does anyone know if moisterizers really reduce redness or is just going all natural better? I seem to think that moisterizers do help, but then again, I have rarely gone without.

I don't know that they help reduce redness (Maybe some have ingredients that do. Aloe gel claims to moisturise and also can help heal). I try to always use it though. I'm using a skin firming moisturiser that I noticed has Alpha Hydroxy Acid which is supposed to be good for skin. (On my face I use a moisturiser wish sunscreen).
I think it does help reduce blemishes because the way we tend to shower and wash at least once a day, we wash away our natural skin oils that help keep the skin soft. Having dried out skin can make the skin's oil glands go into overdrive and pores can get clogged. Just make sure your moisturizer says it is non-comedogenic (I think I spelled that right. It means it won't clog pores) if you are prone to break-outs.
Cosmetics and treatments with salicylic acid (basically asprin) can reduce redness. I'm not too sure about how great they are for skin but I use them, and I also moisturise.

aloe vera is meant to be good though i havent as yet used it...cos its a natural thing. It softens and helps the healing process  |

Eucerin makes a redness reducing moisturizer that works pretty well. It has SPF and a greenish tint to help cancel out the red. They carry it at my local pharmacy.

moisturizers can be good for healing atleast. keeping scabs and edges of wounds soft will help prevent scarring

I was browsing the discussion board skinpicking.proboards6.com and there is a WHOLE thread of discussion about dissolving aspirin tablets in water and applying it as a mask. They say it works, and I mentioned that I thought that salicylic acid was a kind of aspirin, so that wouldn't be surprising. |

not everybody needs a moisturizer, after you wash your face and let it dry if it feels really tight then you do....but maybe not on all of your face, only on the areas of your face that feel dry...my skin is looking so much better since I stopped using moisturizer and I am using a very gently cleanser...I had been using a moisturizer when I didnt need it.
