Zinc penetrates skin in rosacea
Zinc penetration through the skin barrier in atopic dermatitis and rosacea using reflectance confocal microscopy.
Highlights zinc's skin benefits
We investigated how well zinc penetrates the skin in individuals with rosacea, a common condition that affects skin barrier function. Using a non-invasive technique called reflectance confocal microscopy, we compared the skin barrier permeability between those with rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and healthy individuals.
Our results revealed that zinc penetration was greater in patients with rosacea compared to those with healthy skin. Specifically, we observed higher intensity readings of zinc at a depth of 8 micrometers in the skin of rosacea patients. This indicates that their skin barrier might be more compromised in the upper layers.
Interestingly, when comparing both conditions, we found that patients with atopic dermatitis showed greater zinc penetration at deeper layers of the skin. This suggests subtle differences in how these two conditions affect skin barriers. Overall, the findings suggest that patients with rosacea experience increased permeability in the upper layers of the skin due to weakened barrier function.

Zinc shows potential for rosacea relief
The role of vitamins and nutrients in rosacea.
Zinc is part of combined strategies
Zinc has become a noteworthy player in helping manage rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness and bumps that can be quite distressing. We examined various studies that assessed zinc’s effectiveness, particularly focusing on a 5% zinc sulfate solution.
The results were promising, showing that this zinc treatment significantly reduced the severity of acne rosacea. Specifically, nearly 40% to 60% of patients reported a moderate to good response after using the zinc solution. This suggests that zinc could be an effective option for those struggling with rosacea symptoms.
While the evidence surrounding zinc as a standalone treatment is encouraging, it’s important to remember that its effects are often part of broader treatment strategies. Thus, while zinc might offer benefits, it’s most effective when considered alongside other treatments.

Significant improvement
Helped my rosacea. After researching online, I found that many struggle with this condition for years. This was my experience too. I discovered a potential link between rosacea and deficiencies in zinc and lysine. Following recommendations, I ordered Solgar zinc picolinate and NOW Foods L-lysine. I began taking one of each daily with food. Since starting on 5 June 2015, my rosacea has nearly cleared up by 20 July 2015. If I was a 10/10 on the rosacea scale before, I would now rate myself at about 1 or 1.5/10. I'm also sharing this recommendation on the NOW Foods site.

Rosacea significantly reduced
After researching rosacea, I learnt about its link to zinc deficiencies. I began taking 22mg Solgar zinc picolinate daily and, within six weeks, my rosacea has almost cleared up completely. I’d rate my condition as a mere 1.5/10 now, a remarkable transformation from a prior 10/10.

Improved skin condition
I correctly accepted the treatment and noticed a positive effect! My immunity feels stronger as I passed winter without ARVI or influenza. My hair stopped falling out and began to grow again; the quality has improved by 30%. Most importantly, my skin has benefited – it no longer flakes or reddens, even in winter. After taking Zinc for two weeks, I don’t need creams. My overall skin condition has improved without the use of moisturisers, which is incredibly pleasing!
