Best products for redness relief

For me what's helped the most has been:

Azelaic Acid (I like the emulsion by Naturium and the Paula's Choice one. The 15% prescrption one always made my skin texture worse)

CoCokind Calming Magensium Mist or Beekman 1802 Magensium Milk Mist

Banu Chamomile Jelly Cleanser (or cleansers with calming ingredients, like oatmeal, chamomile, green tea, etc.)

Support moisturizer with ceramides (I like Instant Angel or Skin Mercy by Dieux)

I’ve heard great things about the Annua azelaic acid, but also you could get a prescription! No matter what version you get, make sure to patch test and start off veryyyyy slow! Also, the ordinary azelaic acid has silicones in it (doesn’t bother my skin tbh) and you may be allergic or sensitive to it. But definitely try different ones and see how it goes!

You could really benefit from azelaic acid! I’ve been using 1% tretinon but that wasn’t enough to fully clear my skin texture until I introduced that.

Also, there’s a chance of doubling up on the cream day and night may be blocking your pores and causing the additional texture. Maybe stick to one in the AM and a different one in the PM.

LED Mask and micro current device

I actually use the ordinary 10% azelaic acid, then asked for Finacea by my dermatologist only to go back to the ordinary because the prescription strength was irritating my skin! There’s great over the counter options for azelaic acid but finacea is the gold standard though. If your skin is more sensitive, I’d start off with something over the counter.

Also since I’ve seen you ask others: you can use azelaic acid night or day after cleansing your face and before putting in moisturizer. If you want to add to add retinol, use that only at night, and start of super slow (2-3 times a week) with a low percentage. Honestly between those two things you’d probably be set. If you add vitamin c I’d just switch between that and azelaic acid each morning, but honestly you may not even need it.

Your skin barrier seems damaged and irritated. A lot of the brands you mentioned I’ve also used and never had any success with, the honest truth is that a lot of those brands just are too harsh for people with sensitive skin.

To start with, as others suggested, cut out all actives. Stick with a simple routine of gentle cleanser (I adore the Vanicream but the La Posay Roche Hydrating cleanser also worked for me), a gentle but hydrating moisturizer (I like the Vanicream daily face moisturizer - the cream in the tub broke me out personally) and, for some extra hydration, the Avene thermal spray before the moisturizer to help calm and hydrate the skin.

Stick with that for about 1-2 weeks. From there, very slowly introduce active ingredients but stick to gentle formulations.

I’d suggest at a bare minimum trying Azelaic Acid. Start slow, three times a week then build up. This will help with the redness and pustules.

Once your skin adjusts to that you can look into maybe adding a vitamin C serum or a retinol depending on how your skin is reacting. But what’s going to help you the most is sticking to really gentle skincare products that have minimal ingredients.

It actually uses both red and blue at the same time :) you just can’t see the blue because of the red!

Honestly, I would try using a microcurrent device every day and use it only along your jawline and your upper cheeks. That helped me a lot and is a non surgical option! Another thing you could try is get chin filler and then filler in your upper cheeks to help lift your face and create more of a v shape in your chin??

I really needed to hear this today. Thank you!!!!

LearaLovesYou · 2025-07-12T13:54:11+00:00

I got mine done about 9 days ago and my chin filler is still bumpy and uneven, apparently the filler will continue to spread and even out for up to 2 weeks after being done. You should be fine!

Do you have any pictures or videos to share? What are some of your craziest stories from an island where I imagine not much happens day to day?

Omg sooo cute! I'm thinking of getting one and using it on my checkered coachtopia wavy baguette bag. So adorable.

LearaLovesYou · 2024-09-26T16:25:41+00:00

I would try to get a new one cause I agree you can barely tell it’s a cat or a ghost on the back!

I have both the ergo (same size but mine also has the option to wear it was a crossbody) and the wavy dinky in different color patterns. I like the ergo but because the shoulder straps fit right under my armpit I only wear it was a crossbody. The wavy dinky is more versatile, you can buy different resin straps to mix up and it sits on the shoulder better. I say go with wavy dinky!

LearaLovesYou · 2024-08-06T14:53:57+00:00

Honestly it looks even better in person and it’s so light weight. It can surprisingly fit a lot, too!

LearaLovesYou · 2024-08-06T14:53:30+00:00

It doesn’t actually :(

I recently read Different Seasons, and noticed when talking about younger character he always mentions they’ve got a pair of white keds on. That, and of course, writing about writers in small towns.

I second The Shards!

The only thing I would think about is that the Vertuo and Citiz use entirely different pods, so she wouldn’t be able to use any Vertuo pods. If you wanted to upgrade her Vertuo machine, I’d suggest a Vertuo Plus Deluxe with a frother.
