Rambokay 0 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think have pretty bad facial redness because of the hell I've put my face through trying to get rid of acne. Are there any tried and proven over the counter methods of getting rid of moderate facial redness. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noche 84 Share Posted January 16, 2015 @RamboKay....you just have to let the skin heal . It's very hard to find something to calm the redness,moisturizer can help but if you have problems with breakouts ,the moisturizer can help the redness but cause breakouts. Olay total effects for sensitive skin ,no spf is soothing. Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion. Dual action moisturizer oil free from clean and clear,my favorite,and if the menthol feeling sensation doesn't go away ,turn on the drier in low setting and blow a little over the face ,not too close,you dont want to get burn. Those have worked for me. Hydrocortisone blocks my pores. Benadryl gel pill helps ,just make sure that you can take it ,look at the instructions for instructions and drug interactions.

Rambokay 0 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've tried moisturizer and it doesn't do much for the redness and it does cause slight breakouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamB 11 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I don't think I have rosacea either, I'm just really pale and use benzoyl peroxide and am therefore prone to getting redness lol. Atm I've been using cliniderm's soothing lotion and it seems to help a little bit (not a lot though). I know Cliniderm makes a cream specifically for people with rosacea though, I'm not entirely sure how it works ingredient wise or anything but it might be worth looking into. Also I've heard that pure aloe vera gel can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamB 11 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Hope it works out for you :3. Yeah, I'm actually starting to question whether I have rosacea or not myself... if I do it's more mild like I don't get blisters or anything from it but if I'm not wearing makeup it's noticeable that my face flushes pretty easily from being a bit too warm, embarrassed lol, drinking wine, etc. Edited January 30, 2015 by SamB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aballarina 21 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Eucerin Redness Relief Its a moisturizer with a slight green tint that balances out the redness. I found this worked for me while I took Accutane and had quite a red face! Also, if I wasn't moisturizing properly and my skin was dry it was always redder. I also try to wash my face with luke warm water then cold at the end to avoid the red too:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
