There was no irritation or redness for me, but I couldn't stop breaking out from this. Additionally, it's pretty expensive for how small this tube is. I think if your issue is trying to combat redness or something such as rosacea or eczema, this might be worth a try
I have combination acne prone skin and this product made my skin break out.
