Redness on my cheeks

4 replies

I have developed some redness on my cheeks, it's only on cheeks. Usually I have acne prone combination skin. I am brown skinned. Sorry I don't know how to upload pics but could this be rosacea? My routine is

Am
Cerave smoothening cleanser
Cetaphil lotion
Medik 8 vit C
Lrp sun lotion

Same cleaner
Medik retinol (only twice a week at night)
Rosehip oil or cetaphil depending on how dry skin feels

I am wondering if something could be causing this? Does anyone have any product recommendations for redness? Is Clinique redness solution any good?

Start by removing the Vit C from your routine and it will probably clear up

And the retinol

Thanks, have stopped both today and using Cerave wash and cetaphil lotion. Should I stop the rosehip oil too?

Cerave SA is gentle but if I use it in the morning after retinol from the night before it stings. But if I use it in the evening before applying retinol then it's fine.

You need to just pare it all back for now till your skin calms down.

Then use your actives on alternate nights in the evenings as it sounds like you're overdoing it a bit.
