Other methods for redness relief
For inflammation due to exfoliation, consider a bland cleanser twice daily, such as CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, $13.79, or Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydrating Facial Cleanser, $8.29. "A moisturizing lotion should also help protect and repair, like Aveeno Ultra-Calming Nourishing Night Cream, $16.57, or La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Facial Moisturizer with SPF, $19.99," says Dr. Lain. "For an allergic reaction, the same cleansers are suitable, but also consider applying hydrocortisone cream 1 percent twice daily after cleansing. Be careful to only use the hydrocortisone for 3-5 days; if the redness persists, stop using the hydrocortisone and seek advice from a dermatologist."
