| Pros | Cleared my blackheads on my forehead consistently |
|---|---|
| Cons | Broke me out worse than i was when i started and i am already 3 months in. Contributed to multiple, inflammed pimpled all over my face. Supposed antibiotic in it does NOTHING to quell inflammation Very drying (especially if used in combination with other products) Not consistent at all as one day I'd be clearing up and the next day I'd be broken out again. Never stopped new pimples from popping up. Three months in and i still get 2-3 new pimples EVERYDAY. |
| Bottom line | This was work for some people but in my experience, it didn't work for me. My acne was mild to start with and i ended up getting multiple inflamed pimples that don't have pus, are red and show up on known breakout areas (chin) but also unknown areas (such as cheeks which are normally clear). Very disappointed in the time and effort i was on this product. |

| Pros | Not irritating Easy to use Effective at treating both mild and cystic acne Even skin ton |
|---|---|
| Cons | VERY Drying initially Takes time to work Terrible initial breakout |
| Bottom line | Some background: I have very temperamental skin that is prone to normal, mild acne in some spots and massive cystic acne in others. Topical treatments have never worked for me. After a horrible breakout a few months ago, I was put on Ziana. Initially, I had horrible dry skin, peeling and a terrible phase of constant purging. I have been using this product consistently for about 7 weeks and I can honestly say it has made a huge difference. The areas that had mild acne are completely clear, and the last of my cysts are healing. Give this product time to work and it will. Now I just have to deal with some mild scaring and I will be good to go! |

| Pros | Skin is soft and smooth no break outs! reduced pore size balanced out my combination skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | none so far |
| Bottom line | I've been using this for about a month now. I have combination skin that gets really flaky around my nose/mouth but I haven't had any of that way Zinea! I had a tiny bit of purging in the end but other than that no real side effects. I used this with a Cerave cleanser and moisturizer and I'm having soft, smooth skin! My derm gave me a coupon so that the first tube was free and the next three tubes cost only $20. Such a good deal, especially because the tubes are GIANT. |

| Pros | Reduces sun damage Reduces pore size Helps slough off old dead skin Reduces overall acne Makes skin smooth |
|---|---|
| Cons | Lots of peeling skin and acne purging Dry skin |
| Bottom line | I used this product years ago and had fantastic results. I had to stop using it after four months because I was pregnant. I just went back to the derm and asked for this again. I am only on day 5, but I wanted to review based on my present and past experience. I am currently experiencing extremely dry skin and lots of peeling, but this is a good thing! Layers of old dead skin are coming off and my skin is getting smoother and clearer by the day! Things WILL get worse before they get better with this product. Last time that I used this product I experienced the same peeling and dryness for about a month. I only use a tiny bit all over my face at night. After the peeling ended I used ziana every other night to maintain my clear skin. This time I am seeing results much more quickly as my pores already look much smaller and the purging is less severe :) I wash my face with cetaphil and I use my clairsonic brush or a washcloth. I see much better results using something that helps to remove that peeling skin! I also moisturize constantly. Give this product a chance! It can take more than a month to see results. The dry skin look with makeup is not a good one, but if you suffer through it you will thank yourself in the end!!! |

| Pros | -It makes parts of the skin soft -It's not that expensive if you have insurance |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Skin peels really bad around mouth -Doesn't help if you use it as a spot treatment -Doesn't help for cystic acne -Makes it hard to apply makeup because skin is so dry -Need tons of moisterizer -Doesn't really clear acne at all, makes it look worse in fact |
| Bottom line | I'm 19 years old and I have delt with acne for 8 years. It has been a battle to keep my skin clear. I have awful cystic acne. It takes about three to four weeks for one of my pimples to go down. I have really sensitive skin so they look blue like bruises. It is very hard to cover these spots and it gets harder when they are really dry all around the cyst. My acne makes me really depressed and keeps me locked up in my dorm room. I have been on Ziana gel for about a month and I have not seen any improvement in my cystic acne and the acne around my mouth has gotten so much worse because of how dry the Ziana makes my skin. It hurts to open my mouth and make expressions. If you don't have severe cystic acne, I would give this gel a try. But if you do, I wouldn't waste your time or money on it. I am going back to the drem to try something new this week. Best of luck to all of you that try this product. |

| Pros | Smooth face Better texture/ reduction in pore size Worked quickly for me |
|---|---|
| Cons | Diarrhea Yeast infection Face felt shiny |
| Bottom line | Within 3 days my face felt as smooth as a babies behind. Texture was consistent and glowing. However the diarrhea is a bit concerning- I will probably have to stop. The warnings speak about colitis- something I dont want to risk. I might have to try something else. But my face feels incredible. I'm 28 and it has not felt like this since I was like 7. |

| Pros | OMG it worked on my sun damaged skin so well that I just had to write a review. I am 56, work outside, and have had so much sun exposure in So Cal. This not only got rid of "surfer nose" but it gets rid of wrinkles! Unreal! The derm wanted to "freeze" parts of my nose; I would have looked like Bozo 4 three months! No way! Use this instead! Plus you can get it for $20 because the f-ing insurance (MedCo, lemme badmouth them) won't pay for it.... |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | GET it!!! |

| Pros | decreases pore size and small lines in face almost disappear. Refines skin texture. Firms skin tone. |
|---|---|
| Cons | a bit drying, but ok if moisturerizer is used. |
| Bottom line | I am a 63 year old woman who has always taken great care of my skin. I have never had pimples. I noticed the pores on my nose and chin and forehead got much larger when I went through menopause. My dermatologist recommended Ziana. I use a small amount all over my face daily and have noticed a big change. My skin has a youthful and refined texture again and small lines have all but disappeared. My skin is firmer and has a youthful glow. I look years younger. This is a wonderful anti-aging drug! |

| Pros | Prevents teh acne and sort of brings up the pore to the surface. Spreads very easily on the skin. lightens scars fades winkles |
|---|---|
| Cons | Takes a long time for your scars to fade. leaves skin dry |
| Bottom line | I have very oily skin and my dermatologist gave me free samples of this to test out LOL. Personally I like this product because it brings all of my pores up to the surface and I can easily scrub them away with teh clarisonic. However it does leave the skin dry and this prouct should be used at night only because it contains an antibiotic (which destorys or inhibits bacteria multiplication) and retinol (which is a form of vitamin A). As mentioned before retinol makes our skin highly sensitive to light because it encourgaes teh growth of new skin cells and therefore should only be woren at night. If applied in teh mornign please remember to apply sunscreen as your face. I like this product alot because it prevents acne and it also brings up the pore to the surface PLUS I GOT IT FOR FREE! |
