I have redness and red dots (tiny little bundles of microcapillaries) from a medical condition. They can get really red if I irritate my skin with just about anything. But here's something I discovered a while ago when I was looking at eyedrops (Lumify) for red eyes. I came across the active ingredient brimonidine and found out it's used in some Rx redness-reducing facial creams for rosacea. So now I take a couple of drops of Lumify and apply it on my clean face where the redness is mostly. Redness and red dots are reduced plus it lasts most of the day. I figured if Lumify can go in my eyes then it can't do any harm to my skin...and it hasn't. 


@SilleeMee  @AngelPuppy1  I wonder if Visine for red eyes would do the same thing?

It's the active ingredient in the Lumify which is also used in Rx redness-reducing creams for rosacea. I don't know about using Visine but I don't think it will work as good as Lumify.
