I really like Aveeno's Calm and Restore Their Redness Relief Moisturizing cream because it is loaded in feverfew, which is a really potent antioxidant which has actually been used historically for migraines to reduce inflammation overall. If your redness right is due to an inflammatory process and you have Post inflammatory erythema, I.e. post inflammatory redness that can become brown spots. I like Eucerin's Redness Relief night cream because it has the cold chunk alcohol which is basically licorice root extract. And you can find that same ingredient in the major fade hyperserum by Dr. Idris. And if you are somebody who gets flushed quite regularly, rose water is great. This is one where they mix rose water and glycerin. If you guys have followed me, I'm Lebanese. I make this as a diy. I put it in a mixture. I make just enough for a single use because they have no preservatives when I make it. There's probably preservatives in here. Rose water is great to reduce the inflammatory process.
