What Is The Red Rescue?


The Red Rescue is a topical prescription cream formulated with oxymetazoline and other powerful ingredients formulated to treat redness and flushing caused by skin irritation and a skin condition called rosacea. 


It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the face, and it is intended to offer fast-acting redness relief. The Red Rescue can be paired with our existing rosacea treatment, The Red Set, which is designed to significantly reduce rosacea symptoms over time. The Red Rescue allows our patients to quickly reduce signs of rosacea during flare-ups, and boost confidence going make-up free in their day-to-day life.
