We all seek a remedy if our capillaries become weak and breakable. I know that’s the very reason why you’re reading this post now. And that’s also why I tested dozens of anti-redness and soothing serums.
But did I find an efficacious product? Luckily, I did <3
My (unwanted) spider veins
The funny thing is that I’ve always been troubled by breakable blood vessels but I never did anything about it. These nasty irritations appeared once in a while and were just temporary. Some tiny spider veins used to show up, for example, near the nose and disappeared quite fast. I really didn’t feel the urge to do anything with these blemishes. They simply didn’t bother me completely.
Surprisingly, everything changed about 2-3 years ago when my skin started to act weird. It used to be triggered more often, and the telangiectasias spread almost all over my face. Unfortunately, I had a hard time trying to erase the spider veins and redness from my face. They simply didn’t want to disappear on their own anymore. Whether I wanted it or not, I had to do something about these red splotches.
This is how I deal with spider veins
Before I accepted the challenge and introduced significant changes in my daily skin ritual, I had to do some research first. I had had to learn what couperose skin needed. Because the fact that regular face creams aren’t enough for a redness-prone complexion, I found out pretty quickly.
It appears that couperose skin:
- requires very gentle cleansing
- needs all-year-round UV protection
- is triggered by cosmetics containing artificial substances
- needs ingredients known for strengthening the walls of capillaries
- needs to be treated with soothing and irritation-relieving products
Anti-redness face serum
The product that I’ve chosen is a face serum that provides couperose skin with everything it needs – it’s lightweight, absorbs into the skin well, and doesn’t clog pores. Provided that the choice is well-made, of course!
And here I come to you with my suggestions – the best anti-redness serums for couperose skin that proved to be effective. So, if you’re looking for a tried-and-tested skincare product because you don’t feel like running the hit-or-miss test on your irritation-prone skin, see the cosmetics below. These are my TOP face serums dealing with spider veins and facial redness.
NANOIL ANTI-REDNESS FACE SERUM
There is only one first place and this time it’s taken by Nanoil face serum for couperose skin. To me, there is no better product dealing with the problems of facial redness and spider veins. This water-based product is formulated with four plant extracts that have a soothing effect on skin. The plant-based ingredients include horse chestnut extract that strengthens and seals the walls of blood vessels. You can also find an extract taken from Punarnava. This one delivers an antioxidant effect. I truly love Nanoil serum because it gives me a pleasant feeling of hydration and soothe the moment it’s applied to the skin. Regularly used, Nanoil Anti-Redness Face Serum reduces the appearance of facial redness, brightens discoloration and deals with spider veins. Also, it’s great that you only need to use it once a day, at bedtime.

LA ROCHE-POSAY ROSALIAC AR INTENSE
When it comes to the skincare products that target weak blood vessels, I can also recommend to you a serum launched by La Roche-Posay. And I’m sure you know this brand very well – it offers, among others, Rosaliac AR Intense serum that was designed to bring relief to problematic skin: erase redness, soothe irritation, deal with rosacea. What I like about this serum is the fact that it’s made up of thermal water and nourishing ingredients, thanks to which it’s able to recover the skin’s balance, soothe irritation, brighten and leave skin glowing. I do like its gel formula because it’s non-comedogenic and gives me a pleasant refreshing feeling. The downside, however, is the fact that the serum runs out quickly.
ORIGINS MEGA-MUSHROOM SKIN RELIEF FACE SERUM
Mushroom-infused face serum? Why not? Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Serum surprised me positively. Since this isn’t a budget-friendly item, I’ve never had a full-size product – I got samples only. But if you have more money to spend, go ahead and buy it – I doubt you will be disappointed. This serum’s formula is enriched with sea buckthorn extract as well as extracts taken from three types of mushrooms (reishi, chaga, cordyceps) known and used in Chinese medicine. It soothes irritations quickly, brightens facial redness and leaves skin glowing. Even though it may have some problems with handling bigger skin concerns, Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Serum is certainly an interesting suggestion.
COSRX CICA SERUM
I also had the opportunity to use Cosrx soothing serum designed for sensitive skin. I think this isn’t a well-known brand – at least none of my friends knew it back then. Anyway, you can buy Cosrx cosmetics online – no problem with that at all. Cica serum helps sensitive and irritation-prone skin, and it also deals with spider veins. The constituents are: Asian pennywort extract, panthenol, allantoin, betaine and mild acids that are responsible for locking moisture inside the skin, which basically means that it effectively revitalizes, regenerates and brings relief. However, let me point out that Cosrx Cica Serum lacks substances targeting spider veins, meaning that it doesn’t prevent broken capillaries. This one focuses only on regenerating and calming down the skin.
PCA SKIN ANTI-REDNESS SERUM
On my list of TOP anti-redness serums I also need to add a skincare product launched by PCA Skin. If it weren’t for its exorbitantly high price then, who knows, maybe I would still have it in my bathroom. Actually I didn’t even buy it myself because I received it as a gift from my friend. When I used it, I liked it for being so lightweight. I remember that it made my skin feel hydrated, soothed and it looked even-toned. I believe this effect is owed to the following ingredients: soothing bisabolol and extracts taken from red and brown algae. Oh, and there is another downside to mention – PCA Skin Anti-Redness Serum needs to be applied twice a day.
Which serum for spider veins should you pick?
You know my top soothing skincare products suggestions, so now you have to choose for yourself which face serum suits you best. Unfortunately, I can’t point a finger at a certain product and decide for you. Just remember to always check the list of ingredients and the price – there’s no point in overpaying for skincare products.
Let me know which anti-redness face serum you chose to combat the problem of broken capillaries.
