Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Most, if not all, of the vitamin C in the US is synthesized from corn. People who react to vitamin C may be displaying an allergy to corn, since this is a super-concentrated form.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 Hi everyone, I have this question: - what is a reasonable amount of time within which one can expect a reaction? Is it the next day, three days, or more? Couple of days ago I realized that light burning sensation returned to my face, though it is not critical, and it seems to come and go. But I did not have any of the burning or tingling for a while, so I was wondering if this could have been caused by the Cetaphil bar that I started to use over a week ago? I am just trying to determine what is causing it, or if it's completely unrelated to any product, and it is just my rosacea having a mind of its own. My face is very calm, there is some 'pinkishness' but that will never go away and I believe it is almost as good as it can get considering I do have rosacea. I only use Cetaphil to cleanse, and Nutraderm as moisturizer (while still on Tetracycline). So, when you react to something, how quickly do you start having problems?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Marjorie, Unfortunately, in the past, I have tended to slather on the sunblock without regard for its' ingredients. Fortunately, I have learned a lot since joining this group. Now, everything that I put on my face or pick up at the grocery store, gets scrutinized. I appreciate your tips. Dennis Re: Reactions? > You're comment about putting too much oil on your face that it causes redness got me thinking about Metrogel. I wonder if I have been applying it to thick subconsciously thinking if a little helps reduce the redness, what would a glop of it do ? Maybe that's why the redness seems worse some days, and if I avoid it for awhile and start using it again, it works great. I'm going to pay more attention when applying it next time. -=-=-= Dennis, another option is to try one of the other topical metronidazole preparation. There's Metrolotion and Metrocream, and Noritate, to choose from. The carrier ingredients differ, so if one irritates the others might well not. " Less is more " -- a thin film gently rubbed in until invisible (ideally ), they weren't designed to be applied as amply as, say, sunblock. Good luck!
