If you want to soothe them aloe Vera gel will work. If you want the redness to temperarily go away eye drops on red blemishes may sound weird but it works. And if you want to combat it with makeup, a green primer or concealer can work before applying foundation

Are you looking for a coverup or like a cleanser to get rid of them?

What type of skin do you have? And could you post a picture of your blemishes so it would be easier to see how bad it is?

It's okay, they don't look too bad! I recommended a toner with aloe in it. What I use is the body shop aloe calming toner and it really reduces redness as well as moisturise. Since you have oily skin, don't over wash your Face! 2 times a day is enough, the body shop also has a cleanser that is aloe based and is foaming so it is gentle. To help with the blemishes use a spot treatment. Since you have oily skin, use a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment, I know clean and clear has one. It's going to dry out your pimples but since you have oily skin it balances out. Remember since your acne is red it can also mean it's irritated so in order to help it you want to soothe it. Also make sure to moisturise! I recommended aveeno clear complexion moisturiser. It's really light and will help your acne!

Oh and also, if you wear face makeup , your acne may worsen from that as well. I recommended a green primer to combat the redness while also building a protective layer between your skin and the makeup. Smashbox is an example of one. LAST THING! If you can't get the body shop products, I think the brand yes to cucumbers will work for you. They have cleansing wipes that are soothing and natural. Also, it's a drugstore brand so it's a cheaper alternative

Well I don't really wear makeup anymore so that shouldn't be a problem. & where can I get the toner with aloe Vera in it? My face isn't like oily oily but since its so hot in my house I get sweaty

No problem! And I'm glad for it to be helpful. The toner is from 'the body shop' and is like 13-14 dollars I believe. It's super moisturizing and soothing , but not adding excess oil, so I hope it'll work for you. I would take a picture of what it looks like, but I'm out of town right now.

No it's fine I'll look it up I just hope they have it here because it doesn't sound familiar. have you ever put the aloe Vera gel on your face before?

Nope I haven't! But, the toner has aloe Vera gel in it so I'm not sure if that counts 😂. But what I know it's very soothing to the skin when it comes to irritation and redness!

I tried this yesterday I have combination skin sometimes a bit oily other times dry. I took two tiny squirts of moringa oil rubbed my hands together and put all over my face and left overnight. my skin looks way better this morning I barely have any red blemishes its not oily at all. there's a editorial from a week or so back on here about using oil.

Girl, I used I have the same issues! I would soooo recommend "Minocyclin". It's an anti-biotic pill that you take twice a day. It kills the acne bacteria and it works so well! Now my skin is so clear.
