Last night I used cliniques pore minimizer for the first time, and i woke up this morning and my face was bright red! I have a tiny bumps all over my face and im not sure whether they are acne, or a rash.
Im confused as to whether or not i should cover this with makeup straight away (because I do have to go out later), or should I try something to take away the redness?

Number one do not use the product again and take it back to the store.
Try to avoid soap or any irritatent on your face, you can try Avene or Aveno for the redness. Try not to rub or scratch at it And do not use hot water, just cool clothes.
aloe Vera might help as well.

I am really sorry that happened to you!!
I have such sensative skin, I'm used to that red skin.
I know they will be morethan happy to take it back and keep you happy though, I have had to return a complete skin care system to them......and had no problems.

I hope you are feeling better today!!

if u don't have any whiteheads or blackheads then its not acne - probably a allergic reaction.
Try cleansing your face with milk - its very soothing for the skin or cleans ur skin with aloe vera oil or vitamin E oil and hopefully the redness will be gone.

thankyou everyone, yes the rash has gone down significantly, and theres just a few spots of irritation left, which is not big deal.
thankyou again for all your tips, they have worked wonders, especially cleansing with milk.
