Hi, it appears that the allergen causing this allergy might not have been with drawn, probably you are still using the soap, or it might not be the cause of the allergy, and still you are continuing the allergen, avoid using the things you are using regularly, one by one and observe and stopping using the thing you find is allergic.
Consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.

Hi thanks for posting your query.
Effaclar is soap free, alcohol free, paraben free cleanser for sensitive skin. So this might not be the cause as the redness is still persisting even after stopping it a month back.
However, to treat the redness You may apply a mild steroid cream on face twice a day for a week to ten days
Avoid using any cosmetics on face. Apply a calamine lotion on face.
Wash your face with cool water with a mild cleanser which you have used earlier.
It redness does not decrease with this in a week, you may contact a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Hope this helps you.
