Likely the medications you are using are too strong. Also you could alternatively try applying moisturizer with your acne medication. The moisturizer will help not make you acne medications so irritating.

Also you could just be using too much product. Avoid toners, scrubbing with a washcloth, and washing too frequently. Wash once in the morning and night with an acne cleanser and apply you acne medication as directed.

Check out the brand Avene. The brand is made especially for sensitive skin, also they sell great products to help reduce redness on the face over time. :)

I wash with Johnson's baby wash in the morning and night, it is milder than soap and won't cause dryness or rash. Also avoid too much sun and wind and extreme heat or cold. Redness could be a sign of rosacea so check with a dermatologist if the redness doesn't improve.
