Could the ingredient polyethanol react with something in the oil of olay

foaming cleanser? This may be the answer to the few people who react to

zinco. Please, everyone using zinco post how they like it and what

cleanser, lotion and/or medications you use under it.

Thanks, Patty

I have started using Sy's bar soap, then my metrocream, then either

the vita or face and body lotion for dry skin , green concealer on the

blotches (physicians formula), then zinco, then either a little translucent

powder (Dr. Sy) or liquid make up (Almay) and powder. That is in the morning.

In the evening I wash with bar soap again, metrocream, and either vita or

face and body lotion.

Have only been using the Zinco for a week. I like it, (even though it

is a bit too dark for me)! Skin is smoother

and less red overall. My routine:

am - Cetaphil (bar for dry, sensitive skin), jojoba oil, cea-Ltd.

(brown disk), then wait 15-30 minutes, Zinco,

Dr. Sy's loose powder (golden)

pm - Cetaphil, jojoba, cea-Ltd. (yellow disk)

I've been using zinco for about a month. My skin loves it and is generally

is smoother and less red overall. I am looking forward to the availability

of the non-tinted for night use.

My routine:

am - Cetaphil (bar for dry, sensitive skin), vita oil on cheeks only,

noritate 1%, Zinco, Dr. Sy's loose powder, golden colour (my skin loves this

stuff too)

pm - Cetaphil bar soap, vita oil, noritate 1%, Dr. Sy's moisturizer on my

cheeks. Acne control gel (also Dr. Sy's) when necessary.

Here is my regime:

am - Zia Fresh Cleansing Gel

ZincO Cream

pm - Hemp Oil Soap (to remove makeup), following by Zia Fresh

Cleansing Gel

1 drop Vita Oil

2-3 drops hemp oil

Once weekly - Noritate application. More frequent application of this

causes burning.

Patty,

I have been using Zinco for several weeks now with no problems. I first

apply a very thin coat of emu oil, then I apply a moderate amount of the

ZincO. Finally, I add another thin coat of the Zinco over problem areas. I

like the fact that ZincO is a combination sunscreen, redness concealer, and

skin care product. I have a light complexion, but unlike some, I do not have

a problem with the ZincO tint. I use a moderate amount, and my face looks

only slightly darker, like a light tan.

I hesitated when I first saw the cost, but having used ZincO I can see that

the 3 oz tube will last a very long time. A little ZincO goes a long way.

I am quite pleased with the ZincO and plan to continue using it.

Hi Patty--

Here's what I do:

AM--Cleanse with lukewarm water and Basis for

Sensitive Skin bar (been using it since I was in high

school--only thing that doesn't irritate me, though

I've yet to try the Zia)

Dab a glycerin and water mixture (1:3) to damp face

and blot off excess. I usually do this again right

before I apply the Zinc-O

Apply Zinc-O, usually at least 20 minutes later (my

skin's often a little tender right after my morning

shower)

Sometimes, I'll also dust Dr. Sy's Golden Powder over

top the Zinc-O, but I'm not big on make-up, so often

it feels like too much on my face--it does temper the

shine from the ZO, though, and I like that it's got

some sunblock in it.

PM: Same, minus the powder

I'm still in the midst of photoderm treatments, and am

a little skittish to try the oils yet. I have a

Vita-Oil sample, though, and will probably try it once

I feel I'm completely recovered. I really like the

ZO--my skin's never felt or looked so smooth! The

color is a little off, but as someone else said, it

really just makes me look like I've got a slight

tan--makes me look kinda bright, but not the kind of

bright I used to have (looks like I'm wearing the

shimmery blushers all the Vogue models seem to be

sporting these days). I do have my own question for

all ZO users, though--how do you all feel about the

sun protection in this formulation? It seems to be

perfect for daily use--even driving around or walking

around the city for a few hours, and it's appropriate

(along with my visor) as a sunblock during my morning

walks. But I went to a baseball game yesterday, and

even though it didn't start until 5pm and even though

I used the ZO and wore my visor, I still got some sun

on my face. It doesn't look bad, and it's very slight,

but I can definitely see a little extra pink on my

cheeks. Could just be because I'm 3 weeks

post-photoderm and I'm still a little photosensitive

as a result. Just curious as to whether you all think

the ZO is appropriate for, say, day-long sun exposure.

My boyfriend and I like to go hiking and biking in the

summer and fall, and I'm a little concerned that I

won't have enough sun protection. I have really bad

luck with chemical sunscreens.

Thanks--
