Question about redness

[qwerty87 0]

I had been on tazorac for a while and noticed about a week and a half ago that it made my face really red, so i stopped it and started using 2.5% bp instead. so far it seems to be working a little better. anyways. how do I get rid of the redness caused by the tazorac? in the spots I applied the tazorac it is redder than the other spots, In other words, most of my face has a red tint except for the clear white colored skin (my normal skin color) around my eyes and on the lower back parts of my cheeks where i never got acne. Also will the BP make the redness worse? is there any treatment for acne without a side effect of redness?

also I normally have pale white skin if that helps at all

If it's just short term redness from the tazorac it should it should go away once you stop, or your skin gets used to it. BP can have redness associated with it too, however, if your skin isn't used to it. Most acne treatments are topical so there will always be a possibility of temporary redness. Of the top of my head blue light therapy and antibiotics are two treatments that shouldn't cause redness.
