100 days! A little over 3 months..... Face was at a standstill for weeks - nothing new to report. A few occasional flare episodes, mostly related to pms or stress. As of yesterday, my face is peeling - dry dry dry again - hoping to see that new beautiful skin underneath! This zz cream is a wild ride...

LOOOOOOVE the new consistency of the ZZ cream! Easy to apply, not cakey, and I don't have to get my face wet!

59 Days using ZZ Cream. Face is becoming less dry. Still dryer than I would like, but I am seeing results, so I am willing to hang in. Face is smoother also. Flushing because of spicy food and wine, and because of environmental factors is greatly minimized. I still flush when embarrassed, very stres...

Frankly, part of my problem is that I never have avoided triggers - I have avoided the sun, and protected my skin from elements..... I just love my food and vino too much! The flushing is noticeably different, however, when I do drink red wine or coffee or hot chocolate. I would call it a 2 or 3 rat...

Verrrrrrrrrry impressed, Artist. Flushing, especially, was vastly improved.

Love it!

Thanks so much for the quick reply!

I had forgotten about those pesky brown spots. I am thinking about getting IPL to take care of the visible veins (that seem to be more visible because my face isn't so red!).

Have a great day!

Day 36 Still loving the zcream. Need to order more! Worked and travelled during the week - flushing down, and redness is ONLY when I flush. My "butterfly" zone is fading slowly away. Less dry - skin tolerates more washing with acarid soap and thicker layer of zcream.. QUESTIONS: 1. Can I g...

DAY 29. Face is less dry - still need to moisturize during the day - using cethaphil moisturizing cream for sensitive skin and light foundation. Redness still decreasing - flushing episodes at total minimum. I am VERY happy! I had one strange break out of those itchy spots a few days ago - it went a...

Sounds like the reaction I had - itchy and dry for many many days!

Don't remember what day I am on - still controlling the flushing and some redness.

Had a small outbreak around my period - could it have been the six pieces of chocolate cake??????!!!

Hey Tamara - thanks for sticking up for the litttle people!!

How have you worked Zcream into your routine, and at what point in your "mite recovery" did you begin to use it? I am thinking about using it in the morning as a moisturizer.

Thanks!

Played sports outside in FREEZING windy weather today for 1 .5 hours, and went for another 45 minute walk - brought the scarf this time! Came home from the walk, and immediately went to a friend's house and had hot roasted red pepper soup for lunch. NO FLUSHING!!!!!!!!! My cheeks were a little chapp...

The soap did not irritate my skin - it just cleaned it and made my skin dry. I have found the soap very gentle, actually.

Day 19. The most interestiing thing just happened. After a mid-size dinner (complete with tomato sauce, pasta and chicken and jsut a COUPLE cookies!), I went for a 45 minute walk in the 22 degree cold - wind in my face cold - and I forgot my scarf to cover my face. I came home, and just took a hot s...

Day 17. Face is actually looking better - less red! Still itchy and dry - I am feeling lots of pimple like bumps along my hairline on the back of my neck. Face also feels a little smoother. I am being very cautious about being excited....I have been dissapointed so many times. No major break outs. T...

Thanks all! After I wash with acarid soap, I dry my face and apply super-moisturizing cream around my eye area. Then, I re-wet my face, and apply z-cream. My face is looking a little better - now that I have my eyes under control, I can tolerate the dryness. No major breakouts yet - I am on day 12.
