Hello!
I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience or knowledge of using green pigments, or ingredients which give a green tint in face creams to reduce redness? (Usually for rosacea type skin, acne or other red looking blotches or blemishes.)
Some of the products on the market include green tea extract, spirulina, chromium oxide, pigments or other mineral extracts. They are usually put alongside zinc and titanium oxide.
I'm interested in what might work best to give the look of an instant reduction in redness, while other ingredients in my face cream continue to work. Are there any of these things that are better with spots or better with just a general redness, and should any of them be avoided around scabs, recently open wounds/spots (or closed over ones that naughty people might scratch at!) If you were making something like that, what would you go for?
Thanks... Magia x
