Nicotinamide is a water-soluble component of
the vitamin B complex group. It has demonstrated anti-inflammatory
actions which benefit the patients who have inflammatory acne vulgaris.
I give this product a four star rating.
Nicotinamide is known for its ability to block the inflammatory actions
of iodides known to precipitate or exacerbate inflammatory acne. The
ingredients of the product are Zinc Oxide, Cupric Oxide and Folic Acid
among others. Zinc has been shown to inhibit the inflammatory
polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemotaxis in acne patients.
Patients
with inflammatory acne have been shown to have significantly lower serum
zinc levels than matched healthy controls. Copper is an essential trace
mineral in human nutrition. Deficiencies of folic acid have been
demonstrated to occur in some cutaneous inflammatory disorders.
Proper
care should be taken in using this medicine. Though this medicine is not
useful in reducing acne, it does seem to reduce the redness and the size
of the spots. It can have quite a drying effect.
