Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 Has anyone come across a Vitamin K Plus? I came across it at a GNC store. It claims to tone down redness. The ingredients contain many things but the Grape seed extract, Vitamin C w/ bioflavonoids caught my eye. It does also contain Cetearyl Alcohol in it and I am currently using the Neutrogena Moisture for Sensitive Skin and I know it contains a little alcohol in it as well. I don’t want to put too many products with alcohol on my face. Anyone?

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 Please don't confuse " alcohol " with " cetearyl alcohol " . Alcohol (or ethanol) is the stinging solvent which causes a reaction on some people's skins (both externally and internally!!) whereas cetyl, cetearyl or stearyl alcohols are waxy materials used to stabilise creams and lotions. Some people may also have a reaction to these " fatty alcohols " , as they are called, but it is not related to the reaction to ethanol.
