The information provided in the summary table is for reference only. It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any acne treatment, including Zineryt lotion.
Why choose Zineryt?
This product can be used by a wide majority of people suffering from acne vulgaris, which manifests in the form of oily skin and spots. Both pregnant and breastfeeding women can use this product, as well as younger children suffering from acne, which is a real benefit to this particular type of medication as there are many forms of treatment on the market which are not to be used by these patient categories.
Another reason patients choose Zineryt is that less than 1% of those using it experience side effects. It can also be used alongside makeup which may be beneficial to some women suffering from acne.
How effective is Zineryt?
The effectiveness of any medication can vary from patient to patient, but results can usually be seen from around four weeks onwards and, in some cases, 6. If you feel there has been no change to your acne after this time, then you can book a free and confidential appointment with a doctor at Click Pharmacy to discuss other treatments.
Its mixture of ingredients, erythromycin and zinc, work well together and complement one another to not only destroy the bacteria causing the acne but to help with healing the skin where it has been damaged by the spots. In fact, by the end of a 12-week study, two-thirds of patients had found that their acne legions had decreased.
What is contained in Zineryt?
The active ingredients in Zineryt are erythromycin and zinc acetate.
It also contains ethanol and diisopropyl sebacate.
How does Zineryt work?
Excessive oil on the skin can plug your hair follicles. This causes them to swell, and the bacteria, which is usually living harmlessly on your skin, use the sebum within these follicles to reproduce quickly. This, in turn, contributes to infection, inflammation and the resultant acne.
Zineryt contains two active ingredients to help fight this. The antibiotic known as erythromycin helps to fight the bacteria which is causing the acne by preventing it from producing a protein required for it to grow and reproduce. Without this, the bacteria die off, and the body’s own immunity can then begin to take over and kill off the remains of the bacteria.
The second ingredient, zinc acetate, helps the skin to absorb as much of the erythromycin as possible whilst enabling the healing of the skin itself.
Alternatives to Zineryt
If Zineryt does not work for you, there are several alternatives.
- Epiduo gel (contains a mixture of benzyl peroxide and retinoid)
- Differin gel (retinoid)
- Duac gel (contains clindamycin along with benzyl peroxide)
- Lymecycline (a tetracycline antibiotic)
- Acnecide (benzyl peroxide)
- Clarithromycin (oral)
- Oral contraceptive pills
If topical treatments and oral antibiotics are not working for you, you may schedule a consultation with a dermatologist to consider oral isotretinoin.
Directions
How should I take Zineryt
Generally, the product is used either once or twice a day as directed by your doctor and after using a mild cleanser to prep the skin, ensuring you pat it dry prior to application.
Zineryt’s bottle comes with an applicator pad which is covered by a cap for protection which should be removed before use. Hold the bottle upside down and place the pad onto the affected area and spread the solution over it and around the edges of it too. The solution can be removed with a tissue if too much is applied.
A missed application of Zineryt can slow down the healing process, so if you forget to use it, apply it as soon as you can, leaving a minimum of three hours before using it again.
How long can I take Zineryt for?
Many people see results in as little as 4 weeks though it is recommended you use Zineryt for up to 12 weeks. The initial effectiveness of the medication can be altered by what point you are at in your skin’s shedding cycle, but it should all balance out over the course of the treatment.
You will be advised by your GP or Click Pharmacy doctor as to how long your prescription will be necessary, so ensure you follow this guide to get the best out of your medication.
If you feel you are not seeing any benefit from the treatment after 4 to 6 weeks, then book a free and confidential online appointment with Click Pharmacy to discuss other possible options.
