REDNESS HELP

Adelina — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 20:09:01 GMT

For some reason my skin is very sensitive this summer. I slather on SPF but the heat still seems to be playing havoc with it. Or maybe it is the extremes in weather.

I forgot that I had ordered some samples of Paula's Choice Redness Relief, and when I discovered them I used them last night and this morning. I would highly recommend this for those who have a redness problem.

I think it will be on my "must-have-on-hand-at-all-times" list from now on.

Has anyone else tried this?

Adelina..

Lol

Anyway, I have read a post awhile back where several people discussed how they liked that product. It is certainly one I will look into if I have the occasional redness again. Glad it works for you and thanks for your review!

Yes, I've also posted about this one. I think it has quite a few fans here. So happy it worked for you!

I usually use this in the morning, but if I'm experiencing a lot of redness, I'll use it at night and in the morning. I was very pleased because it worked much better than expected. So many other redness things have been a let down in the past.

I read about it on these boards and have been using it for about two months. Blow me over with a feather, this stuff actually works!

okay with so many rave reviews from those I respect regarding skincare, I guess I will have to try it out. *rolls eyes*

Like ChynnaBlue said, sooo many anti-redness products say they work and they never do.

I am being lazy and know I can look it up but is this just like a moisturizer that you put on say, under your spf or over or??

TIA!

ETA: I was a bit worried about the oatmeal perhaps being a little drying for those of us with drier skin. I can't remember- does anyone who used it have skin that tends to be on the drier side? Any issues?

I, too, have facial redness but it has been greatly reduced once I discovered through skin testing that I'm allergic to propylene glycol (propanediol) and fragrance as well as several other common cosmetic ingredients. My rosacea doesn't appear as aggravated since I've stopped using anything that contains them. I even had to change my rosacea meds as they also had the irritating ingredients. The only topical one I can use is MetroCREAM as Metrogel and Finacea contained propylene glycol.

Unfortunately, even though I enjoy Paula's products, there are several that include propylene glycol - her Redness Relief being one of them.

I wonder how many others experience facial redness due to propylene glycol and/or fragrance. I would have never suspected them until my derm perfomed the skin tests, which resulted in intense redness/itching from the propylene glycol and tiny blisters from the fragrance.

Hope this info is helpful to some of you.
