Redness1 expert

“The Dr.G R.E.D Blemish Clear Soothing Cream is more of a gel cream with a watery texture, ceramides, skin-soothing ingredients and panthenol, which is great to bring down redness in the skin, something I suffer from especially in winter and spring.”

"And it is the exact recipe for imbalanced skin. You're going to comfort the dry areas on your skin, but you're also going to replenish the more oily areas on your skin without overwhelming either one of them. It is the perfect solution because combo skin is literally two-in-one skin. That's why it's so complicated. And this product is literally two in one, a toner and essence, as well as a hydrating and moisturizing product in one. It's exactly what you need. You don't need to complicate things."

"This is one of the most innovative vitamin C's to come out of the Korean skincare market and it's a bestseller for a reason. It's genuinely so so good."

"This one feels more like a light gel compared to the other one, which feels [...] more like a [...] cream. On my skin I felt the Dr G soothing cream lasted a little longer, so I gave it the slightly better point."

"Dr.G takes longer to absorb and dries out faster. [...] However, I cannot agree that this relieves acne like they say. It is a shame that it comes in a jar, it would be nicer if it was a tube because that is more hygienic."

"I recommend the Dr.G Red Blemish Clear Soothing Cream for all skin types in the summer, though for very dry skin it might not be enough moisture, while oily skin can use it all year round. I used it a while ago and tried it again, and I was pretty surprised because the moisturizing was pretty good. Except for really really dry skin, it's overall pretty good, especially for guys and teenagers."

"Last step is the Dr. G RED Blemish Clear Soothing Cream, which contrary to what the name would make you suspect is not really something with blemish fighting actives, but instead a very hydrating formula with soothing Panthenol and Centella Asiatica Extract that, at least that is what I tell myself, helps keep the overall redness in my skin down."

"It's lightweight, it absorbs really quickly but it doesn't cake. [...] It doesn't leave a white cast and actually has once it's absorbed this hydrating and semi-dewy finish which I love. This has been one of my favorites because if you struggle with mineral sunscreens, if you hate that feeling of your skin feeling dry and tight, this one doesn't cake."

"However it is ultimately just a little bit too light for me, [...] it sits between acting as a serum and acting as a cream. If you have normal to combination or oily skin I think this could be a cream for you, but for me it's just not quite enough. [...] It's also a little expensive, I've seen it for around 25 to 30 dollars, not terrible but more than I think you might need to pay for that kind of an ingredients blend."

"I'm really hopeful for this sunscreen because I've been looking for a non-tinted sunscreen that's lightweight and easy to use and looks good under makeup without leaving a white cast. [...] It's a nice looking sunscreen [...] and it feels really nice on the skin. It's not super duper shiny, but it is leaving a little bit of a white cast. After 20 minutes it did calm down a bit, and [...] the finish is [...] beautiful. [...] It feels so good on the skin."

"I bought this when I went to Korea [...] last year and used it all up and absolutely loved it. [...] If you have acne, if you have like painful wounds on your skin, if you've [...] picked your spots a lot or maybe your acne does get a little bit irritated, rosacea, easy irritated skin, this is an amazing moisturizer to go for. It's a Centella asiatica kind of base moisturizer and it contains like pretty much all the Centella plant so you get all your types of Centella asiatica."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
