My derm prescribed me Ziana about 2 years ago. I never experienced any change in my acne so stopped after about 3 months . I tried it again about a year ago and whatever you do make sure your skin has been off the ziana for awhile before you apply bp to your skin. I made the mistake of mixing the two and my face did not react kindly. I have pretty sensitive skin but it made my face extremely red and raw. I was using the BP before I tried to add in the ziana and my skin was fine with it and then tried to add Ziana as a spot treatment. About 1 week later I could hardly wash my face it was so painful.
*DESPERATE FOR CLEAR SKIN BY APRIL 1 2015 - GOING ON VACATION*
Hi there. I am a 16 year old female on ziana and 100mg minocyline every night. Last year i achieved beautiful skin after 3 months on epiduo and doxycyxline but I became resistant so the derm switched it up. However I am 2.5 months into the ziana regimen and am not pleased. I haven't seen any improvement honestly and have just recently gotten huge cysts on my naturally clear forehead.... I get so hopefull from peoples stories that say after 3 months there skin improves greatly.., but then get very discouraged when I see those posts saying the product didn't work at all. Is it normal to still be on the initial breakout 10 weeks into ziana?
Also: the last month I have been using tea tree oil basically all over my face because I was so desperate to get clear and then applying ziana directly on top.... Just yesterday I read that tea tree oil shouldn't be mixed with a tretinoin (ziana) so I stopped today and will never use it again. Also I have always applied ziana in the morning and night but am now just doing night because I thought the overuse might be contributing to my breakouts. Thoughts?
Regimen: morning: wash with cetaphil oil control foam wash
Apply cetaphil oil control moisturizer
Night: same thing but apply ziana before moisturizer and take 100mg minocycline pill
