I've been on most of them; RETINOLS! Retin-A Micro, Renova, Differin .1% AND Differin .3%. None of them seem to work on my moderate postule nodule acne. So, today, I saw my dermatologist for the ump-teenth time and she prescribed Ziana which is tretinoin (a retinoid) & clindamycin in one...so it's got the retinoid and antibiotic in one cream! Hmmm...hope this one works!

I have had acne for 15 years...WTF? I asked my doctor today to put me on accutane, and she said I wasn't a candidate...whatever...please. Just so happened that my face cleared up a little and that's all she's seeing. She should have seen me 4 weeks ago when I had bumps galore!!!

Anybody on Ziana?
