Zia Gel

Great Shave Gel!
After trying what feels like 100 products this is the only one that doesn't leeave my skin feeling 'tight' and de-hydrated. A great product that left no stinging feeling & didn't make my skin look much redder. Lasts for ages and I also use this as a shaving gel, which works brilliantly.

OK
This is a nice cleanser if you don't have much to take off of your face. I found it quite nice and non-irritating when I used on a day when I wore no makeup or heavy sunscreen. When I had the burning sensations, it didn't make things worse. Coupled with the Vita-Oil, it helped! My main reason for not using it now is that I live in Canada and it's too expensive importing it when I can get something equally good and a lot less expensive.

Good, sometimes
Zia cleansing gel is very gentle, and effective at removing most makeup -- it did not work well on removing my eye makeup, however. Sometimes it is a bit too drying for me, especially in Midwest change of seasons and dry winters. I would recommend it for oilier skins, but not those that are extremely temperamental. It is okay for me in a pinch, but currently I prefer good skin™ creamy cleanser, it is more soothing and more effective at removing makeup.

Changed Formula
I used Zia's Cleansing Gel for years and it really helped my rosacea. However, recently the company changed the formula and the new ingrediants completely torched my face. Since then I started using Dr. Murad's redness therapy cleansing gel and it really helps to control the flushing and it actually cleans better than Zia's cleansing gel.

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.
