Overall Redness On Face?

So I have been following the regimen for several months now using a Cetaphil face cleanser, 10% BP, and a Neutrogena face moisturizer. The improvement isn't great, but it definitely has improved some over the past few months. What is just as bad, or even worse than the acne though is the overall redness that covers most of my face. It's a deep red color that covers most of my face and cheeks. Could this be from the 10% BP and I should lower to a 2.5%? Is there a moisturizer that is non comedogenic that could help reduce the redness? Any and all advice is welcomed. Thanks!!

10% BP is very harsh. A 2.5% formula is much gentler on acne-prone skin and just as effective as a 10% formula minus the harshness. I would highly recommend switching to a 2.5% BP, such as the one on this website. Neutrogena On-The-Spot 2.5% BP is also available at most drugstores and probably Walmart or Target.

Good luck with whatever you decide! :)

yeah the 10% bp is whats causing the redness 10% is used for spot treatment defenitly go down to 2.5%. A great moisturizer is aveeno daily oisturizeri forget what its called. Should try retin-a it defenitly worked better for me than bp ever did
