Hi - I've been using the zz every night for about three weeks now and occasionally the xfml in the morning (it tends to make my skin quite red, so I don't use it all the time). In the last few days, my skin has become very tight and wrinkly (especially around the eyes and cheeks). It sort of looks (...

I'm pleased for you BB, glad the xfml is working. I'm still stoically sticking to the zz and my skin is bearable now, still a little tight and dry but unnoticable to anyone but me. Thanks to everyone else for advice too. I'm still getting lots of seriously itchy bumps that drive me crazy, but am rel...

Hi Natalie - I don't know the answer to your make-up question although from reading posts on this forum I think people recommend trying not to use it.
But I also have the same question regarding sun screen.

Walter, can you help?

Thanks,
CJ

mine's really bad at the moment too. Usually I get just the occasional itchy bump and general flushed, slightly uneven, rough look but now I have about ten bumps all over my face and they itch like mad. What I think is interesting though and what compels me to continue is that the reaction it causes...

yeah - the xfml is way more moisturising and since I've been using this in the mornings instead of the z (which I was using, like you, morning and evening for a few days - I think I got over excited and over zealous!) my skin has lost some of the dryness. I find it very tempting to go back to my old...

Hi BBB! How's it going now? I think I started using the products at about the same time as you and seem to be experiencing similar effects. My skin was very dry and flakey around the lines between my nose and mouth and a bit on my cheeks and the itchy spots were WAY more itchy, angry and numerous th...

Just to let you all know, if you're interested, there are tons of microscopes available on ebay if you want to buy one. The student starter version should be sufficient to detect the mites and I found one as cheap as ?2.60 (about 5 US$) - although I didn't bid for it as I was imagining some poor chi...

yeah - my eyes do water a bit - but I'm starting to like the feeling - weird! And my old moisuriser is completely redundant - good job too as it was really expensive.........
Looking forward to the "sloughing off" effect when it happens.
Take care all,
CJ

um, yes, kind of icy - doesn't sound so scary when you put it like that! Thanks. I haven't experienced any dryness yet, but I guess I have that to look forward to. Interestingly, my forehead is normally a bit greasy and since I've been using the xfml instead of my normal moisuriser, it has cleared u...

hi everyone - I've just used the z cream for the first time tonight and was astonished to find my skin feeling really.......I don't know whether it was burning or freezing! Is this normal? I'm freaking out a bit at the moment but am determined to leave it on as it seems to be dying down a bit. I onl...

Hey! Thanks everyone for replies. I have taken heed and have decided not to go ahead with IPL until after I have tried these products - then try it to help clear any left over red veins and bumps. Am looking forward to receiving the zz and Xthingy and have convinced my husband to try it too as he al...

Hi there, I'm new to this site and am reading with interest all your messages. I was wondering if anyone had tried other methods for controling their rosacea such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light - I think!) or V-beam. I have a consult tomorrow with a doctor here in London who specialises in this treatm...
