It's been a while but if I remeber correctly it took a little over a week to heal. If you are using the soap try stopping that for a few days also. I use the soap as a body soap but I cannot use it on my face. I was never able to use the X cream either it made my face extremely red and it burned. I ...

I had a similar problem when I tried to use the cream on my neck. It was red, dry and burned. I just stopped putting cream on my neck, my face and neck healed nicely.

Good Luck!!

QUESTIONS: 1. Can I get IPL while using zcream? Hi Millie, I would wait on the IPL, based on your earlier posts you mention "crows feet" so I am assuming you are not in your 20's :). I spent a lot of time in the sun when I was younger and that resulted in some brown spots. The IPL will ma...

Yes, you could start using the ZZ Cream after the IPL treatments, but I would wait at least 7-10 days. That's how long they told me it would take for any healing/flaking to take place. If you have any brown spots, from the sun or scarring the IPL with make them darker brown and crusty before they go...

Hey Red. I'm no expert but I had IPL treatments before I found this website. What I can tell you is the IPL will definately reduce some of the redness but it's temporary. I think the IPL kills off some of the mites but it does not kill all of them and in time you are infested all over again. Again. ...

Hi Anja, This is just my observation, I don't know if this is true for everyone. I started using the ZZ cream just over a year ago. When I first started the sulfur smell was a little overwhelming especially when I took my blankets and sheets/pillow cases out of the dryer. It seemed like the heat mad...

Here's what I do... I never actually put my fingers in the jar of ZZ cream. (For no reason other than I can easily control the amount of ZZ cream I use and it doesn't get under my fingernails.) I use an orangewood stick (usually used by manicurists). I scoop a small amount of the ZZ cream, dampen th...

Funny thing - my lips are peeling since I've been using the z cream. Even though I obviously dont apply the cream to my lips, but to the surrounding areas. Is it just me?[/quote]

No, It's not just you my lips were very dry too.
See if you can find some Cococare Cocoa Butter lip balm it helps!!

I'll quote my dermatologist for this one. "Sunlight kills bacteria" I remember someone on this message board mentioning how in September all the kids came back to school with clear skin because they were under less stress in the summer. I remember thinking it had less to do with stress but...

Hi mitymite, I just read your post and thought I'd throw in my $.02. From my experience if I used too much of the ZZ cream my face would turrn red. If you have used 3/4 of a jar since 8/25 or 8/26 you are probably using way too much. Only very little is necessary one jar should last a month if you a...

Hi Zach!! It seems that I was pretty much clear after 6 weeks. I only use the ZZ at night because my skin was extremely dry. I use very little, a one month supply lasted 2 months. If I use too much my skin turns a little red.and burns. But everyone reacts differently. Also I apply while my face is d...

Thanks for all your help and advice Steve!! I do pretty much the same thing. I have seven towels, seven pillow cases, and a ton of washcloths. I wash the pillow cases towels and my blankets at least twice a week so I never run out. (The blankets I do because the dog tends to sleep on my bed, not a g...

Thanks Steve!! You are absolutely correct and I had forgotten but I was not feeling well (one of those end of the season colds) and I fell asleep one night and never treated my face. Also because I was so tired I got lazy with changing the pillow cases and towels every day!!! When I got home from wo...
