Brady et al,



You mentioned others who had tried both IPL and z cream. I tried

several IPL sessions that were expensive and a 3-hour drive each

way for me. But, because I saw improvement, I went back.

HOWEVER, although hope springs eternal..., the improvements

were temporary, even though I was also controlling my diet, and

avoiding as many triggers as possible, fragrance, etc. and taking

the supplements Dr. Nase discussed in his book. So I would get

excited for a month or two and then the postules and other

symptoms would return. Tried many other topicals, prescription

and otherwise, and finally the z cream. Now that is what has made

the difference. I can honestly say that I now appear to have normal

non-rosacean skin, after 11 years of severe rosacea. Right now

with a little tan, I wear zero makeup and I'm 48. I still watch my diet

and take some of the supplements and avoid fragrance and

irritants however I can. I only need to use the z cream once every

two-weeks now if I get an occasional postule or itch or redness. I

did use it every night for 3 months to really rid myself of the

symptoms. I also did use the z cream soon after my last IPL, but

don't think there is any connection of the two together at all.



Hope this helps some make decisions about what to try. The z

cream is very affordable. Wish I had tried it before all those IPL

treatments. I could have saved myself a lot of money and time. But

that's the cost of experimentation, I guess. We are our own guinea

pigs.



Good luck to all,

Anne

Wanted to comment on this, as I have been using the z cream for months, and have

experienced a good improvement though it causes many blackheads on my otherwise

blackheadless nose.  I had my first IPL and will do a series of 5 with the next

including ALA for the acne like pustules.  I am very hopeful.  I will report to

the group.  Thanks, Courtney
