In lighter skin types, the spots left by blemishes appear red, caused by dilated blood vessels under the skin and residual inflammation, explains Gohara. A retinoid can help (by keeping the pore healthy, it also helps create healthy new skin cells in the process, she says), though for red discoloration, in-office solutions are your best bet. "Light-based treatments, such as IPL or lasers, can target those blood vessels to help minimize the redness," explains Jamal.
