Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Niacinamide 5%/Kojic Acid 4% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the potent effects of niacinamide and kojic acid, two active ingredients known for their efficacy in treating hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other forms of skin discoloration.

Niacinamide, a derivative of vitamin B3, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to enhance skin barrier function. Kojic acid, on the other hand, is a natural skin lightening agent that inhibits the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. When used together, these two ingredients synergistically work to diminish the appearance of dark spots and discoloration, while simultaneously improving overall skin tone and texture.

This compounded formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is suitable for all skin types and can be incorporated into a daily skincare routine. To use, patients should apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by their healthcare provider.

It's important to note that the results of this treatment may take several weeks to become apparent. Additionally, the use of sun protection is highly recommended while using this product to prevent further skin discoloration.
