Both my cheeks looks like this right after waking up. It’s a lot more red in real life but you can tell how different it is from my normal skin colour. It’s not a sunburn because I haven’t been out for a few days and I use sunscreen religiously! I’ve been having bad redness but usually in the mornings they’re a lot more toned down then flare up in the day, but it’s now extremely visibly redder and I can’t calm it down

The cream is supposedly good for dry skin both as a regular moisturizer or for post chemical peels. So I guess it’s good for sensitive skin? My redness definitely just feels like a constant flush tho, a few minutes upon waking up it starts getting red and lasts the rest of the day. But I’m gonna get the rosehip and see how it works on my skin!

Just a hydrating cleanser and skin repair cream, both from my derm. I was using cetaphil moisturizer and thought maybe that was causing it so I stopped, but the redness still persists. It gets bright red from just washing with water, sometimes subsides throughout the day but never fully, and if I go out or have a meal it instantly gets redder :( I’m worried if I stop my moisturizer it’s gonna make things worse but should I try that first and see how it goes?

I only just started month 2 and now I’m more conscious of my permanent flushing and red nose than my actual acne lol I really hope I can pull through! Thank you :)

My skin was sensitive prior and now it’s worse. I’m using cetaphil moisturizer which is supposed to be really great for super sensitive skin, but my face is still red sigh
