I'm really stressed about the redness on my cheeks. I've tried several medications like isotretinoin 0.05, glocin gel, Vicco turmeric skin cream, benzoyl peroxide gel, clindamycin phosphate gel, and even diprovate, but nothing seems to work. I've consulted with a couple of doctors, but the redness just won't go away. Its really affecting my confidence, and to make it worse, my skin is super sensitive. Could you guide me on which of these might be the best option for me, or suggest something else that might help?

Given your sensitive skin, I recommend trying a gentle and soothing gel like "Avene Antirougeurs Calm Soothing Repair Mask". Apply a thin layer of this gel on your cheeks after cleansing your face, and leave it on for the recommended duration. This gel is specifically formulated to reduce redness and calm sensitive skin. Additionally, you can consider using a mild cleanser and moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin to help manage the redness. Remember to patch test any new product before applying it to your entire face to ensure compatibility with your skin.
