Yeah, ZZ can make your skin dry and flakey. The thing I did to deal with that was to use packing tape (or Scotch tape) and just apply it to your skin and peel off the dead skin. Simple enough. But it's not perfect. So what I'd do is to use XFML or moisturizer during the day. The XFML product acts li...

I know you're frustrated. I don't think many people have signed up yet, so you might want to ask your question again in a little bit. Also, I think probably most people who come here are looking into acne problems rather than rosacea. Have you tried the acne/rosacea-LTD III product before? I think t...

so, was this coconut oil hydrogenated? partially hydrogenated? virgin? extra virgin? did it contain any trans fat, or none? now that trans fat has been brought to public attention - they are now starting to label the amount of TRANS fat, which is supposedly the new EVIL fat (formerly saturated fat)...

as far as ingesting it goes...yes, the AHA thinks it's bad. but remember, authoritative dermatological institutions which are the analagous to the AHA would also tell you that demodex causing acne is fiction. i think pretty much everybody on this board would agree that these mites are NOT some para...

No problem. If you have any other questions, just ask. If I can't answer them, I'm sure Walter or someone else will.

You should know that the DS products will cause an initial break-out to happen with most people. That's normal, and should be expected. With myself, my first week on the products I saw a slight improvement in my acne. Then after about the 5th day, I started breaking out a lot! It was very noticeable...

Heard about it before. I strongly caution against it. The American Heart Association has an official warning about coconut oil on their web site, saying that people should avoid eating it. It's almost 100% saturated fat. Saturated fats cause heart disease by increasing LDL cholesterol (low density l...

Maybe I'm going blind, but I still don't see it. I do understand the concept of companies not wanting to help a competitor sell products, but where in irishstedy's post does it give the reason why he can't buy products from DS? Am I to look in Irish's profile to find him to be the VP of a competing...

:o Why is access to the products on this site not an option? Maybe because they're competing products? Pretty much common sense is going to tell you they're not going to help their competitors sell their products. Just like you're not going to go to Sears and see coupons for JC Penny's. I have expe...

I would think it would vary from person to person. In my experience, when I went to the "maintenance" dosage, my skin went back to being normal dryness for the most part. The maintenance dosage is just taking ZZ once every 2 days instead of once a day. Anyway, during the initial clearing p...

Yes, you can keep in the fridge but using cold will make it more difficult to apply. Walter That's good to know, thanks. No, I'd only keep my extra containers in the refrigerator for storage. I usually get a bunch of ZZ containers with each purchase so I can get the discount in price. So you're tel...

My skin is now very dry and peeling from 1.5 wks of 2x per day, I think I will use the ZZ only at night and see what happens, actually my face is more red than using a sulfer cream from the derm.... Yep, the peeling and dryness will improve if you do ZZ only at night instead of both night and morni...

Re: Zhongzhou Ointment

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum but it has come from haste and necessity. I have been living with Rosacea for about 15 years. It is fairly progressed. The mite theory was one that i had never heard and it makes sense as my Rosacea seems to extend into my scalp. I have just recently had a very b...
