I have no idea what to rotate it with, if you find anything, I'd be glad to hear it. I don't want to use the Metro cream. My BF is really into natural essential oils, they are great for a lot of things, and there might be some that are effective against mites, hard to say. I suspect it is the sulfur...

I don't use some of the harsh soaps I see recommended here. I use a really gentle facial cleansing product I get at the health food store, it's barely even soap. I also only use the zz cream at night, twice a day was too drying for me. However, I'm at the 5 month mark or longer, and I'm still breaki...

Moisturizing product I found, no oil, seems to work wonders!

I just had to share this - I have no stock or interest or anything in this company, it's just something I stumbled on while surfing the net. I had ordered some health products from this company before, and they've come up with their own skin product - a moisturizer/wrinkle cream, and the free sample...

I do also agree that diet is a big factor. I''m at about the 3 month mark now, though I use the Z cream mostly at night, and I'm getting some of the biggest, most painful zits of my life. I"ve never had a bad rosacea problem, but I am getting a little bit of a red nose thing, now, too, and pimp...

Tamara, thanks for your reply, I am hoping my post is not misinterpreted as complaining, though. I am seeing results with the ZZ cream and don't intend to stop using it just because of the smell - I never had a really bad skin problem, but it's working wonders on the "hormonal" acne, and t...

Getting Sulfer Smell from ZZ ointment out of Clothes, Sheets

I don't think I've ever read any complaints here from anyone about the sulfer smell from the ZZ cream. I do have quite a nose for odors, but my boyfriend notices it, too, and it is really bothering both of us. I am finding that my whole bed smells like sulfur now, as do most of my clothes and towels...

Walter - shipping on multiples and frequency question

Hi Walter, I'm about to place another order, I'm using just the ZZ cream and I might try the shampoo, since the weirdest thing has occurred - since i've been using the ZZ on my face, I am now getting painful little pimples on my scalp, which I didn't have before. I was going to order 2 jars of the Z...

Thanks, Walter. I do use the Z cream twice a day, since I thought that was what I had to do during the initial treatment. Would once a day suffice? I would much prefer to use it just at night, but I want it to be effective. I think the last time I was dealing with the extreme dryness of twice-a-day ...

I really like Bare Minerals make-up, but I use it very lightly, and not every day. I work at home, so I get to go without make-up a lot. I used to use MAC, but liked the idea of using something more natural. I think MAC still uses a lot of the same earth pigments, but has chemicals in it, also. The ...

Z cream and moisturizer

It's been probably a year since I've used the z-cream, i used it initially for more of a slight rosacea problem around my nose and some occasional breakouts. The peeling, itchy rash never came back around my nose, but after many months of clear skin (even though I had totally stopped the cream), my ...

I just started using the z cream again after a long break just a few days ago, and I definitely have to use a moisturizer in between. I stick to all natural moisturizers that I buy at the health food store, the ones that don't even contain pareben preservatives. Aubrey makes a few different kinds fo...

liver flush

Diana, I do like Unicity's Li Fiber, you could try looking them up on the net, I think their site would be at http://www.makelifebetter.com (?) At least that's the site I use when I order, but I have a customer number I use to order wholesale thru my naturopath, since it's a multi-level company. I d...

cleansing

It's funny, I have not been in this forum for many months and just decided to check it out today and saw your post. I have been using natural methods for the past fifteen years with many, many significant improvements in health as a result. Not everything I've tried has been beneficial, there has be...

Before I got the z cream, I read bought a Yonka product that is basically essential oils of lavender, geranium & some other natural essential oils emulsified in water because in surfing the web I read about a woman who said she had tried everything for a rash around her nose and mouth that sound...

I"ve been reading all over these boards for quite some time, and the worseing sounds like what many people experience during the "die-off" phase. Just push through it. I never put it directly under my eyes, I think that's too close to the eye and the skin there is pretty delicate. I h...
