Guest guest Posted March 16, 1999 Report Share Posted March 16, 1999 I am reading great things about Zia but was wondering if anyone has experienced a degree of dryness after cleansing. The ingredients listed for Zia include Cetyl alcohol which could cause dryness for some users depending on percentage contained in formulation. I have purchased the AFE Camomile Cleanser and find it extremely soothing and calming and my redness has been reduced incredibly. The only problem I am experiencing is dryness after use. Anyone else experiencing dryness from AFE? even though my skin has never looked more radiant and clear. As for those looking for a new foundation that covers redness and is not drying. I received a sample from AFE (same company that sells the Camomile Cleanser) of their custom blend enriched foundation. Although I was reluctant to try this foundation because it was not oil free I absolutely LOVE it for its smooth, non irritating texture and beautiful coverage . I have extremely dry skin. I have experienced no breakouts whatsoever after 4 days of use and am delighted so far. I would recommend sending for a sample before purchasing entire foundation which is very expensive, especially the custom blend. Check out the AFE website for more info on the custom blend foundation at www.cosmetics.com. Phone Number for AFE is . I am also awaiting a sample of their blotchiness treatment cream, formulated for those with rosacea and will report the results. Good luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
