Re: Acne/Rosacea and a couple questions

Robin/JPC, I was very sad to read both your posts because it shows in your writing just how much you are suffering….and I think only when you have been through this do you really understand how much of a confidence knock this skin stuff can be. I am aware that there are much worse medical problems i...

Re: Acne/Rosacea and a couple questions

Hi Robin, It sounds like you are doing everything you can hygiene-wise, and I agree that while you might have some minimal contact with other bacteria from the children’s clothing etc. I don’t think it would have too much effect, I think probably pillowcases are the most important thing as your face...

Re: Acne/Rosacea and a couple questions

Hi Robin, Just one more quick post too – I saw that you mentioned that you don’t wash your face again in the morning. I just wanted to say that as well as using the ZZ cream I also embarked on a big “cleanliness” drive….just washing my face with water (no cleansers or soaps or anything) as much as I...

Re: Acne/Rosacea and a couple questions

Hi Robin, I am really glad to hear that the cream seems to be having some effect – I also went through lots of breakouts and redness/dryness in around the first month but it did get better. I did get little pimples on my neck too so I think that sounds kind of normal, to be getting them elsewhere as...

Re: Acne/Rosacea and a couple questions

Hi Robin, Just was reading your post and noticed quite a few similarities in our cases – and particularly – I had just started using “mineral” make-up for the first time too just before my skin all went crazy, and I have been wondering lately if that could have been a factor, so it’s interesting to ...

Re: Progress with ZZ Cream

Just another update (as I know people have mentioned the problem with this Message Board is that people don't post back good news once they are cured!)....well, I am not "cured" yet, but still having lots of progress. It's been almost 4 months and my skin continues to improve and there has...

Re: Red Hot Spots???

I can only speak from my experience, but it doesn't sound like a particularly good reaction. I notice a kind of tingling/burning when I first apply the ZZ cream (for about 10 mins) but then this goes away. Although, one thing I did notice (and not related to the application of the ZZ cream) but when...

Re: how often can i use a moisturizer

Hi, I am fairly new to all this so others may be able to help more regarding moisturizers, but just wanted to say that when I started ZZ cream my face was very dry and flakey for about 2-3 weeks and then the dryness started to subside and now I only get a little bit of dryness... I didn't use moistu...

Re: Progress with ZZ Cream

Just wanted to post another update in case anyone is looking for current user experiences on the ZZ cream: It is now around 9-10 weeks on the cream (ZZ Cream at night only) and I just wanted to say that I am still seeing a definite improvement, even from my last post...(Walter - thank you for your l...

Re: Progress with ZZ Cream

I just wanted to post an update as I am about half-way through my intended “test” time for the treatment – I’m now at around 6 weeks of using just the ZZ Cream at night, and I am very happy to say that my skin is much much better !! I have not changed any other routine or practice so I can only attr...

Re: Progress with ZZ Cream

Hi Skandi, Thank you for your post also....it is really helpful to hear how someone else is finding the products, I get so nervous trying new products on my face when it's already so damaged that it's just nice to hear how other people are getting along too and to share thoughts/side-effects! Well, ...

Progress with ZZ Cream

I have found this board very useful and decided to post my experience so far with ZZ cream as the one area the site seemed to be lacking is more testimonials and experiences. I had huge doubts as to whether I should order this cream from overseas (my friends thought I was nuts!) and whether it is tr...
