There are lots of reasons why people experience facial redness, ranging from chronic skin conditions like dry skin, rosacea and acne, to temporary skin irritations like sunburn. Redness is also one of the side effects of retinol usage. If you’re unsure about what’s to blame for your redness, your general doctor or dermatologist will be able to diagnose it for you.

Ask any dermatologist and they’ll tell you the key to reducing redness on your face is to keep it soothed and protected. Look for gentle skincare essentials infused with ceramides to help strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier and skin-calming ingredients like colloidal oatmeal. Of course, using proper SPF protection every day—regardless of sun exposure—is extremely important too.

You’re smart to start by applying a face serum for redness-prone skin. Follow up with a sensitive skin moisturizer. Apply both products morning and night to help neutralize the look of facial redness while also delivering deep hydration to your skin.
