R.S. 3 Share Posted September 22, 2006 i remember using niacinamide gel years ago and it worked as well as BP. the only reason i quit using it was because i ran out and couldn't afford to buy another bottle of it at the time, and eventually forgot about it. i've been seeing it mentioned here a few times in the past. you guys may or may not know there was a study conducted in '95 that showed niacinamide gel to be more effective then a topical antibiotic, and with less side effects as well. in another study it has been showed to have similar effects as retinoids on improving skin tone / quality, but without the peeling and redness that we all have come to associate retinoids with. so has anyone used it? i just ordered a bottle of metazene, google it and you'll find a few stores that sell it.
