Re: [rosacea] zinc oxide

I have used a diaper rash ointment which has both zinc oxide and dimethicone for
irritation and redness with good results. As my face is normal-dry with thin
fair reactive skin not prone to pimples, I have found continued use drying, but
helpful for a week or so in calming things down. I do not recall the brand
used, but it had a simple formulation with the absence of any essential oils.

Subject: [rosacea] zinc oxide


Has anyone ever tried just using plain, ol', zinc oxide lotion on their face?
It's the white stuff - usually in the baby products section of the grocery store
or with the sunscreens. I guess you'd have to put it on at night and then wash
it off in the morning. I was thinking of trying this. Just curious to know
whether anyone else has tried it first. :-) Beth
