Pros:

Clears skin quickly

Cons:

Leaves skin flakey and dry

Only use twice a week and I have clear skin. Althought the day after I use it my skin is dried out. Moisturizer is a must!

Pros:

inexpensive
corrects more issues than acne (fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, sun spots, etc)

Cons:

causes diarrhea
can make skin a little dry but just use moisturizer

AWESOME i am a staff carrier and i suffer from hidrenatitis (sp?) supportiva... tried solydne and ziana as combination... worked but minocylcine is hard on the body and gave memario chronic yeast infections. finally cultures showed the acne was laced with staph... i quit the solydne and started bactrim, twice a day... that cleared EVERYTHING up so i also quit the ziana... doc told me that ziana helps with other issues... sure enough my age spot and sun spot has faded...

Pros:

Affordable with my insurance. Easy to apply. Cleared some of my pimples overnight.

Cons:

A slight weird smell.

I cannot believe the difference in just one week. This product was prescribed to me with Solodyn also. I use a small amount at night. I did apply a spot treatment on a particularly bad cystic acne spot one morning & felt it really helped...what would take weeks to clear, cleared up in 4 days. I have hormonal acne at age 48. I had tried OTC remedies for the last 3 months with no success. I wish I had gone to the dermatologist right away. This product is wonderful.

Pros:

Clears all those annoying bumps under the skin.
Makes overall skin texture much better.

Cons:

Takes at least 10 weeks to work
I feel that I it makes pimples and red marks take a little longer to heal.

You have to give it time to work! Don't write a review until you've been using it for 10 weeks, my face was a mess up until then. Although the bactrim may have contributed to my clearing, the ziana definitely made my skin purge and now I have no little bumps.

Pros:

Does not dry skin.
Reduces acne.

Cons:

Makes skin slightly red.
Makes skin sensitive to sun.

This medication takes the top layer (like Tazorac), but also delivers an antibaterial dose, so it's not as irritating. This is my favorite topical medication. I only use it at night.

Pros:

Brings everything out to surface.

Cons:

Brings everything out to surface.
Extreme purging.
Dries out skin
Makes skin itchy

My daughter has been using this product for over a month now. At first her skin went through extreme purging! Everything was brought up to surface. It seems as though her skin is no longer purging, like it was but it is not cleared up. We are going to give it one more month and then try something else.

Cons:

Ithy!!!

I am currently using predisone,.a few weeks ago I got upset because it started giving small little pimples all over my face they werent that bad but I had nevet suffered from acne so I took myself of predisone. Guess what bad bad idea my acne only got worse, I regret it . Couldnt take so I started using proactive for about two weeks I saw improvement but my skin didnt respond to well with the rifining mask made my skin way too itchy and uncomfortable. Then I went to see.a derm and prescribed me ziana,.honestly its been days.but I couldnt feel any better.about my skin. I had beautiful skin before so this product looks promising! !:-) I will.update on results!

Pros:

Made my skin quite smooth.

Cons:

Dries out the skin.
If I do not moisturize, skin becomes flaky and red.
I have been using ziana gel since 1 month but dont have any noticeable improvement in my acne.

Its okay but not great.

Pros:

Reduced blemish size
Reduced redness
Worked fast

Cons:

Made skin extremely dry
Smells bad
Gave me a chemical burn( my fault)
Not gentile at all

For a prescription acne medication I feel it falls under par due to it's side effects. It makes the skin flaky and doesn't look good at all. Being a guy I don't wear coverup or anything so it looks just as bad as the zits. Made my face really red too for some reason. Try something else before using this, something gentler.
