my journal - day 5

[flockster]

i received my zz cream a few days ago and i will use this thread to keep you informed how i'm doing.

my skin before starting treatment:
- many pimples and pustules / sometimes one or two days without any pimple at all and then it starts all over again
- always red / flushing
- always extremly oily and also sometimes flaky
- huge (!) pores

also hair loss.

have tried almost everything to cure these but nothing really worked. i have now used zz cream for 5 days (morning and evening).

days 1 - 3:

it was absolutely amazing and incredible. i could not believe it because it was like a miracle. on day 3 it looked like i was almost cured.
i was so happy.
- pimples gone / redness fading away 75%
- skin texture improved massively (!!!) - pore size looked almost normal
- some old pimple scars began to start fading away

day 4:

- still very good looking but skin starting to become dry/flaky

day 5 (today):

- huge breakout pimples/pustules :(
- skin very red and extremly dry / flaky - have used moisturiser 3 times but still very very dry and flaky

i will now only use zz cream in the evening and some moisturizer in the morning. i think maybe it was a mistake to use it 2 times a day (because my skin is now so dry) but i wanted to see fast improvement so desperately.

i will keep you informed...

Hello

Thank you for your post
Eliminating demodex mites is not always an easy ride.........
Try to be patient and just continue treating, use one time in the
evening/night should be OK.
Those breakouts and redness again is because when the mites die, they decompose
and exposing their host specific bacteria and allergens into your skin,
this can create extra infections and reactions of your immune system (redness)
as soon the most mites are gone, this will stop.
Don't worry regarding dry skin, this is only temporarely and doesn't damage your skin,
it are only the dead upper cells.
You had anyway already a preview now how much better your skin will look again soon
