Miracle cream! I just thought that I would write a quick review on this product as I never thought that anything would clear up my skin and stop it burning and looking bright red.I am only 25 and had rosacea for about 3 years,nothing prescribed helped at all,makeup looked awful,it was uncomfortable and depressing.Then I saw my accupuncturist for some back pain relief and whilst there enquired about my skin,he gave me this cream,first of all it really stings but dont be put off,my eyes still run everytime i put it on.On the second week your skin appears worse as its working then the normal colour returns,the spots disappear,your face may be flaky for a week or two(impossible to keep makeup on) but the three month final result are so worth while,my skin is like it was before any spots,healthy soft and balanced.I recomend it to everyone,and I only got through 1 pot every month and a half,applying 3 times a day.I am so much happier now,I feel pretty again. -- Anonymous - Subtype 2 - Moderate Rosacea - Report review

Burning! Day One: No results. Days Two and Three: Skin looked white and fabulous! Days Four - Six: Extreme dryness and flakiness. Despite what other people may say, I could not solve this with baby oil or any other type of moisturization. Day Seven: Skin still very white and dry. And the intense neuropathic burning/itching started. Prior to this, the only time I had neuropathic pain was when my rosacea was horrible because I quit using a steroid cream (that induced the rosacea) cold turkey. Day Eight: Discontinued. About two weeks later after the pain went away, I tried it again. You have to apply it VERY lightly (wet your finger and run it over the product to get a very fine film). My skin got very dry again, and as I thought the neuropathic pain may have been brought on from my skin being so incredibly dry, I stopped. I tried again later, just applying it at night every other day, and I still got extreme dryness. I think the zinc oxide may have been what helped my skin, and since there's ways of using zinc oxide without the dryness and possible neuropathic pain, I chunked this. Too expensive for too many side effects. This is just my experience, however; other people claim good results with it. -- katwalker - Subtype 2 - Mild Rosacea - Report review

Don't ruin your eyes Tried this product for several days. The fumes felt like they were burning off my corneas! Not to mention my nose. I'm amazed that anyone can actually tolerate this. Tried it a week later with the same results. This may have originated in China, but I suspect it was invented during the Tung Dynasty. Time for an update! -- Anonymous - Subtype 2 - Moderate Rosacea - Report review

worth trying I've used this product successfully for two years now and only need to use it once or twice a week for maintaining clear, itch-free skin. It is difficult to use in the beginning and I could only tolerate the tiniest amount every other day, but it is worth persevering with it for the end results. To start with I would just lightly touch the cream with one finger and press barely a fingerprint of cream onto the reddest areas and leave a day or two if the skin got too dry. After a few weeks the flakiness of my skin improved and now doesn't flake at all. The red areas and itching, together with the ever-present pimples around my nose have all gone. My nose still reddens more than average if I drink alcohol or eat too much sugar, but otherwise I look normal! -- Anonymous - Subtype 2 - Moderate Rosacea - Report review

Worked for me! I have had much success with this product. If you follow the directions, and use it for the complete 6 months like it suggests, you WILL see definite results! I had severe rosacea - on my cheeks, chin, forehead and nose. Since completing my treatment over a year ago, I now only have slight redness in the apples of my cheeks - just enough to looking like blush :-) I no longer use anything for treatment. I would, and have, highly suggest this product! -- Michele - Subtype 3 - Moderate Rosacea - Report review

Perservere I spent $500.00 on one Rosacea Laser treatment. Then ordered this cream. It works, but you must ride it out. I thoroughly believe the Dermodex theory. If I combine this with washing my hair with Tersaseptic which my dermatologist told me about 25 years ago, my skin problems are over. No more expensive laser, which worked minimally, probably kills the bugs but in a different way. Too bad dermatologists wouldn't fess up about this cream. They are getting like mechanics, you can't find an honest one, its all about the buck. My dermatologist prescribed me 400 Tetracycline, I didn't take one of them. Trust the Chinese in all things to do with health. -- Anonymous - - Mild Rosacea - Report review

Red Pez I have only been using ZZ Cream for 4 days, after trying everything else. I dont want to get too excited but I am sure I can see some improvement already, and the itching has stopped. I use it twice a day, and dont mind the eye watering as it stops after 10 minutes or so. It dont dry my face anymore than soap does, but it is white and hard to hide, so I am looking forward to only using it at night. I will update the rating in a week if things continue to improve. -- Pezthebrave - Subtype 2 - Mild Rosacea - Report review

Amazing! This cream has been my salvation! After 2 long years of battling moderate type 2 rosacea, I bought this product in total desperation. The oral and topical meds were not working and I was constantly red and covered in blemishes. I have very dry, sensitive skin,and was frightened to try something strong and not FDA approved. But I'm soooooo glad I did. The improvement was immediate and dramatic! Within 2 weeks all of the papules and postules are totally gone and my skin is down to a light rosy pink instead of an angry bright pink. Honestly, I'm completely amazed and incredibly grateful! I use a light layer at night just before bed. It does make my eyes tear a little bit--but since I'm goign to sleep it's no big deal. And it does dry my already dry skin out more. So, I;ve started using jojoba oil in the morning and early evening. Dryness gone! A word of advice--wash your face thoroughly in the morning after using Z cream. I developed a white-ish build up after a couple of weeks because I didn't wash it off in the morning (thought it was all absorbed). A smile wash clears that up... I know I sound like an infomercial, and truly, I don't work for the company. Truly, this cream has saved my skin and returned it to a mild rosacea state. It sounds too good to be true, yes--but it is. I even canceled my laser appointment and stopped taking all prescription meds!:) -- Anonymous - Subtype 2 - Moderate Rosacea - Report review

I Wouldn't Have Believed It I’m fifty-four years old and have been an avid surfer for most of my life. Needless to say, the sun has taken a toll on my skin and my rosacea only complicates matters. For the last few years I’ve pretty much used only water to wash my face. Having tried almost everything, I’d pretty much given up on the search for a soap that wouldn’t aggravate my condition. My dermatologist was of little help. It seemed that anything I put on my face just turned it red. In fact my face was red most of the time. Then one day I came across this website and read the reviews. I started using the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, followed by the Zhongzhou Medical Ointment. I then used the CeraVe moisturizer to prevent my skin from drying out. Well it’s been about six weeks now and I can’t believe the results. No more blemishes, itching or scaling, and the redness is all but completely gone. I’m so glad I came across this website, and I want to thank everyone who took the time to write these reviews. The Zhongzhou Ointment is the key. I don’t know how or why, but it works. Use it sparingly; a little goes a long way. The camphor makes it feel a little like “Vicks” or “Icy Hot”, but I didn’t find it annoying. -- Old Surfer - Subtype 2 - Moderate Rosacea - Report review

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.
