Brimonidine has been reported to be effective in "therapies for the redness and flushing of rosacea."
"For patients who are having a big problem with flushing [or] blushing, brimonidine [Alphagan] is a great drug. I use it routinely in my office," Dr. Guy F. Webster said at the annual Hawaii Dermatology Seminar sponsored by the Skin Disease Education Foundation."

It has been reported at R-F that addiing a drop of brimonidine to a cream, moisturizer, Finacea, or whatever helps the flushing associated with rosacea.
Why would a drug used for the lowering of intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension or used to to induce miosis for people suffering from poor night vision after Lasik or PRK surgery be effective in treating rosacea? Ask your doctor about Brimodidine's vasoconstrictor attributes.
