I have used creams and drugs from the derm, tried supplements-which
sooner or later, don't agree with me, and sent away for treatments
such as LTD and rosacea care. Have tried all the "right" cleansers,
etc. Nothing helped at all until the Clinique sunscreen. Maybe it's
too early to tell but I believe this is the first notable difference.
Feels differenct also. I was starting to get periodic itching and
stinging and that is rare now. The skin on my face feels stronger.
It was feeling weak and sick.
Sure would have never thought to try it if I hadn't read the Nase
book. And it's a great moisturizer under the makeup. I think I've
been using it about a month or so.
Where can I get zinc oxide? Do I need a prescription or can i buy it at a drug store? Thanks...

Annie: That's a tough one because if what you are doing is working, you may want to just keep doing that. If you decide to try ZincO you would put it on after...
