Exposed vs MetroGel

Exposed is an acne product developed through a collaborative effort of dermatologists, cosmetologists, naturopaths and chemists. This combination of skin care professionals working together for the first time resulted in a unique and revolutionary skin care approach that not only treats the acne that you have and proactively prevents new acne from forming.

The Exposed acne solution is the first full spectrum acne treatment system that treats and prevents acne in ways that were previously thought impossible. Exposed does not fight with your skin like other solutions by using overly harsh medicines but instead uses a proprietary combination approach that returns your skin to the natural and healthy balance that it was meant to have.

1. The first step to clear skin is clean skin. The Exposed facial cleanser is a rich yet gentle face wash that is soap-free, non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic.
2. The pore clearing tonic eliminates harmful contaminants and clears clogged pores returning your skin to its natural healthy balance.
3. The daytime acne serum treats the acne that you already have by delivering a special formulation of micronized benzoyl and olive leaf extract deep into your pores
4. The nighttime acne serum is a lightweight gel that clears your pores and re balances your skin while you sleep.
5. The final step in the regimen is for people with dry or combination skin.

A special synergistic system was designed to unclog blocked pores, kill acne and help your skin normalize excess sebum production.

MetroGel is a topical medication for severe acne that guarantees the ultimate fix in eliminating acne.

MetroGel 1% includes the most powerful strength of metronidazole available in a topical product, and an exclusive formula that contains HSA-3®, a combination of ingredients including betadex, niacinamide (vitamin B3), and propylene glycol. In a 92% water-based gel, these ingredients work together to help your skin retain moisture while enhancing the absorption of the medicine.

Applying MetroGel on the affected areas on your face helps control acne rosacea and it can also improve your skin by decreasing redness and swollen lesions brought by acne rosacea.

Like any other prescription skin care drugs, MetroGel also has its side effects: metallic taste, burning/stinging sensation on the skin, skin dryness, tingling or numbness felt in either hands or feet, and nausea.

Other side effects associated to MetroGel (as reported by patients who tried this acne product in our MetroGel Forum) also experienced skin irritation, watery eyes, and skin redness. In severe cases caused by using MetroGel, serious cases of allergy have been reported as well.

Patients complained of having breathing difficulties, puffiness of the lips, mouth, or tongue, and respiratory congestion.

Before you consider using MetroGel for acne treatment, consult your doctor first.
