I used Zineryt may years ago and, for me, it was a disaster.

I hated the smell of it and you have to be really careful applying it otherwise it has a habit of running into your mouth. And, believe me, it tastes disgusting!

Also, I had really bad breakouts, but that's just my skin. It is, after all, a topical antibiotic and they've done me a lot of good in various forms over the years.

Hi,

I'm a 25 year old femaleand have had acne since I was 11. My acne cleared up for around 12 months and has suddenly appeared again with a vegance! I have bad scarringbut I can deal with that, it's the constant, painful cyst like spots I can't cope with. My face hurts and I'm so so sick of having to cover my face in thick make up which of course, creates a vicious circle...I am now back to having days where I don't leave the house unless I have to and feel like I'm 14 again (the age that my acne was worst).

 

im currently awaiting results on whether I have PCOS but in the meantime my doctor has prescribed my zinyerit, which I haven't used for years.

 

-does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom on this treatment?

 

Thanks

Hi, Best wishes with your treatment.......Zineryt?....for short term fix, treatments like Zineryt are great and can really help but from past experience (havent used topical antibiotic for many years) as with all antibiotics, your skin can build up a resistance and stop working, so wouldnt recommend for longterm use...In my case I think the antibiotics like Zineryt started to makemy skin worse, which is why I stopped using topical antibiotic creams/gels more than 7 years ago.

I'm a male, in my early 40s and after 20+ years of antibiotics, BP creams, gelsetc, etc....I wanted to give my skin a rest and was tired of having to put so many chemicals on my skin....I nowjust needed a treatment to control over active glands (very oily skin) so10 weeks ago I started a lowdose of accutane to treat/control the VERYoily skinand after 3-4 weeks I started to notice my pores getting smallerandmy skin was producing less oil and now just washing with Dove soap and water and using very littleofanything else.......Difficult to know all the answers as everyoneis different and using different treatments but hope everything goes well for you. Kind regards
