Is this rosacea or hyperpigmentation?

So, I started off with benzoyl peroxide last year and it made my cheeks full red, a bit under my eyes and this has stayed on from then till now. I finished my Isotretinoin course and have been told by my doc to get adaferin cream and apply it every night for the redness and scars. Has anyone had any previous experience with this? Also what would you recommend me?

This looks like hyperpigmentation to me. Rosacea only afflicts people over 30. I don't know your age but you look well under 30.

Let us know how things go.

I think you meant to say that "Rosacea typically affects people age 30 or over". Rosacea can strike people at any age. Please refer to the rosacea awareness month article for more information.
