Re: zincO cream

[Guest guest]

a,

I use the vita oil first before the ZincO, but I would think that it would

also be great directly on your skin. It's very light and soothing. Hope

you like it too,

Jen

>I just ordered the ZincO Cream from Dr. Sy and am looking forward to using

it. For those of you who have sampled it or tested it for Dr. Sy, other than

topical medication, do you put anything under the ZincO as a barrier? In

other words, do you use moisturizer? Or does the ZincO do fine directly on

sensitive skin?

Hi Carolyn,

Unfortunately the list of ingredients isn't on the tubes that I have here,

but I do know that there is no mineral oil in it! They don't have a list of

ingredients printed out yet, but should have one soon. If you call the toll

free number (1-) they are really helpful and can tell you

pretty much what's in it from memory!

Jen: Will the zincO cream work for protecting the skin when going on a

vacation where there will be lots of heat and sun? I'm going to Tahiti, and

I'm wondering if this cream will suffice as my sunscreen.

Hi ,

The zincO is SPF 20, so it's a great daily sunscreen for us. I can't say if

it would be enough for your face in all that sun on vacation though. You

might want something with a higher SPF if your skin can tolerate it. If it

were me, I would be sure to have my big sun hat too! Have a great time!

Our Sy ZincO Cream SPF 20 should give your face good protection in

Tahiti. Remember, it is a physical sunblock using microfine zinc oxide which

protects from UVA, UVB and visible light. Physical sunblock works much like

" an umbrella " on your skin. Therefore, applying a thicker layer will offer

better protection. Good to re-apply a second time during the day and of

course, wearing a wide brimmed hat helps too. Don't forget to apply a

sunscreen on your torso as well. You've got skin there too and skin cancers

develop as frequently on the torso. Most rosaceans can tolerate chemical

sunscreens on their body - so you can choose one with SPF 30 for the torso.

We offer an excellent waterproof sweatproof sunscreen that contains Parsol

1789 called Recreational Sunscreen SPF 30. This has worked very well for

many in this group.

A few more tips on sunscreen: 1) Be sure not to leave your sunscreens in a

hot car or expose it to extremes in temperature as it may lose some of its

efficacy. Sunscreens should have an expiration date - look for it. 2) When

applying sunscreen on face, use your fingertips, so as not to leave out

certain areas. 3) Do not forget to apply on the nape of neck, ears and the

lips - very often missed areas and high incidence of skin cancers. Men with

thinning hair - don't forget the scalp. 4) Apply adequate amount - for the

face, 1/2 to 1 tsp amt. For the entire body - about 1 oz. for an adult

wearing only bathing trunks. 5) Re-apply after 3 hours, after swimming &

heavy perspiration, no matter what the sunscreen label says. 6) Finally,

sunscreens, especially for fair-complexioned rosaceans, should be a

year-round routine, even on cloudy days. Consistency is paramount!

Enjoy your vacation!

Dr. Sy:

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to respond to my question to

Jen. That was very thoughtful of you, and I have ordered the Zinc-O and Vita

Oil. I hope I will have it this week. I will call tomorrow and order your

recreational sunblock as well.

Now I can only hope that the heat in Tahiti won't cause me to be red-faced

and stinging the entire time I'm there. If it does, everyone will just think

I'm sunburned! This all started for me after I had a facelift. I keep

hoping that it will go away (it's been one year). If it doesn't, I'm going

to look into some light laser because I probably got a lot of broken

capillaries due to the surgery.

Anyway, thanks again for taking the time. I do appreciate it.

I do not write that often to the group but I just wanted to let you know

about my experience lately. I love this group and have been with it for a

very long time. can vouch for that. We have lost some great people

(Kerry, Skylar -- are you guys still out there) and have gained some

wonderful people (, Jim -- you are a great help). I know some have been

here long (Matija, Angelee, Bill) and thank you all. My rosacea can only be

described as severe for the last five years. I have tried everything and

basically was using Noritate and Klaron (spotting on the acne areas). I

can't use makeup or soap on my skin and I have washed my face with water for

the last several years. I decided to try Sy's new trial size zinco

cream and I am amazed at how it is working for me. I could never use

sunscreen before (burning sensation) so this is amazing to me. I simply wash

off at night with a warm towel and even the mornings seem better. I did have

five photoderm treatments done and stopped for financial reasons but I feel

like I have been reborn with the zinco cream. Anyone who has not tried it

yet should just invest in the trial size and use it alone for a while to see

if you have any results. Honest to God, nothing has ever helped me before

and this is just the most incredible feeling I could cry. I hope this lasts

because life has never looked so beautiful. It's only been three weeks so

far and I just ordered the full size. God bless and I pray we all find our

answer out there. Dr. Sy, thank you so much for all you have done for us.

Zinco is working great for me too!!!!!! Thanks Dr. Sy!!!!!

Hi Group and Dr. Sy,

I have been meaning to write this post for a while. I want to add my thanks

to the group and Dr. Sy for developing, introducing, and testing the ZnO

cream. II have been using it for about three weeks and love it. It calms

down my face, and evens out my skin tone. The color happens to be compatible

with my complexion, allowing me to get away without wearing make-up. How is

that for regaining lost freedom! I have even been able to cut back on my

daytime topical medication (Cleocin-T).

This is a true example of the payoff resulting from hard work, perseverance

and cooperation.
