<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Zenmed claims to work
According to Zenmed's rosacea products page, its herbal skincare systems help mild to severe types of rosacea, reducing redness and irritation. The company also claims that its products result from years of research and tests on patients with rosacea and other skin conditions.
On the Other: Doctors urge caution
RosaceaNet, a publication of the American Academy of Dermatology, urges caution when considering herbal therapies such as Zenmed for rosacea. Dermatologists' research among their patients indicate that such herbal therapies worsen symptoms and counteract the effects of the carefully prescribed treatments doctors recommend for their patients.
Bottom Line
There is no scientific evidence that Zenmed, or other herbal therapies like it, works for rosacea. A leading dermatology organization suggests that herbal therapies worsen symptoms and if used at all, should only be part of a carefully considered, doctor-prescribed treatment regimen.
