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

I'm 27 and ever since my hysterectomy 9 months ago my skin started breaking out like crazy. I've been using this gel for about a month. At first it seemed as if my skin got worse but this past week it just completely cleared up. The only downside to the product in my opinion is that it made my face sensitive to everything. Any type of moisturizer I use burns like crazy. The peeling is slightly annoying but tolerable. I would definitely recommend this product :)

This was work for some people but in my experience, it didn't work for me. My acne was mild to start with and i ended up getting multiple inflamed pimples that don't have pus, are red and show up on known breakout areas (chin) but also unknown areas (such as cheeks which are normally clear). Very disappointed in the time and effort i was on this product.

Some background: I have very temperamental skin that is prone to normal, mild acne in some spots and massive cystic acne in others. Topical treatments have never worked for me. After a horrible breakout a few months ago, I was put on Ziana. Initially, I had horrible dry skin, peeling and a terrible phase of constant purging. I have been using this product consistently for about 7 weeks and I can honestly say it has made a huge difference. The areas that had mild acne are completely clear, and the last of my cysts are healing. Give this product time to work and it will. Now I just have to deal with some mild scaring and I will be good to go!

I've been using this for about a month now. I have combination skin that gets really flaky around my nose/mouth but I haven't had any of that way Zinea! I had a tiny bit of purging in the end but other than that no real side effects. I used this with a Cerave cleanser and moisturizer and I'm having soft, smooth skin! My derm gave me a coupon so that the first tube was free and the next three tubes cost only $20. Such a good deal, especially because the tubes are GIANT.

I used this product years ago and had fantastic results. I had to stop using it after four months because I was pregnant. I just went back to the derm and asked for this again. I am only on day 5, but I wanted to review based on my present and past experience. I am currently experiencing extremely dry skin and lots of peeling, but this is a good thing! Layers of old dead skin are coming off and my skin is getting smoother and clearer by the day! Things WILL get worse before they get better with this product. Last time that I used this product I experienced the same peeling and dryness for about a month. I only use a tiny bit all over my face at night. After the peeling ended I used ziana every other night to maintain my clear skin. This time I am seeing results much more quickly as my pores already look much smaller and the purging is less severe :) I wash my face with cetaphil and I use my clairsonic brush or a washcloth. I see much better results using something that helps to remove that peeling skin! I also moisturize constantly. Give this product a chance! It can take more than a month to see results. The dry skin look with makeup is not a good one, but if you suffer through it you will thank yourself in the end!!!

I'm 19 years old and I have delt with acne for 8 years. It has been a battle to keep my skin clear. I have awful cystic acne. It takes about three to four weeks for one of my pimples to go down. I have really sensitive skin so they look blue like bruises. It is very hard to cover these spots and it gets harder when they are really dry all around the cyst. My acne makes me really depressed and keeps me locked up in my dorm room. I have been on Ziana gel for about a month and I have not seen any improvement in my cystic acne and the acne around my mouth has gotten so much worse because of how dry the Ziana makes my skin. It hurts to open my mouth and make expressions. If you don't have severe cystic acne, I would give this gel a try. But if you do, I wouldn't waste your time or money on it. I am going back to the drem to try something new this week. Best of luck to all of you that try this product.

Within 3 days my face felt as smooth as a babies behind. Texture was consistent and glowing. However the diarrhea is a bit concerning- I will probably have to stop. The warnings speak about colitis- something I dont want to risk. I might have to try something else. But my face feels incredible. I'm 28 and it has not felt like this since I was like 7.

GET it!!!

I am a 63 year old woman who has always taken great care of my skin. I have never had pimples. I noticed the pores on my nose and chin and forehead got much larger when I went through menopause. My dermatologist recommended Ziana. I use a small amount all over my face daily and have noticed a big change. My skin has a youthful and refined texture again and small lines have all but disappeared. My skin is firmer and has a youthful glow. I look years younger. This is a wonderful anti-aging drug!

I have very oily skin and my dermatologist gave me free samples of this to test out LOL. Personally I like this product because it brings all of my pores up to the surface and I can easily scrub them away with teh clarisonic. However it does leave the skin dry and this prouct should be used at night only because it contains an antibiotic (which destorys or inhibits bacteria multiplication) and retinol (which is a form of vitamin A). As mentioned before retinol makes our skin highly sensitive to light because it encourgaes teh growth of new skin cells and therefore should only be woren at night. If applied in teh mornign please remember to apply sunscreen as your face. I like this product alot because it prevents acne and it also brings up the pore to the surface PLUS I GOT IT FOR FREE!
