I am a month off Accutane after a 4-month treatment. The skin looks better now, not a single pimple since (touch wood) just scarring left. The problem is I am having this redness around my cheeks and these  IMAG0090.jpg   465.69K   57 downloadsarched red lines below my eyes. It gets worse after heavy physical exercising or staying in the sun .
It looks worse than in the picture (from my phone) , but you can probably see the line under my eye.
I think it might be an early stage of Rosacea?

I'd also like to ask you what will be the best treatment for this type of scarring like the one on my forehead left from previous acne? Same story here, it gets worse after exercising and staying in the sun. I started using Murad SPF 15 Oil - Control Mattifier to try protect my skin. I chose this one because it's a moisturizer and sunscreen in one, is it any good or it's better to take seperately moisturizer and sunscreen?

Thanks in advance.

As for your question for the redness, I had the same redness post Accutane. From reading and hearing, almost everyone would get some degree of redness or blush while on Accuatne. My experience was it did went away but IT TOOK TIME. Took 12 month for my cheeks to get back to normal. I noticed the sun and exercise would make me flush really bad, the redness would last a couple of days after wards. I just stopped all exercise and would only go out at night until my skin was stronger. Keep in mind your skin is still delicate from Accuatne. The product I used and still using is Rosacea Care serum with Willowherb. Research Willowherb, it will get your attention. Helps alot for redness and inflammation. Time flies, by the time you know it your skin will be back to normal. As they say "time is a great healer
