Pros:

You only use a little but, but it goes a long way. Large tube is worth the money. Made skin worse after 1 week, but after that, skin is glowing and super smooth. Totally worth trying!

Cons:

It did make my skin oily and worse, but the derm. warned me about that and said to stick through it. I did and my skin looks great!

It might not be for everyone, but worth trying. I have never had good skin. During high-school it was really bad. Skin was ok in my 20s, but still broke out. Once I hit 30, my skin became worse, so I tried Ziana out and I was nervous due to all the reviews, but I am so glad I did! They give you a huge tube, so it will last forever and if you have good insurance, it's reasonably priced. I say give it a shot!

Pros:

Treats breakouts significantly faster in combination with my daily Solodyn antibiotic acne pills. Leaves skin's surface feeling smoother when you wake up the next morning. One tube will last a long time.

Cons:

Minimal drying and peeling for the first couple of days. Doesn't seem to fade post acne marks the way my dermatologist said it would.

It is to be applied at night before you go to bed. Let it dry overnight and start seeing results each morning after at least a week of consistent use.

Pros:

worked wonderfully - even vanquished the cystic acne in the hollow of my jaw that had been there for years! With a once a day application, the tube lasted a very long time.

Cons:

the price because Oxford didn't cover it, and the smell (smells like dog food, but it goes away after it dries)

Totally worth it. When combined with BenzaClin and Nicomide tablets, this regimen is the only thing that has cleared my skin completely in years. Cystic acne is totally gone!

Pros:

Lightweight. You only have to use a little bit. I've been using it once a day, every day for almost two weeks. It has dried out my pimples and my white heads. It has also has reduced the amount of my blackheads. It also worked on the acne on my back.

Cons:

It can make your face feel oily. IF IT DOES, YOU'RE USING TOO MUCH. It also makes your skin a little worse before it clears it up. Be patient.

It does work. It is a weter-based acne medication, so you do not need too much. If it makes your face feel oily, use less of it. I like this product, it works for me. I am a 15 year old female and my acne is moderate. It took about 9 days for it to start working.

Pros:

Once a day application makes it easy to use. I have had no noticeable drying and any redness is temporary. After one and a half months, I've had no major breakouts.

Cons:

I've experienced some slight burning sensation a few times when cleansing my skin (using Cetaphyl normal/oily) but quickly goes away.

I used to get big, under the surface cystic acne on my chin area and some smaller whitehead acne around the nose area. Since using Ziana, I have not had one cystic breakout and maybe one small whitehead near my nose. I am very happy with the results and my skin looks great every day!

Pros:

none

Cons:

I used the product for less than a week. I used it exactly as directed -- a tiny pea sized amount once a day. Instead of improvement, I broke out in the worst rash. My entire face broke out!! Every inch of my face is in painful sores.

Of course I immediately using the product, but this happened on the weekend so I have to wait until morning to call the doc. Luckily, I hadn't purchased the product. She gave me a tiny sample tube, which I didn't get half way through. I wish I read this site before using the product.

November 18, 2009

Pros:

Seems to clear my skin up for the most part. Not as harsh as other products

Cons:

Tends to dry my skin out and give me flakes here and there. Cost is more without coupons

Im a male 21 who lives in New York. I typically hav clear skin in the summer and spring but in the fall and winter i tend to break out. I used proactiv my whole life until 18 when i broke out VERY bad. I then went to my derm and he gave me Benza cyclin cream for the morning and tretinoin cream at night. I would only wash my face in the mornings with neut. oil free acne wash(orange gel). i would just apply the tret before bed. This cleared up my skin completely with the occasional break out, but made my face RED with morning flakes. It was too harsh. I used this combo till 21 and used proactive again that summer only for the fall to come now and start to break out again. I have been using Ziana for about 2 weeks now every night and have really not had any bad break outs, but all the discolorations on my chin will not go away. and i feel like im starting to get things there. Its easier on the skin then what i was doing and all-in-all not a bad product. I think i must give it more time
