I like the Zinco too it goes on real well and feels so nice on my skin. It

helps the texture but I am sorry to say does not help the flushing but maybe

that will come with more use. I guess photoderm is my next step to get rid of

the damaged vessels that keep causing the flushing. Hey my big fear is that I

will go to the doctor for a consultatoin and he will tell me oops sorry you

are not a good candidate can't help you. Anyone else think this prior to

their photoderm or am I the only nuerotic? LOL

I have been using it for several days (close to a week) now. It still feels

" warm " when I put it on but it looks great on me and my skin looks good!

I'm getting great results! I got my tube slightly over one week ago

and am using it every morning. It's *significantly* decreased the

redness and is well tolerated by my skin. I have combo skin (very oily

t-zone), it seems to be just enough moisturizer for me w/o increasing

the oiliness. I'm not getting any tightness or breakouts. I'm amazed

at the way my face looks - I really didn't think it would make as big a

difference as it is.

I don't post real frequently to the group because I view the

alternative list archive, where you can't respond directly, but I've

read every day for the last 10 months and have gotten wonderful

suggestions here - grapeseed extract, EPO, zinc oxide, jojoba oil,

makeup, powder, acne cover lotion, food triggers ...

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions and support.

Looking over the past few weeks of posts, you'll find lots of people

who've had great experiences with ZincO Cream. I'm still doing great

on it. I react to almost all commercial products. After almost 3 to 4

months of using ZincO, my face still loves it. I think one of the

problems that arise for those who are formulating otc products for

rosacea is that there are no consistent triggers among us. I hope that

helps!

Yes, I'm having wonderful results, and I've had a

pretty poor history with all things topical! The color

seemed a little too orange at first, but I'm either

applying it differently now or getting used to it

because I don't notice it anymore. It doesn't so much

" cover-up " as " blend " the skin tone, which I like--it

doesn't look like I'm wearing a cakey concealer or

anything, much more natural. And my skin feels so

smooth, now--it helps to keep the bumps at bay, but

even the areas of my skin that aren't affected by the

rosacea are benefitting from the Zinc-O. I really am

pleased with it. And if I apply it while my skin is

still slightly damp, it functions wonderfully as a

moisturizer. I've even tried putting 's

concealing powder over top, and it looks quite

nice--looks like I'm wearing a little make-up, which I

am, but nothing overbearing (I'm real concerned with

this--I'm an all-natural gal!). And it doesn't feel

heavy, like many moisturizers and make-ups I've tried.

Believe me, I was surprised that I've fared so well

with this--I'm sure the improvement I've been

experiencing from photoderm has allowed my skin to

tolerate things it couldn't tolerate 6 months ago.

For those who have mentioned that their skin feels

warm or begins to flush when they apply the Zinc-O: I

know that my skin often feels this way when I apply

just about anything, and I've found that it's really

the friction of my rubbing the compound into the skin.

I'm especially susceptible to this feeling if I've

just washed my skin. I don't seem to have much of that

now, thanks to photoderm, but I'm familiar with the

feeling many of you have described. Perhaps that's

what's happening to some of you, rather than a

reaction to the ingredients in the product itself.

Take care...

Jim,

ZincO is not an oil-based product or I wouldn't be able to use it. I

think it has a minute amount of olive oil in it. Olive oil is the 15th

ingredient listed out of 18 listed. A topical application of olive oil

on my skin would make it into " bump city " !

Also, applying rosacea-friendly oils such as jojoba, Dr. Sy's vita oil

or hemp oil seems to cool my face down. It's funny how some of us

react the opposite with the same ingredients.

I do know that iron oxides in some eyeshadows give me a red, burning

rash. It says on the label that iron oxides may be in ZincO. Could

this be the culprit for some? I don't know if it is. I'm just

guessing.

<<For those who have mentioned that their skin feels warm or begins to flush

I am not currently using Zinc-O, but I believe that it is an oil-based

product. I have noticed an initial " warm " feeling when applying oils and

oil-based products to my facial skin, particularly with heavier

applications. Just an observation.

I see that Dr. Sy's new web site is coming up now - quite an improvement!!

Site is not fully functional at the time of this writing, but is certainly

worth a look. Some of the site components are functional. Very Classy.

OOPS!

Thanks for the correction; there is enough confusion out there already

concerning Zinc-O. I tried to verify the ingredients before posting, but

could not locate them on the new web site. I remembered that it contained

Olive Oil. I'll check it out some more when the new web site is up.

Beth's definitely on target here--if you have a

pre-existing condition that makes you extremely

photosensitive (e.g., lupus) or one that interferes

with your healing processes (a blood disorder or

diabetes), you may be turned away. Most docs don't

like to treat during pregnancy either (less because of

potential harm to the fetus than because pregnancy

taxes your immune system such that healing is often

slower), and most will ask you to wait 6mos or so post

Accutane treatment. Those are the only stipulations I

know of.

I was nervous, too, Noreen--I had heard such wonderful

things about this treatment that I dreaded the

possibility that a provider would tell me I couldn't

have it done! However, two things to remember are: 1)

you're probably eligible anyway, and 2) there are, as

we are all learning, many many different ways of

managing rosacea--if photoderm is not an option for

you, there are others.

Good luck!

It's thicker, but I had better concealing effects with it. It shined a

little, but I never heard one comment by anyone asking if I was wearing

something.

No, people don't comment, but the redness on my face is more evident with

Dr. Sy's. It helps conceal it, but it doesn't cover it like the Aloe up

does. The only drawbacks to the Aloe up are the fact that it rubs off and

that it doesn't apply well with the seb derm.
