    Default a new ointment!

    Hi all, I recently came about a research on a new ointment for rosacea affected skin.
    Unluckily, I've lost the link for more details. The basic ingredients of the ointment are
    menthol and sulphur. I'm just curious to know that if anyone know more about it!
    regards

    Sounds interesting, but the details are a little lacking!

    Do you know, would this be a prescription or OTC product? I don't think there's much available to dr's at the moment in terms of sulphur. Mine had to have a cream specially made up for me, as there was no product to prescribe!

    Also, the sulphur concentration would be very interesting......

    ZZ cream contains sulphur and menthol. Very potent and irritating to many, although those with type two rosacea (P&P's) often benefit from it.
    Menthol has vasodilating properties, so I wouldn't get too excited about any product which contains it. Especially if you have type one rosacea.
