A: Topicals and broken capillaries

Unfortunately broken capillaries on the face are usually not amendable to treatment with topical creams. They occur due to familial predisposition, such as rosacea or due to significant sun exposure leading to destruction of collagen, which is a main supporting structure in our skin for these tiny blood vessels so they become more prominent over time.

The best treatments for these vessels are laser/light devices such as pulse dye and intense pulse light or diode laser. However, in theory, any topical treatments that help to rebuild skin collagen and re-strengthen the reinforcement of the capillaries can reduce their appearance with long-term use. Such creams are retinoids, antioxidant moisturizers (e.g., Vit C and E creams) and sun protective sunscreen. Good luck.
