Lock screen is always too bright

[REIGN75]

The lock screen on my s21 is always too bright even with brightness down all the way and a screen dimmer app. How can I dim the lock screen?

Wild guess but I think it's for the facial recognition

This, just tested and it is facial recognition.

Check your Settings in Always On Display & Auto Brightness.

You can set it to however bright you want.

Turn off your facial recognition (face look).

Why would you turn off Facial Recognition?? 

The Brightness level on my device is set by me, not "auto brightness" & Facial Recognition does not the screen to be bright. It needs to be used with reasonable ambient light.

Please turn off the brighten screen from the face recognition settings. You can discuss why screen need to bright when unlocking with samsung I am just trying to giving you solution.

The OP never mentioned anything about using Facial Recognition, so maybe yes, maybe not the reason for the Lockscreen brightness.

Hi, if you have face recognition on, you can change the brightness in Settings >> Lock Screen and Security >> Face Recognition >> Turn Brighten Screen off.

Please keep us posted if it worked for you.

Thank you everyone for your steps and suggestions.
