Ziana : Clindamycin (1.2%) and Tretinoin (.025%) Gel

One large tube is the cost of two previous meds & four times the use. Finally, 5 months...my skin is smoother, tighter and if I do have that occassional breakout, it clears within a few days. Pitfall ~ I tend to have a dry throat/cough since started use; keep hydrated. I had noticable reddening & pithy look with previous meds ~ Now I get compliments!

I am on a great combination of stuff. I am taking ortho tri-cyclin ( which treats hormonal acne problems), Aczone in the AM, and Ziana in the evenings. I feel like the Ziana is having the greatest affect because there is visible difference in my acne from the time I go to sleep at night to when I wake up for work in the morning. My doc would also like me to take Solodyn, but I had an issue getting the prescription..they want to charge $400. My one problem is with the company Medicis in itself. They give out this three month discount card, which makes both prescriptions a combined $30 a month but once that runs out, these two drugs (Ziana and Solodyn) retail for about $500 each per month and my blue cross isn't wanting to accept it. Basically, if you can get the medications inexpensively, DO IT. Good stuff. I am seeing results after a week, even though in their trials there was only a 21% success rate (meaning 21% of the patients were TOTALLY cleared). I guess I would go into that group.

I really like Ziana gel. I get acne all over my body, not just on my face, so I can use this product without worrying about my clothes becoming discolored. I use it with Zaclir body wash, so my skin is always a little dry, but over all, I'm very pleased with this. It takes a while to work, but the results are worth it.

it really depends on your skin on how soon it will clear your acne. for me it was fast after my dermatologist injected this medicine into the really big ones and ziana helped with the small ones by the next day. my derm recommended i apply ziana once a day, my skin seems to be responding very well

I've only used this for about 3 weeks, but it seems I see improvement. I feel the price of the medicine is very well worth the $. I heartily recomend this gel.

i have been using ziana for exactly 2 months today and my face has really cleared up. My main problem spots was my forehead, cheeks, and the sides of my mouth. You have to be VERY patient because this stuff purges your skin, or at least it did mine, so i broke out SO BAD the first month but now my skin has calmed down and i really only have 2, small active pimples. My forehead is completely clear, my cheeks are slowly but surely getting there. Stick with it, it gets worse before better but before you think about quitting make sure you at least give it a chance to work. I'm also on Solodyn and using Triaz 6% foaming clothes but i think the ziana is what's making the difference.

only need a pea drop size which makes the inicial purchase worth the money

works so far. I use Triaz in the am to wash face then at night ziana gel and seems good. just give it time dont think your going to wake up the next day and be acne free. 1st week sucked i broke out bad but whats one more week of acen its going to clear up fast.

Did nothing for my rather mild acne... but worsened it overall.

During my high school years I had a minimal amount of back acne but remedied it with Neutrogena Body Clear scrub & loofah. Anyway, it went away til now. I'm a picker (not a good thing to admit on a acne website) lol but the sun and my picking made the bumps worse and left white spots.ugh It made me self conscious to wear tanks so I went to the derm for 1st time and she recommended Ziana. I have been religliously using the stuff for 8 days now but have not noticed any difference yet. No side effects and it hasn't gotten any worse so I'll keep at it!
