Get rid of redness left by spots.

[Originalusername01]

I've had a few breakouts over the lockdown and I picked at a few spots and they've left redness which I cant seem to get rid off. Can anyone recommend a product to get rid of these or help improve? Preferably under £20 . TIA

The Ordinary L Ascorbic acid powder and The Ordinary Alfa arbutin - potent together - really help to clear my acne scars.

I have found a couple of things helpful but under 30 rather than 20. Origins Mega Mushroom Relief and Paula's Choice BHA exfoliant. Haven't tried those Ordinary products but I have others and they're very reasonably priced.

Paula's Choice salicylic (get the travel size) or a product with azalaic acid.

Second the azelaic acid acid suggestion - the Garden of Wisdom (at Victoria Health) one worked really well for me (£10). The Ordinary also does one, which is cheaper IIRC, but I found the GoW one better.

Thanks everyone. Have invested in some of the ordinary products. Day 2 of using them. Hopefully some results in the next week :)

I would be really interested in your feedback. My skin is exactly the same as you described

I'd be interested in how you get on as well. I was just thinking about how I've finally cleared my skin up but it still looks as bad because of the redness.
