Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a topical liquid preparation that combines Aloe Vera 5%, Glycolic Acid 1%, and Niacinamide 2%. It is designed for direct application to the skin or mucosal surfaces, providing targeted therapeutic benefits. This formulation is often chosen for localized treatment or when avoiding systemic effects is desired.

Aloe Vera, known for its soothing and healing properties, is beneficial in treating various skin conditions such as burns, wounds, and skin irritations. It also provides hydration and nourishment to the skin, promoting overall skin health.

Glycolic Acid, a type of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), works as an exfoliant, helping to shed dead skin cells and reveal the newer, brighter layers underneath. It can also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin's elasticity and firmness.

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, has multiple benefits for the skin. It helps to reduce inflammation, making it useful in treating conditions like acne and rosacea. It also helps to build keratin, a type of protein that keeps your skin firm and healthy. Furthermore, Niacinamide can minimize pore appearance, protect against sun damage, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to treat a variety of skin conditions, improve skin health, and enhance its appearance. However, as with any medication, it is important to use this formulation under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Potential side effects may include skin irritation, redness, or dryness. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like to know more about how it can benefit your specific condition, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to assist you.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Aloe Vera, Glycolic Acid, and Niacinamide in a topical liquid preparation. Each of these ingredients has unique properties that can interact with other medications or substances. It's important to understand these potential interactions to ensure safe and appropriate use of this formulation.

Aloe Vera is generally considered safe for topical use. However, it may increase the absorption of topical corticosteroids, so caution should be exercised when using this formulation alongside corticosteroid creams or ointments. Additionally, Aloe Vera can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin or allergies to plants in the Liliaceae family.

Glycolic Acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, is used in this formulation for its exfoliating properties. It can increase skin sensitivity, particularly to sunlight. Therefore, it's important to use sun protection while using this formulation. Glycolic Acid may also interact with other topical medications, particularly those that can cause skin irritation or dryness, such as retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. Concurrent use of these medications with this formulation may increase the risk of skin irritation.

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is generally well-tolerated when used topically. However, it may cause mild burning, itching, or redness in some individuals. There are no known significant drug interactions with topical Niacinamide. However, it's always important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently using, including over-the-counter products and dietary supplements.

This formulation is designed to offer targeted therapeutic benefits for various skin conditions. Aloe Vera has soothing and moisturizing properties, making it beneficial for dry or irritated skin. Glycolic Acid helps to exfoliate the skin, improving texture and tone, and can be beneficial in the treatment of acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties and can help to improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and dullness.

As with any medication, it's important to use this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently using to avoid potential interactions.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our knowledgeable team of compounding pharmacists is here to assist you.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Aloe Vera 5%/Glycolic Acid 1%/Niacinamide 2% Topical Liquid is a specially designed formulation that combines the therapeutic properties of its three active ingredients to provide targeted treatment for various skin conditions. This formulation is applied directly to the skin or mucosal surfaces, allowing for localized treatment and minimizing systemic effects.

Aloe Vera, the primary ingredient, is renowned for its soothing and healing properties. It contains polysaccharides that stimulate skin growth and repair. Aloe Vera also has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce skin inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions like acne and psoriasis.

Glycolic Acid, a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), works by exfoliating the skin. It helps to remove the outermost layer of dead cells from the complexion, revealing brighter, fresher skin underneath. Glycolic Acid also enhances the penetration of other ingredients, increasing the overall effectiveness of the formulation.

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, has multiple benefits for the skin. It helps to build keratin, a type of protein that keeps the skin firm and healthy. Niacinamide also boosts the skin's immunity, improves lipid barrier function, and helps to regulate oil production. It can also help to treat hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the transfer of pigment within the skin. Furthermore, Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for treating inflammatory skin conditions like acne.

However, as with any medication, it's important to use this formulation under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Always follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions to ensure the best results.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
