Clin Dermatol. 2014 Nov-Dec;32(6):809-12. doi: 10.1016/j.clindermatol.2014.02.020. Epub 2014 Oct 29.

Abstract

Facial skin care products and cosmetics can both aid or incite facial dermatoses. Properly selected skin care can create an environment for barrier repair aiding in the re-establishment of a healing biofilm and diminution of facial redness; however, skin care products that aggressively remove intercellular lipids or cause irritation must be eliminated before the red face will resolve. Cosmetics are an additive variable either aiding or challenging facial skin health.
