getting it on smooth

my zz wasn't lasting as long as it was supposed to I often had white splotches that wouldn't rub in the longer a jar had been open, the worse this got because the zz would get dryer and dryer every time I opened the jar to use it I tried dampening my face with distilled water and the zz went on a lo...

also

I went really gung ho for a while and put ZZ on three times a day, instead of twice a day. This really seemed to clear up the pimples most effectively. Latelyl, I've been using zz at night and xmfl in morning. By the time 12 hours passes, my face is itching and I'm getting a few whiteheads. I'm thin...

There is psoriasis looking stuff behind my ears

About two weeks into treatment, I decided to put some zz behind my ears, on my neck and chest. Behind my ears immediately started itching like crazy and has not let up for an entire month. It now looks like I have psoriasis behind and under my ears. My chest had no reaction with first application, n...

systemic cleanup

What is your diet like? Do you have regular bowel movement? Have you ever cleansed your liver and/or colon? Sounds like a sytemic approach might be helpful to keep thing from surfacing. The skin is an organ or elimination. Problems with skin is often an indication of deeper underlying systemic issues.

demodex curiosity

Faqs says you can catch demodex by kissing somebody that has them. It also says you inherit them from your mother. My dad has Rosacea, but my mother does not. Are there people who carry them and pass them on, without having symptoms? Is it important to cleanse the liver and blood too? How deep do th...

XFML Report

I ordered a two month supply of zz with xfml for daytime use. There was a lot of air in the first jar I opened. Between the air bubble and the fact that my skin is soaking this stuff up like a sponge, I doubt it will last more than two weeks, even though it is supposed to be a month supply. I am get...

Skin is looking pretty good today

My skin is looking pretty good today. Everybody thinks I'm crazy. I can tell by the way they say "You are really brave! Have you thought about seeing a dermatologist instead?"

Two Week Report and Request for Encouragement

It's been a little over two weeks since I started treatment. The first week my face was covered with white pustules every morning. Now my face is just very dry, rough and red, with some itchy spots, but very few pustules. The dryness is really scaring me because I am over 50 and I'm afraid the wrink...

Questions

I walk the dogs in the park in the afternoons. Should I be wearing a hat with a big brim to keep the sun off my face, and/or using a sun screen, or does the zinc oxide provide the protection I need? How long does it take zz to do it's thing after you apply a treatment? 30 minutes, an hour, two hours...

thank you for the thoughtful comments and advice

I am fifty and most people say I look younger. I like it that way. I sure hope this stuff doesn't make me look older than I am. I might consider ironing out a few wrinkles if I suddenly looked a whole lot older in a matter of a few weeks.

Ok this is what I am doing

I have been terribly worried that I will have bad wrinkles when this is over because someone told me she put something on her face that dried it out and afterwards she needed a face lift. I already have some wrinkles and I don't want more. But a friend of mine said "Don't worry Glaxony, I will ...

Lordy Oh Lordy!

I put a very small amount of the the zz on my face and broke out with hundreds of tiny little whiteheads. My face feels like it's going to crack. It burns and itches like crazy. Yet I persist because I do not want parasites living on my face. For hours after applying zz it itches so bad I want to sc...
