The 27 Best Redness-Reducing Products of 2024

Say goodbye to rosy cheeks and red blotches.

By Allie Hogan, Senior Beauty Editor · Updated: Mar 29, 2024

Growing up with rosacea and middle-school bullies pointing out it looked like I was “wearing too much blush” sent me reaching for redness-reducing products the first chance I got. Now that I’m more knowledgeable about the skin-care world, I’m able to pinpoint the ingredients and products that actually do what they promise and promote a more even skin tone.

Green often means go for it when it comes to redness-reducing products since the two colors are opposite each other on the color wheel, thereby canceling each other out. I also look for skin-soothing ingredients like cica, oatmeal and niacinamide. Whether you’re just looking for skin-care solutions or you’re desperate to find makeup to conceal your redness, these products will be your redness-prone skin’s new best friend.
