What Can Be Done for Redness on Chest?

I have a red chest 24/7. It started about 5 years ago. I am 48 years old, light skinned. I stopped sun bathing 3 years ago and now I'm religious at using the sunscreen.  I used to apply Retin A and Vit. C serum but seemed to have made it worse. I have also tried IPL--one session, yet it's still red. It is not blotchy; just red all over like I am sunburned. Is there a laser or topical treatment I have not thought of?
