Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a unique compounded formulation of Kojic Acid 2%/Niacinamide 4% in a topical gel format.

Kojic Acid is a naturally occurring skin lightening agent that functions by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. On the other hand, Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a potent antioxidant that aids in reducing inflammation and enhancing skin barrier function. When combined, these two ingredients work synergistically to diminish the appearance of dark spots and enhance overall skin tone.

This compounded formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency. It is suitable for all skin types and can be applied to the face, neck, and other areas of the body. For optimal results, it is recommended to apply the gel twice daily, in the morning and evening. Please note that it may take several weeks to observe visible results.

If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can be utilized to treat your specific skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

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.
