Hi DTA- How much of the oil do you use? How do you apply it (dry or damp skin, pat on or rub in?). I am not giving up on the oil yet, I breakout anyway. I am trying to come off of the XFML and get back on the ZZ a couple of nights a week to start. I used it last night on top of the emu oil. My skin ...

Hi Pas- In all honesty, my skin never adjusted to the ZZ. I used it every night for many months, my skin was so dry, red, flakey and the pimples kept coming as well. I started to taper off and use it a couple of nights a week and then, I think it was sometime last summer I stopped using it. I do use...

Hi- I was wondering if any of you that have tried the emu oil did you breakout more at first? This is what I am experiencing. I used it for 2 days and I am getting quite a bit more pimples and clogged pores than before. Maybe it is just a coincedence, I don't know. I would love to hear form anyone a...

Hi Walter- I would say that I am over 90 % better now. I still get pimples often and clogged pores though (pimples are usually small and go away quickly). My problem with the ZZ was that my skin always looked like it was burned when I used it. I used it for almost 9 months continously. I also had ex...

Hi-

I was wondering if someone like Walter could answer this for me. I am getting really concerned about using the XFML for so long. I am willing to try the ZZ ointment again, but I would like some advice since I am soooo sensitive to it.

Thank you-

Johanna

I am concerned about using the XFML for so long (year and a half). I use very little...a jar lasts two months or so. Any comments on this? I wish I wasn't using an antibiotic for so long.

Thanks,

Johanna

Thanks for the advice...ordered some of the oil, can't wait to try it!

I am unable to use the ZZ cream due to sensitivity to sulfur. My concern is. that I keep reading that the only way to effectively kill the mites is with continous treatment with ZZ. I only use XFML. I have been on it for almost 2 years. I would say that I am 90% better, but would still love to get c...

Hi- I was wondering if anyone here uses the Fuml. cream without the metro in it? If you do, do you like it. I really want to cut back on using the XFML and just use the ZZ 1 or 2 nights a week. I need a moisturizer badly (live in a very ard climate) and everything I try makes my skin worse. Any othe...

Hi-

I understand that using nothing is best, but I live in the desert and that is not possible. I need to find something to use...

Thanks,

Hi Walter-

Maybe 2 X's a week, 3 at the very most. I still am at a loss as to what I would use the rest of the time???

Thanks for your response-

Hi- Over the past 6 months or so, I have tried to introduce other (non-DS) products into my regimen. Most recently, I tried using a sulfur based mask that is supposed to be helpful for acne prone skin (comes highly recommended). At first, I thought that it was helping. Now I am just left iritated an...

Hi Matt- You definitely have improvement but I understand your frustration. I have also been using the products for 1.25 years and my skin is still giving me a lot of trouble. I keep hoping that my skin will do a turn around and I will be able to report a "cure". I am trying to treat less ...

Hi Everyone- I do have pets in the house. They are not in my bed and I do not have any facial contact with them. I change my pillow case daily and I also fluff my pillows in the drier on high every few days. I use a new towel everday and use a fresh wash cloth every time that I wash my face. I do no...

Hi Everyone- I have been using the products for over a year now and I continue to have breakouts. Most of them, are on the small side but I still get bigger ones as well. Right now I am especially upset with a large inflamed area above my right eyebrow. It is very sore to the touch and itches slight...
