In an eight week study, 96% of subjects showed improvement in skin redness. In a published peer-reviewed study, Lapachol reduced facial erythema confirmed by both investigator assessment and instrument measurement across three studies involving 75 subjects, 92% showed improvement with zero adverse events.
In 2024, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zoe Draelos, MD published “The Clinical Efficacy of Lapachol in Facial Redness Reduction” in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, which describes the impact of lapachol on improving skin health and redness. You can read the article here: The Clinical Efficacy of Lapachol in Facial Redness Reduction - Draelos - 2024 - Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology - Wiley Online Library."
*In a dermatologist-led clinical study, DNA Repair Complex was clinically proven to reduce redness in 96% of subjects observed for improvement.
Why is DNA Repair Complex a great option for sensitive and redness-prone skin?
"If that's not enough, DNA Repair Complex has also been awarded the National Rosacea Society Seal of Acceptance. It's fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, so whether you're dealing with rosacea, post-procedure redness, or just reactive skin that needs a reset, it can be used by all skin types."
