Are you sure you need a prescription ?
I never had any trouble getting my orders from China to Switzerland....not sure why it should be any different for Finland ??

If I remember well, the mites tend to die off in "waves" (every 14 days or so I would get a bigger breakout during the first few months of using the treatment). Im my case, I had quite bad breakouts until the 5th month of treatment so I guess what you are experiencing in nothing really unu...

I never liked the X cream really. I felt like it didnt "do" anything and actually made my skin look worse (shiny, greasy). I'm very happy with the zz cream but for some reason can never get 100% clear. My skin is better than it has been in years though (and I got rid of the nasty painful c...

Hey Tamara ! I've started the treatment back in November 2005. Have had breakouts since I was around 20/22 (Im now 35). I would consider my condition to be mild but very stubborn. I would only get few pimples each month but they were all large, deepset and painful (cystic type). My condition got wor...

Its just becoming insane.

Has anyone noticed the connection between a weak immune system and rosacea/acne ? I had been completely clear for a couple weeks and started getting blemishes (small ones) a few days ago as I was coming down with the flu. Also...I've tried starting the maintenance programm but not sure I could stay ...

Nicsunflower : No, I didnt have general redness at all (that is why I didnt think I had rosacea). On the other hand, I would get bright red at the slightest effort (or strong emotions)....this doesnt seem to occur anymore. I used to get very deep, painful cysts that would take forever to go away (me...

I am finally completely clear after using the ZZ cream for about 14 months (stopped using it twice for a few weeks during the past year and pimples came back). I realise I will probably have to treat religiously for an indefinite time but as long as I stay clear, I dont mind. I've had mild but persi...

After being clear for a couple months...I ran out of ZZ cream again and stopped treating for about 6 weeks (end of September till beginning of November). The mites definitely came back and I started breaking out again at the end of October (that's when I panicked and ordered more ZZ). Ive been treat...

Thanks a lot for your answer Walter....I definitely should not have stopped treating for a whole month!!!! Now I have to deal with another setback...but I am also sure my acne is caused by thoses mites and I KNOW I will get better!!! Very happy about finding these products....even if you have to be ...

After 6 months of regular treatment with ZZ cream I finally got clear (at the end of May). I had run out of ZZ cream and waited a couple weeks to order more....didnt use any for a few weeks and stayed clear. I've been using it again every day for the past two weeks and started breaking out again a f...

Hey ! I would definitely advise you against going on accutane !! The reason being that my derm prescribed it to me (10 years ago) even though my acne was pretty mild at the time. The only thing it did for me was to make my condition worse during the whole time I was on it (and not even mentioning al...

Hey Reny ! I've read somewhere that those demodex mites mostly feed on yeast and sugars (cant remember where I read that though but you can find some articles about it on the internet). In my case, I have always noticed acne flare ups when I would eat too much sugar/carbs/bread and thought my acne w...

Thanks for your answer Marla :) Right now my skin still looks really bad. Seems that I am getting less pimples but the ones I get now are the persistent (cystic) type. I can feel a new one growing on my chin right now, the inflamation is very deep within the skin...it hurt really bad :cry: I so desp...

So I am now 14 weeks into the treatment with ZZ cream which I was only using once a day. Since one week, I added treatment with XFML in the morning. I currently only have 2 active pimples (one of them is really nasty looking, because I have this really bad habit of picking at my skin and making ever...
