Re: MetroCream vs. MetroLotion

[Guest guest]

A couple of people sent me emails that were intended to answer 's

original question about the differences between MetroLotion and MetroCream.

One person said that MetroLotion contains mineral oil (which broke her out)

while MetroCream contains glycerine (which she was fine with). Another

person said that MetroLotion contains alcohol, which burned her skin and made

it red. So - maybe it's a blessing that your ins. wouldn't cover the

lotion but would cover the cream - sounds like many folks have been irritated

by the lotion. (I hope you see this - I couldn't find your address and just

sent it to the group.)

---I have samples of metrocream, and metrolotion. here are the

ingredients

Metrocream: Active: metronidazole 0.75%. Inactive: emulsifying wax,

sorbitol solution, glycerin, isopropyl palmitate, benzyl alcohol,

lactic acid and/or sodium hydroxide to adjust pH, and purified water.

Metrolotion: Active: Metronidazole 0.75%. Inactive: Benzyl alcohol,

carbomer 941, cyclomethicone, glycerin, glyceryl sterate, light

minteral oil, PEG-100 stearate, polyethylene glycol 400, potassium

sorbate, purified water, steareth-21, stearyl alcoho, and sodim

hydroxide and/or lactic acide to adjust pH.

My skin hates Metrolotion. Likes Metrogel and Metrocream best.

Hope this helps out someone. Sharon
