I've been using the L'Oreal Nude Magique anti-redness CC cream (green tube with the purple shiny lid) for the past week. And it's amazing (in the real sense of the word!).
It completely tones down my redness, doesn't cling to the dry patches and stays on all day. I've had two people mention how good my skin looks this week, and usually I spend far too much a bit on foundation. I think it's £9.99, so not megabucks, and well worth it.
