QUOTE ({DC} @ Jan 17 2010, 05:26 AM)  Thanks again for your input willow. I thought it was strange that some said it caused burning and dryness. Maybe the pH of there Niacinamide isnt right. Anything outside of a pH of 5-7 will undergo hydrolysis and turn into nicotinic acid I believe it was. When that happens I read it can cause burning, flushing and flakiness. Plus a number of places and derms have said to use Niacinamide creams topicals with retinoid usage to offset the irritation and skin barrier disruption retinoids create. ** Willow did/do you have oily skin? If so did niacinamide topcial help with that at all? I am oily in my t-zone - especially around my chin and mouth areas. I haven't noticed any change in oiliness with the Metazine Gel though.

We are giving this a try after it was recommened to us by another person:
Wash with a mild cleanser (they used Cetaphil but could also use DK Cleanser) and then apply 4% niacinamide gel at night and in the morning. We were able to get the 4% niaminacide gel from a pharmacy called Cox Pharmacy (no prescription needed). Google it and you will find it. They sell a jar of the gel that will last you a good two months (since you only need a dime size amount) for $10.00 Easier than making it yourself. The compounding tech there was AWESOME and she gave me lots of success stories about people using the gel. She has worked there over 20 years and she said people order it from all over. We have tried it all - so we will let you know how this goes - waiting for our miracle ..... |
