Best products for blackheads or redness?

For blackheads, a BHA lotion is bomb. Paula's Choice has a great BHA formula, as does CVS in their Skin+Pharmacy line.
As for redness, the Eucerin Redness relief is very gentle and I like it. They have washes and creams. Paula's Choice also has a redness relief toner.

Clinique has their "Redness Solutions"..incuding a cleanser. You can swing by a counter for a sample.

At home, for blackheads, you can mix 1 part Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to 3 parts water. Shake it up and dab on your blackheads with a cottonball. I'd be sure to test patch your skin, as always and tone every day.

Also, read the labels of what you are currently using. Try to reduce drying alcohols, perfumes, high percentages of witch hazel and menthol. This can all trigger redness in certain skin. You may enjoy a mask of Plain Greek Yogurt and or Raw Manuka honey mixed with Evening Primrose Oil. Primrose calms skin and is acne friendly. Again..always test patch your skin.

Hope that helps!
