Frequently Asked Questions

ZZ Cream is commonly used as part of a skincare routine for:

  • Rosacea-prone skin
  • Persistent facial redness
  • Blemish-prone skin
  • Demodex-related skin imbalance
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Excess oil and congested pores

ZZ Cream combines Sublimed Sulfur, Zinc Oxide, and carefully selected botanical ingredients to support skin prone to Demodex-related imbalance. The formula helps reduce the appearance of redness, blemishes, excess oil, and congestion while supporting the skin's natural balance and renewal process for a clearer, calmer, and healthier-looking complexion.

Many users begin to notice visible improvements within the first 2 to 4 weeks. Because skin renewal occurs gradually over several weeks, we recommend following a consistent skincare routine for at least 90 days to support continued improvement across multiple skin renewal cycles.

1. Cleanse the skin gently and allow it to dry before application.

2. Apply a very thin layer of ZZ Cream to the areas of concern, preferably in the evening before bedtime.

3. A pea-sized amount is generally sufficient for the face. Apply sparingly—using more product does not necessarily improve results.

Yes. For most users, once-daily evening application is recommended during the initial 90-day skincare protocol. Once the skin has improved, many users continue with maintenance application once or twice per week to help support long-term skin balance.

ZZ Cream is best applied in the evening as part of your nighttime skincare routine. Because the formula contains Zinc Oxide and may leave a visible white residue on the skin, evening application is generally the most convenient option.

Yes. Many users apply ZZ Cream in the evening and use their normal daytime makeup routine after cleansing their skin in the morning.

During the initial 90-day skincare protocol, we recommend keeping your routine simple and avoiding harsh exfoliants, strong acids, or other potentially irritating products. If ZZ Cream is used in the evening, a gentle moisturizer and other mild skincare products may be used during the day as needed.

ZZ Cream can be used on sensitive skin, but individual tolerance may vary. If your skin is sensitive or reactive, we recommend performing a patch test first and beginning with a small amount. If dryness or irritation occurs, reduce the frequency of application and allow the skin to recover before continuing.

Some users may experience temporary dryness, redness, or irritation when first introducing ZZ Cream, particularly if the skin is sensitive or reactive. If this occurs, reduce the frequency of application and allow the skin to recover before continuing. If irritation is significant or persistent, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if necessary.

No. Cosmetic ZZ Cream does not contain corticosteroids, antibiotics, or added hormones. It is a cosmetic skincare formulation developed for regular skincare use.

Some customers prefer Cosmetic ZZ Cream because it retains the key Sublimed Sulfur and Zinc Oxide foundation of the original Zhongzhou formulation while using a refined, boric-acid-free cosmetic base. Its softer, smoother texture is designed for regular skincare use and makes it a convenient choice for a long-term skincare routine.

Cosmetic ZZ Cream has not been specifically evaluated for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy, we recommend consulting your doctor or other qualified healthcare professional before use.

ZZ Cream has a characteristic scent arising naturally from ingredients such as Sublimed Sulfur, Menthol, and mint-derived botanical components. The cooling sensation and distinctive scent are normal characteristics of the formulation.

Avoid direct contact with the eyes and eyelids. If ZZ Cream accidentally gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. For care around the eyelid and eyelash area, see the DemSol Eyelid & Eyelash Care Cream product information and follow its specific directions for use.

One jar typically lasts approximately 1–3 months, depending on the area of application and the amount used. Because only a thin layer is needed, a small amount goes a long way.

Unopened, ZZ Cream has a shelf life of 24 months. Once opened, store it in a cool, dry place and use within 12 months for optimal product quality.

Genuine Cosmetic ZZ Cream can be purchased directly from Demodex Solutions through our official online store. To ensure product authenticity, we recommend purchasing from Demodex Solutions or an authorized seller.
