Dermatologists and shoppers swear by these soothing formulas to treat redness caused by eczema and rosacea flare-ups, plus redness related to harsh weather. Shop nine solutions to redness at Amazon.

Starting at $10.

Facial redness is attributable to a myriad of causes, including inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and rosacea. That said, “even ‘normal’ skin can become red,” dermatologic surgeon Dr. Howard Sobel, M.D., tells InStyle in the face of “cold and dry air.”

Specifically, harsh weather—which many people are already experiencing with autumn’s onset—can compromise the all-important skin barrier, dermatologist Dr. David Kim, M.D., tells InStyle, leaving skin “red, inflamed, and irritated.” 

Regardless of its root cause, skin redness is hardly fun. Luckily, solutions exist—and many are surprisingly fast-acting. Below, nine redness-relieving formulas with dermatologist approval and shopper acclaim, starting at $10.

Dr. Sobel praises this $12 over-the-counter eczema treatment, which he recommends to patients with redness related to flare-ups. Shoppers concur on its redness-relieving properties; according to one reviewer, whose skin had been “bright red,” this cream “cleared up” their issues. Another shopper called the cream “a small miracle” in light of how it mitigated their “itchy, red, inflamed” skin.

Among the ingredients for redness Dr. Kim recommends? Centella asiatica—the star ingredient in this popular K-beauty moisturizer. Also known as tiger grass, the anti-inflammatory ingredient is praised for its redness-relieving properties. Case in point: My best friend, whose skin is prone to eczema flare ups and blotchy redness, texted me excitedly about this moisturizer just yesterday, praising its calming qualities.

Aveeno Calm and Restore Gel Moisturizer 

$27 $19 at Amazon

Dr. Kim recommends this lightweight moisturizer in light of its key ingredient, oat extract. Oat can “calm and soothe the skin” thanks to its anti-inflammatory benefits, Dr. Kim explained, rendering it “less red and itchy.” Added Dr. Sobel, the ingredient also “protects the skin barrier.” One reviewer said the $19 moisturizer “calms” their facial redness and leaves them “hydrated and smooth.” Another shopper said their facial redness looked “significantly better” after only a “few days” of integrating the cream into their routine. 

Naturium Azelaic Acid Emulsion 10% Niacinamide Serum

$22 at Amazon

As it pertains to redness relief, fragrance-free formulas are ideal, Dr. Sobel said. This serum checks that box; plus, it contains azelaic acid, a powerful queller of crimson skin of many origins. One shopper reported less “splotchy redness” thanks to the formula, while another called it a “life-changer” for mitigating redness associated with rosacea flare-ups. A final fan reported their “cheeks were no longer red” after three days of using the serum, concluding that it “works wonders.” 

Cetaphil Redness Relieving Night Cream

$16 $10 at Amazon

This shopper-loved solution is packed with ceramides—soothing lipids Dr. Kim recommends for treating redness that results from skin barrier damage. Allantoin, a soothing staple often found in eczema relief creams, is also present, as is moisturizing panthenol, a.k.a. vitamin B5.  In the brand’s words, the formula “visibly reduce[s] redness overnight”—a claim that one reviewer, whose redness is “difficult” to treat, corroborated with before and after pictures.
