Vandergraf 0 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have huge pores on my cheeks/nose and redness along those areas too. I used to be on the regimen which did reduce my acne but did nothing for the redness on my face. Right now I just use the C&C foaming cleanser and Cetaphil moisturizer. It seems that lots of people have had success with chemical peels. Are they prescriptions only or can one get it over the counter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HapaMommy 11 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It depends. Is the redness a result of inflammation, PIH or irritation? If it's not inflamed or irritated and it's just PIH than a chemical peel could help. Otherwise, a peel could cause further irritation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vandergraf 0 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I believe PIH since I've had this redness for a long time and nothing I've done over the years has really changed it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FlowerGirl1234 76 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've had chemical peels done before, but unfortunately they don't shrink your pores. I know, it sucks! The only they've for me was tighten my skin a little, but that went away after a week. They also made my chin break out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
