No. 4: Eucerin Redness Relief Redness Reducing Concealer, $17 There's nothing like too much redness around your nose and on your cheeks to ruin even the cutest, trendiest makeup look. Enter this concealer. It contains licochaicone, an extract of licorice root that helps even out red, blotchy skin instantly.

The fragrance-free, oil-free, non-irritating formula works well even on the most sensitive skin, say Total Beauty readers. "This concealer is the best I've found for covering the redness caused by rosacea," says one reader. Another raves: "Even after a 4-mile run it helps neutralize the redness before I apply my makeup. I have tried many green-tinted concealers, but this one is easiest to use, longest lasting, and clearly the best."

Double duty products are my favorites. Products need to improve my skin, not just cover the problems.

I see a couple items here I'm going to try. Thanks for the advice!

I was surprised to read that Eucerine has a concealer product. I do not suffer from rosacea myself, but I have a daughter that does and It think this would be awesome to try. Eucerine is a brand that my Dermatologist recommends for dry skin including eczema and rosacea so I am anxious to give it a whirl and see if it really does work. I am also a fan of Neutrogena, but I have not tried their concealers yet. Guess it's time to expand my horizons and try something new. Thank you for the great ideas!
