Hi Noreen and Everyone,

Noreen I am so happy it's working for you too.


I started using the Z cream a bit over 2 weeks ago and I have been
really happy with the results. I followed the regiment that Brady has
posted on his site.

My history - diagnosed with perioral dermitis 15 years ago, used
cortisone and antibiotics to try and reduce it, the derm blamed it on
the stress of school (which had just finished). (I had moved in with
my parents after college to a house of 5 dogs and 3 cats, moved out 2
months later but I think this is where I picked up the mites.)
Went to new derm a few years later who diagnosed rosacea and put me on
antibiotics - emycin low dose (eventually I had to take a higher dose
because they stopped making the lower dose) daily, he eventually added
metrolotion to my regiment.
Slowly I watched my face become worse and worse, postules and cysts
all around and on my nose and chin.
About a year ago I read about Photo Facials and went through a series
of treatments and got off the antibiotics and the Metrolotion. The
nurse put me on a regiment of skin care lotions which did wonderful
things for my skin tone but not much for the cysts, which kept coming
back.
So my cysts came back and I went in for another IPL treatment (she
switched to the Starlux machine about midway through the first set of
txs), hurt unbelievably as she zapped the areas around my cysts.
My face didn't clear up as well as the first set of treatments so I
decided to take the plunge and try the Demodex products.
First week I was very flakey and the cysts went away!!!
During the second week the flakiness dissappeared and now all I have
is some redness where they once were. I've had only one minor area
around the base of my nose that still feels like a cyst might be
lurking but the rest of my face feels normal.
I haven't had to use much of the product on my skin to get these
results, I have been very surprised how well they work. My nose was
also pink and I had a pink area between my brows that even the IPL txs
didn't reduce and my nose is now a normal skin color and the area
between my brows has gotten much lighter.
My husband said the Z cream smells kind of like a tobacco plant.

I was wondering what results people have had using IPL with the Z
cream.

Thanks to all of you who kept posting about the Z cream. If you
hadn't I never would have tried it.
