Pros Tube lasts a long time - I bought mine in April and I still have at least 25% of it left.
Cons Didn't work for me. Dries skin out. Be sure to moisturize religiously and use a very gentle cleanser.
Bottom line I used proactive along with birth control pills for years and my skin was always "ok". It was by no means great but it wasn't the worst. I had to be taken off the birth control pills and within a matter of weeks my skin was atrocious. I dealt with it with over the counter products for a year before I gave up and went to see a derm.

He prescribed Duac and Ziana - alternating between the two each night. My skin definitely got worse before it got better however I see no overall great improvement. Instead of getting big, monster pimples I just have lots of smaller ones.

I placed a lot of hope in this product and it let me down. My dermatologist said it would take about 3 months to see results. it's been 5 and i'm no better off.

Maybe it works miracles for some people but it didn't do anything for me. I'm going to see a new dermatologist this week.

Pros Makes skin smooth and heals some acne
Cons Extremely dry skin during the first week of treatment
Bottom line Like many others in this forum I experienced extremely dry skin after first starting Ziana. I have been using the product for a little over a week now. The first few days my face was peeling so badly that it looked as if someone had pasted dried oatmeal to my face; however my face has started to heal up now from the peeling & things are looking on the bright side. I can't see a huge difference in my acne yet as the peeling caused a good deal of purging, but now that the peeling has minimized considerably my skin feels like it does after a microdermabrasion session.

I use the Ziana in the evening after washing my face with Pevonia Botanica Clarigel Exfoliating Cleanser. In the am I cleanse with the same & then use Pevonia Reactive Skin Care Cream, which is "ideal for post-operative care: laser resurfacing & dermabrasion, as well as for Retin A users." Since Ziana works like Retin A this cream has been a LIFE SAVER. I highly recommend it to anyone having problems with ziana and pe

Pros Wow! This stuff is amazing. It has helped me see resuts in just one week of use.
Cons it gave me a small rash at first, some burning and stinging.
Bottom line It seems to be the best thing i have tried thus far. I am throughly impressed, it causes some redness, burning and stinging but i will take that to get acne free skin.

Make sure to get a manufacturers coupon from your Dermatologist! I paid only 5 dollars with this.

Pros Nothing.
Cons Dries out skin. Made acne worse.
Bottom line My derm said this was the best prescription out there. I got it in the beginning of July and now it's September and it probably has made my acne worse. And we already had picture day.

Pros Clears up skin really fast, and evens out skin tone.
Cons Makes you break out pretty badly the first 1-3 weeks you use it.
Bottom line It works. It makes your break out the first few weeks, but it clears up those breakouts really quickly.

Make sure to get a coupon from your dermatologist...its worth it

Pros Awesome. ACNE cleared up FAST for me. On my 2nd week of using it and I am acne free.
Cons expensive without insurance. I paid $50 even with insurance. But for clear skin, it's priceless.
Bottom line Great product. I've read many complaning about how long it takes for it to actually start working but it worked quite fast for me. This is the best product I've used so far. Works QUICK! My face is acne free (at least for now). Will continue using it

Pros Clears up acne quickly. I saw a significant difference in my face within 2 weeks.
Cons Makes your skin very sensitive to the sun. It's also expensive if you don't have insurance. Many derms have coupons for this stuff because it's so expensive ($332). Be sure to ask for a coupon or a rebate offer from your derm.
Bottom line It works! I still have hyperpigmentation scars but my derm said that with continued use Ziana will lighten those up as well. Be sure to stay out of the sun.
