Re: Official Rosacea Thread
Bilostoli....when I used a cream with Niacin as the main ingredient it was an immediate bad reaction. Now I just read this: Another derivative of niacin, niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide can also be used as a treatment for arthritis by adding with cartilage production as well as an anit-flammatory treatment in acne and rosacea.
Meaning it's not Niacin...it's made from it. There is a difference.
BUT .. then I just read this as well...‘Niacin flush’ that is caused by B3 (Niacin) and is believed to exacerbate Rosacea.
Then.. someone else mentioned sea buckthorn. Here is an article about using it as well. seabuckthorn.com/rosacea ROSACEA AND SEABUCKTHORN CAUSE AND EFFECT
I know my face has red splotches on my forehead and sides of my cheeks, chin, and sometimes my eye lid with have a say in this too.
It's been interersting to read all the different things people have used.
I think I will check out the Pepto one as I have heard of that calming skin before and it's inexpensive for a test run. The sea buckthorn as well. Apparently it comes in soap and other ways. I looked for it on walgreens and cvs online and it didnt show up except as an ingredient in other products. I checked out those products ingredients and ....it says it has sea buckthorn in it, but I didn't see it up top of the list. Will go hunting the health food store instead.
