Moisturiser making me even MORE red.

I've been following BP 2.5% as advised but on week 6 the redness still has not subsided despite moisturising. Some days are better than others but I don't understand why it is still red...

Applying more moisturiser seems to make my skin even more red and today I missed an end of year party largely down to the embarrassment of my red skin.

Patience has worn so thin that I am tempted to resort to Accutane/whatever it is now branded as from a private derm.

Claror 2.5% BP (seems stronger than 2.5) and I've used both Cetaphil and La Roche-Posay Effaclar H.

Usually yes.
