My red marks are usually very noticable especially in the heat, they are from a bout of severe cystic acne some 2 years back and I almost consider them to be a form of rosacea.

Whenever I take a certain stimulant (which I wont mention the name of) I notice that my red marks completely fade, even in the heat and I have found that while on that certain stimulant my red mark problem is temporarily eradicated

So I was wondering today, caffeine is a weak form of stimulant, and most stimulants constrict blood vessels. Maybe it will have similar effects on red marks? I might try drinking coffee/red bull everyday and see if I notice any difference. Ive also looked at this website http://www.personahealth.com/Caffeine-lotion-pr-16145.html . Now it says nothing about the lotion helping rosacea or red marks but if you look at this website http://www.drnase.com/mini_studies.htm it says that a caffeine based moisturizer could do wonders?

Anyone tried fading their red marks/ rosacea by using caffeine based products?
