Olay targeted tone enhancer and Neutrogena Visibly Even
  • Hi BB,

    I've been trying to find a product that will help make my nose a normal color. For years, it's been bright red! It's a little embarrassing, especially since everyone constantly asks me if I have a cold when I don't! I've been using Olay Targeted Tone Enhancer and Neutrogena Visibly Even moisturizer with SPF 30 and I'm not sure that they're working. The combination of the two seem to be working a little on my blotchy cheeks, but nothing has affected my nose. Am I just wasting my money? Is there something short of a chemical peel that will work?

    Thanks!
  • Bump! :)

    I've seen some pretty good results from using just the Olay product, but I'm wondering if it's just because of sunscreen or I'm fooling myself. Here are the ingredients:

  • Is your redness a result of rosacea? Sorry, I have no answer for you, just curious?
  • Yes I'm wondering if it's rosacea as well. I'm an esthetician and that's the first thing that popped in my head when I heard "red nose".
