With most reports
it gets worse before it gets better.
Here are the steps (
original cream):
(1) Just before bed, wash face with
acarid soap (or non irritating soap or just warm water) and rinse with lots of water.
(2) Apply the ZZ cream on face especially the red areas and pimples (some prefer to dilute the ZZ cream with water). Let it dry before you lay your face on a pillow. Be careful when applying around your eyes, and if you do get near your eyes, close your eyes and then go to bed asap. ZZ cream causes tearing of the eyes.
(3) In AM, wash the ZZ cream off with just water. Then apply your favorite moisturizer. Many have recommended rose hip oil or shea butter or whatever your favorite moisturizer.
Repeat steps 1 thru 3 each day.
(4) For the
cosmetic version it seems to be easier to blend into the skin so you can apply a fresh amount in the am or if you prefer apply a moisturizer instead. Your choice.

These are the directions provided by
Demodex Solutions:
Directions for use:
1:Before application, wash the face and hands with warm water and a neutral soap, or better, our bar
acarid or liquid acarid removing soap (no longer available so use the
DermSol mild Foam Cleanser). Wipe the face dry (a slightly moist skin can make the application more easy for some people) the most easy way to apply the ointment is to put some tiny little dots everywhere on the face with a finger and then gently rub the ointment in, it is really not necessary to use a lot, just a tiny bit is enough. Repeat this procedure 2 times a day or use alternated with the
Fumanling cream. The most important application is in the evening with the
Zhongzhou ointment.
2:Try to avoid the use of cosmetics as much as possible during the treatment.
3:While using the ointment externally, the user can take 5-10 mg of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) 3 times a day at the same time, in addition, any product that can boost the immune system can be a help. Use the ointment strictly as advised and without interruption, even if the symptoms are gone, don't stop treating, the duration of treatment is minimum 90 days for Demodex folliculorum, and minimum 120 days for Demodex brevis.
4:Only by totally removing the demodex mites, one can eliminate the cause of the disease. If you have access to facilities to test for the presence of demodex mites (Or do yourself), you can follow the progress until the tests are negative but this is not really necessary since we are confident that the ointment will eliminate the mites and the results will speak for themselves.
5:This ointment does not produce any poisonous side effects to the human body, nor is it drug-fast. It can also be used as a preventative for people with only a few demodex mites and no symptoms yet. The application of the cream will eliminate the demodex mites before they can cause skin problems.
6:Never use The
Zhongzhou zinc oxide and sublimed sulfur ointment together with the
Fumanling cream at the same time, alternating use like
Fumanling in the morning and Zhongzhou in the evening is ok.
7:This cream can only be applied externally, oral medication is not permitted.
