Facial Redness & Irritation Solutions?
Permalink Closed


In the winter especially, parts of my face get extra red no matter what I do.
Before I go to a derm, I wanted to check if anyone has any recommendations.
Has anyone tried Clinique's CX Redness Relief cream?
Or Eucerin redness relief products?
Any other suggestions?
I have sensitive skin & currently use Cetaphil cleanser & moisturizer as well as Clinique's Dramatically different moisturizing gel (love, love this product).
TIA!

I just went to the derm for this (Thursday, in fact!).  She recommended that I switch my cleanser to Dove's Sensitive Skin beauty bar and use Cetaphil's moisturizer.  I really didn't think the switching of cleansers would help that much to be honest, but I've noticed a BIG difference using the Dove beauty bar, even in three days.  HTH!

Aveeno makes a face wash and moisterizer that reduces redness, I haven't tried it but I always hear good things about Aveeno.  Plus the face wash was only $6.


Here are the products on drugstore.com

I second Aveeno. I've been using it, and have noticed a big difference in the lack of redness in my face.

I have this same problem and have been seeing the dermatologist for this for at least a year now.  There wasn't really anything he recommended as far as face wash and moisturizers.  But I did start getting laser treatments done.  And i can not tell you how much they helped my skin.  I have no redness now after having a laser treatment once or twice a month for about 6 months.  And it made my skin super smooth, and since im in my 20's it will also help get rid of and prevent future wrinkles :)


This was the only solution that was able to clear up my redness.

I third the Aveeno. My face gets red, especially in the winter. After a week, the results were amazing. Even my nose, which gets red right away, is clear. I don't know how they did it, but it works!

What about spot treating....I really like this Now Vitamin E cream.  You can even use it around your eyes.
