MetroGel vs Pai Skin Care

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.
