| Pros | Worked instantly(4 days) Acne clearing up, No new acne Scars clearing up Enough in tube to last a very long time |
|---|---|
| Cons | Very very sensitive skin Burning, irritation Peeling at first |
| Bottom line | Ziana is almost a miracle worker for me! I am very very satisfied with my results. Tried many things for years and this is the one im sticking with (so far) Cant wait to see the long lasting effects. |

| Pros | -worked lightly. -Despite being a gel, was not fast absorbing. -A LOT was in the tube!! -was non-drying. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Did very little about my acne. |
| Bottom line | I have been using the Ziana gel for 5 months, mostly just to finish up the tube, it has SO MUCH in it!! But it did nothing, honestly. It's gentle and non-drying, but I'd rather have something abrasive that gets the job done that I might have to pack on the lotion for. Overall, did nothing for my acne even after long-term usage. |

| Pros | It was a free sample. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Made my light acne worse. Have pink under the skin bumps all over jawline now I have MORE acne. |
| Bottom line | I've only been using for week, but my derm never warned me that it would make my light acne moderate/severe. I know I should be patient, but its heartbreaking to watch your self esteem fly out the window in a matter of days. Also leaves a pink/brown mark on old spots. Will probably fade, but I'm more concerned about the new bumps!!! The "it gets worse before it gets better" is not comforting at all. |

| Pros | Works |
|---|---|
| Cons | Purging Takes months for it work Dries your face for the first few weeks |
| Bottom line | I had deep cystic acne on my cheeks that hurt alot. I've tried proactiv, doxycycline, sodium sulfacetamide, minocycline and none of them worked. I first started using it Dec. 2009. Brokeout HORRIBLY. It was bad. So I stopped for about 1 month. After a month I decided to give it another shot, with the idea that "it can't get any worse than it already is". So i got back on it in Feb. 2010. Started using it consistently every night. By the end of March things were looking better, about 3-4 pimples on each cheek, with the occasional 2 or 3 on my forehead and chin. It's now May and my cheeks, chin and forehead are clear. All that remains are red marks and a few pimples on my jaw line. I am currently using baby soap as a face wash, ziana at night, and acanya in the morning. I took bactrim ds for about 2 weeks in Feb. but stopped because of the side-effects. Ziana works, just stick to it. |

| Pros | 1. Doesn't sting 2. Doesn't smell 3. Doesn't irritate skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | 1. EXPENSIVE after the first 3 discounted tubes |
| Bottom line | I have been using Ziana gel for about 3 months now. Its hard to tell how much this product has improved my acne. This year has been the first year that I have had BAD acne, everywhere! I started to breakout on my chest, arms, and lower back. I had never had a problem with my skin before. I learned that I was under too much stress, I wasn't getting enough vitamins and I was often dehydrated, all causes of acne. I can tell that the improvements that I have made have significantly helped, now I'm just waiting for the marks on my skin to go away. I'm not sure if I can continue to use Ziana gel as money is tight right now, I don't have insurance, and I've already gotten 3 discounted tubes of Ziana gel :( |

| Pros | apply small amount once a day gradual results |
|---|---|
| Cons | irritating until your skin adjusts to it must remain pale |
| Bottom line | my derm prescribed me ziana gel, solodyn antibiotic, and triaz foaming cloths. in the morning i wash my face with the triaz cloth and then take the solodyn pill. at night i wash my face with cetaphil and then apply this gel. my skin was so irritated the first couple of weeks. i watched the movie 'brothers' and i was allergic to my own tears. had that 'just cried' look throughout the entire next day : ( skin really dries out at first.. make sure you have a good moisturizer.. and more importantly.. wait at least an hour before applying moisturizer on your face after applying this gel. its been almost a month now and my skin is adjusting.. it's not at all irritated just a little dry. i can see my skin starting to clear. |

| Pros | easy to use doesnt break out skin works well in the long run |
|---|---|
| Cons | needs assistance from other acne fighting treatments not strong enouph to hold all acne off |
| Bottom line | ive been using this for about 3 months now i recomend using it with cetaphil gentle cleanser and putting ziana on right after and then go to bed but in the morning use some sort of bp medication. i also take vitamins e, zink and mens one a day i can honestly say my skins never been so smooth but i also use mama lotion or m2 skin refinish every other not it removes skars completely |

| Pros | Very easy to use, quick, effective. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None that I can think of. |
| Bottom line | This is not a miracle drug! Don't expect anything to be. But of all the things I've tried (and really, I've tried it all), it's the most low maintenance product with the best results. I just put a bunch of it on my face (more than a pea size) at night and my skin is noticeably better. Yes, I still get acne and break outs, but they seem less severe. Most of my whiteheads are gone and my skin is much smoother. The one $25 bottle I bought isn't even half way empty and I got it 4 months ago. I use cetaphil face wash first, then ziana, then a moisturizer. Maybe for those who have had a bad experience they have a different kind of acne than me. I had a lot of white heads that would eventually turn into pus filled pimples (gross, I know) that I could always pop. Maybe it doesn't work for those with cystic acne or little tiny pimples. Good luck! |
