Hi Angel, The Cheetos occasionally call me too. I found a recipe for cheese puffs in my gramma's old cookbook. I changed it a bit and it is in the recipes in...

If the niacin that you are referring to is made from niacinamide, then it's okay for rosacea. It may even help it. Metro products never did a thing for me,...
