There are several causes of facial redness, but post-inflammatory erythema, often known as PIE, is what you get if you start to turn red after getting pimples. And treating it can be just as frustrating and difficult as treating the original acne.

Skin that is already red, dry, or peeling shouldn't be exposed to products containing these active ingredients. In this article, we discuss how you can reduce the redness caused by pimples and acne.
