Heres a little hack ive read up on in studies, 0.05% oxymetazoline or oxymetazoline can constrict your dilated blood vessels
so when somebody has that leftover ugly redness you get this 5-10% OTC nasal spray Called afrin
you do one spray on the areas affected by PIE and it constricts your blood vessels and you will have DRAMATICALLY less redness
there is also studies on this
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Split-face, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial using exactly 0.05% oxymetazoline (Afrin concentration) twice daily for 12 weeks on post-acne erythema. Clinical response rate at week 8 was 40% on the treated side vs 6.67% on placebo (p=0.002). Erythema index improvement was visible from week 2. Patient satisfaction was significantly higher on the treated side (8.30 vs 7.40, p<0.001). No serious adverse events, no rebound effect observed.
NO there is 0 rebound redness from it, theres a 1% chance of rebound redness from RHOFADE which is 1% oxymetazoline which is 20x the dosage of this 0.05% so the chances of getting rebound redness are so miniscule it doesnt matter ( dont be a fucking pussy)
