Root casue of your issue is vascular hyperreactivity

Eithe use 0.33% brimonidine gel or use 0.75% metronidazole gel if u feel inflammation is also present

It could not be that deep.

Maybe he is applying products that don’t sit well with his skin and are giving him a reaction.

I’d say he should approach it by trying to find any possible causes of the irritation first, it’s way more likely he is doing something wrong currently, than that he has that weird condition.

Edit: went to your profile, it definitely is your current skincare routine. OP is on high strength azelaic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Stop using them so often until your skin calms down a bit, then reintroduce them gradually without forcing the irritation. That’s the solution.

Facial redness that is persistent or episodic is often driven by neurovascular dysregulation rather than simple surface irritation. That is why targeting vascular tone made more sense to me.

Unfortunately, the op didnt mention the skin products he was using, which is the info people should always provide when asking about any skin condition. Your recommendation is probably the safer first line approach

I am actually on 20mg of accutane daily myself and experience 0 side effects (no hair loss, no joint pain, no depression), apart from some minor lip dryness which I can avoid completely if I apply a thick layer of vaseline every night.

I tried every product under the sun to try fix my acne for 4 whole years and nothing seemed to work completely. Everything got clear once I started 10mg daily, and my face is not irritated and red anymore, unlike with topical tretinoin and azelaic acid.

I get my bloodwork done too, and there is not a visible change in any marker. The only reason I upped to 20mg is to finish a course so acne never comes back again and I can stop using it.

But theoretically you could use 10mg for life, or ~2 years (if you don’t want to be on it forever)

Maybe you are 18 and your acne was gonna go away forever at 20 (like it happens to many people). Hypothetically you could use the lowest amount that gets rid of your acne (like 5mg daily) and hop off at 20 and never have had to finish a whole accutane course, which means reaching a total cumulative dose of around 120mg/kg (8400mg for a 70kg person spread out over however long to get rid of acne forever).
