Washing ZZ cream off after application

Post by E-Man »

Hey guys.. I'm kind of having problems with the ZZ cream.. I usually apply it a few minutes before I sleep (Walter has recommended me to apply it in the night time instead of both night and day). The problem is that I can't really stand the smell.. :( My pillow smells like ZZ cream, my whole room smells like ZZ cream, and on the next day when I sweat at school I start to smell like ZZ cream :D (Even though I take a shower in the morning)

Can I wash ZZ cream off a few minutes after application? Or is there anything I can do about this smell?

Thankyou!

Hey E-Man,

Nobody ever seems to notice me wearing the ZZ. It does smell a little sulfur-like.

How is your treatment coming. Are you still 100% clear?

Thanks,

Andrei

Hi E-Man,

Those demodex mites probably can't stand the smell either :D

It's them or you.

I am not sure but common logic tells me that you need to have the cream on your face when these little suckers surface in order for them to be killed. Just a guess but washing the cream off in a few mins. is probably not going to do much at all for you.

Maybe Walter will weigh in on this for us all?

Yes, I am still clear, but I occasionally get a new zit, but it usually goes away within 2 days. I'm just confused why I apply ZZ in the night, take a shower the next morning, and still smell like ZZ :D

Everyone complains that my room smells like crap :D but I don't care.

Yep, I was thinking that too, but I think it's probably best if we get Walter's opinion on this so we can know for sure :)

The ZZ needs to stay on the skin so any surfacing mites will be killed,
if you wash it of after some minutes this treatment will not help much.
