Pimples get red because of inflammation, and inflammation is crucial for healing. It happens because the immune system is fighting bacteria and other invaders in the blocked pore. Are you sure you want to clamp down your body's efforts to get rid of the bacteria and heal your skin? If Visine works by reducing blood flow it means that it also slows down the healing process.

I have used it for sunburns and pimples and it helps remove redness with enough layers that it actually leaves a temporary white area around the pimple.

Once it dripped out of my eyes, ran down my face, and caused white streaks to appear on my face. It doesn't last all day-so reapply. I've also gotten it into my mouth before and there was no vomitting. I think you'd need to ingest more than a drop or two to cause any damage...
