I used a cream called zz cream for awhile, I broke out in lots of the bumps for the first 3 weeks. YIKES!!!! Cream made my face feel good while on, its zinc based, but very very dry. Used as directed for 90 days. Don't get the itchy bumps as bad now but they still come once in awhile, always at nite. I know Dr Nase doesn't believe they cause rosacea and I do not either, but it did cut down a lot on the itchy bumps using the cream. So I probably killed off a bunch ,BUT the underlying disorder of the rosacea,redness, burning, stinging, basically a sore face when triggered are still there and worsening, hence the IPL treatments. I've had one and will keep people informed of how they go if anyone cares. I have also started taking rosadyn,I think I said that in another post.
