Re: [rosacea] cold ponds cream.

Okay Tamara, these are interesting statements. First, what is the cholesterol med your mom is taking so we can look into it. And did you or your sister (sounds like your sister suffers from this too?) give it a try too and what happened? Second, it's so funny about the Ponds. If it is Ponds cold cream then that's what my mom uses too LOL...........it's been around forever and is the "old-fashioned" stuff I think many of our moms used/use. Can your skin tolerate it? And third, you have really stuck it out with the z-cream.......I am so impressed! When you say you are 50% better, is that in all aspects of the Rosacea? Like p&p's, redness, dryness, hot burny skin and flushes? Also, if you had any eye problems, do you find that that is better too? Some people have said that even their eye symptoms got better using z-cream (not even the one they put out specifically for the eyes). Okay, those are my questions. Sorry to overload yo u but wouldn't it be marvelous if a
great many of us could just start using Ponds cold cream and convince our doctors to give us whatever cholesterol med your mom is on..........ah, a girl can dream can't she?

Take care,
Elena

Hey guys, anyone use this? it has mineral oil in it though, is that a
nono for rosaceans? Just wondered about it. My mom uses it every
night, she had rosacea many years, and gone now after taking
cholesterol medication. My mom to this day looks fab. I asked her also
what moisteriser she uses, and she said cold ponds and loves it, will
never change. My mom is lucky, I dont want to use the word cure, but
she has been in remission since the chol. pills...she is very lucky.
My mom use to have it bad, and she also mentioned to me that since her
cat passed away, her skin is even better. WHAT! I have a cat and he is
my baby lol, my dad use to break out in hives and itch and loved the
cat too much so he suffered alot, yaaa i know crazy, he hated going to
the doctors too, it always cracked me up alot, because as soon as we
said "doctors" he would tell us to bugger off.
Anyway, it just makes me think when I think about my mom and when I
visited my sisters...she can now drink wine without flushing, I stay
the heck away until the z cream eliminates this rosacea completely. I
just wanted to mention this, i did mention this before, this is why
every rosacean is so different and there are so many factors involved.
I no longer believe that because my mom has (had) it that because i
developed it, its the irish thing and thats it. For me since being on
the z cream, I am 50% better now and its been almost 3 months on it. I
want you all to know that there is hope, and when I see my mom, she
has never looked better, and her skin cleared by accident as she tells
me...she thinks it is the chol.meds that really made her feel better
inside out, and I am pleased to see my mom in remission, as she had
rosacea for many years. tamara
