The Best!
I cannot live
without ZincO. The flesh color tint is just enough to give my skin a
nice finish without looking like makeup. The texture is just creamy
enough to be soothing without breaking me out in spots. I've used
this product now for several years and through all my skin changes
with acne rosacea, ZincO stays a favorite product. And it protects
against the suns harmful rays, Perfect!

This stuff is great!
I really like the tinted Zinco. It tones my redness down and it acts as a skin protectant from the cold and heat. It is a product that I do not ever want to be without!

Can't live without it
I've been on Zinco for a little over a year now and it works great. It goes on quite nicely and spreads evenly. I've regained my confidence back since I don't have that residual redness on my face. I stock up on this product and hope they never run out.

Not for me
Easier to blend than the untinted version, however the colour was much too dark for me, and left me with orange skin. Looks too much like makeup, and also left me skin shiny.

a significant help
I bought one bottle, and have only used it when I'm going to be in front of a crowd (which I abhor but still had to do in college and being in weddings...) I have to say that it evened out appearance on my face well. I have pretty bad perm redness, so it didn't cover it up completely, but it did help a lot. The only two drawbacks were the smell... not a bad smell but to me smelled a little like putty. And if you apply to much it gets shiny. Other than that, good product.

Rosacea Subtypes
Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea
characterized by persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples.
Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea
characterized by skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue.
Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea
characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids,
recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.
Rosacea Stages
Pre-Rosacea
the first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal
persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.
Mild Rosacea
begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time - usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who
have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat,
cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.
Moderate Rosacea
as facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory
papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where
flushing is worst.
Severe Rosacaea
characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop
intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous
enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
