I have been using acne products to get rid of my acne...umm and they have caused my face to become red. Are there any way to get rid of redness besides using foundation and concealer

If you have a really bad pimple put Visine on it and let it sit and do not rinse off. It will take the redness out. You can also mix equal amounts lemon and salt and make a paste and put it on and let it sit for 10 mins and then rinse off. That should help too.

Your skin is probably sensitive to the Benzoyl Peroxide in these products. You should see a dermatologist who can give recommend or prescribe something which is more mild and won't affect your skin as much. The doctor can also inject your acne with cortisone shots. It stings for a moment, but works extremely well to shrink pimples, especially those really big annoying ones! Face peels also help out acne as well. The best thing to do is see a dermatologist and see what he/she recommends.

Redness is a sign the products are working.
You need to be sure to use a really good sunscreen, every day, rain or shine, indoors or out.
I like Ecerin (sp?) SPF 30.
