DemoDerm Rosacea Basic Care

The skin is overwhelmed because the cream is being applied too thickly. Our recommendation: Apply DemoDerm Rosacea Basis Pflege more thinly: no residues should be visible. Moisten the skin with water before applying, so that the cream can be applied in an extremely thin layer.
The skin needs more time to get used to the cream. Our recommendation: Initially, reduce the frequency of application. Apply DemoDerm Rosacea Basis Pflege just once every evening. If this reduction does not suffice, apply the cream only once a day every third day to allow the skin to get used to it. Once the skin settles down, shorten the intervals between applications. The overall application period can be increased individually.
The skin begins cleansing itself. Our recommendation: Don’t be put off by a temporary deterioration in the skin's appearance. Flaky and wrinkled, lined skin is a sign of an imbalance of the healthy skin flora. You can tailor this skin detox phase to your individual needs, e.g., by limiting the application of the cream to the evenings only, or by applying the cream more thinly.

Cleansing and care

If DemoDerm Rosacea Basis Pflege doesn’t have the desired effect, the cause is often incorrect or excessive cleansing and care. It’s important to realise that problem skin requires different treatment from healthy skin. Moisturising creams and anti-aging products may be beneficial for healthy skin, but they make it impossible to regenerate problem skin. The rule here is: fewer active substances, fewer ingredients and mild, minimal cleansing. Refrain from using cleansing gels and face lotions and confine yourself to cleansing with (lukewarm) water. If necessary, a skin pH-neutral soap can be used (pH 5.0 - 5.5). Our tip: Cleanse your face using make-up removal pads. The special fibre combination of suitable pads enables the skin to be cleansed using water only. Our motto “Less is more” has proven itself a thousand times over. When you apply DemoDerm Rosacea Basis Pflege, you don’t need any aids or products other than water.

The story of DemoDerm begins in China. The Chinese professor and “skin fanatic” ZhongZhou is regarded as one of the first doctors in the world to succeed in removing even persistent skin impurities. Over 50 years ago, Zhao ZhongZhou identified demodex mites as the cause of persistent skin problems. Over many years of work, he developed the Chinese “ZhongZhou Cream”, which has been proving its worth in the battle against the mites for almost as long.

Over 10 years ago, a patient of co-founder and Agenki partner Dominik Golenhofen visited him at his naturopathic practice and reported an interesting find on the internet: a Chinese cream against skin impurities. According to the patient, it all sounded very promising, and he asked Mr Golenhofen for his expert advice. That very evening, Dominik Golenhofen started searching online for the ZhongZhou Cream from China. He found that it concerned skin mites and a solution for rosacea and acne. As an academic, critical by nature but interested, he had a look at Professor ZhongZhou's research and theories about demodex mites, which are said to occur more frequently in people affected by acne and rosacea.

Despite the convincing results from China, a major challenge still had to be overcome, as the cream did not comply with the guidelines of the European Cosmetics Directive. The formulation of the Chinese cream therefore offered no chance of making the cream available to all the rosacea sufferers in Germany. Demodex Solutions then developed a cream for the German market, with the participation of Dominik Golenhofen. After several years, the big day finally arrived in 2015 – when, under the name DemoDerm Anti Pickel Creme (“anti-pimple cream”), the first jars went on sale in Germany through Agenki GmbH.

Then, in 2020, the next step followed. After Agenki acquired the brand rights to DemoDerm, production was also relocated to Germany. In the course of these changes, a rebranding was carried out. To begin with, the name was changed from DemoDerm Anti Pickel Creme to DemoDerm Rosacea Basis Pflege (“rosacea basic care”); in addition, the cream entered its next generation with a new pastel mint design.

Ever since, DemoDerm cream has been completely developed, produced and manufactured in Germany by Agenki GmbH. The proven active ingredients have been retained: only the excipients (such as preservatives) have been adapted. With the German production site, the quality standard has once again been adapted to the high requirements at the European level.
