Hello. For dry and red skin, you should use a gentle, non-foaming, fragrance-free cleanser. Look for face washes containing hydrating ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin, which help restore the skin's moisture barrier. Avoid harsh ingredients like sulfates, alcohol, salicylic acid, and synthetic fragrances, as these can worsen irritation. Brands like CeraVe (Hydrating Cleanser) or Cetaphil (Gentle Skin Cleanser) are excellent, dermatologist-recommended options. Always wash with lukewarm water, pat dry gently, and immediately apply a moisturiser. If redness and dryness persist, please consult a dermatologist to rule out conditions like rosacea or eczema.
