Hey! My first post, yey :D!

 

Basically I was wondering if it's okay to first shower (wash face at the same), apply moisturizer after shower, wait 1-2 hours, wash face with just water, dry and apply Ziana? I feel like my skin is less irritated and dry this way.

 

Another (off topic, sorry :D) question. I've been on Ziana for 5 weeks, there's definitely some progress, my skin is even and i barely have any zits, but.. I seem to get 2-3 whiteheads (pretty small ones though) everyday, is this normal?

 

This is my second time on Ziana. First time using it, i had fairly mild acne, and it worked wonders. In 2 months I was 100% clear and barely any scars/hyperpigmentation. I was prescribed differin to maintain my skin after Ziana. I was told to do this for 3 months. No problem, until I quit differin (big mistake). My acne came back worse :(. Now Ziana seems to work slower, although it is helping definitely. I believe its logical that its taking longer to work since my acne came back worse, right?

Hmmm, I'm using Ziana currently. Nothing real big on my face, but I still have some acne on my jawline.

 

I wash at night with cetaphil cleanser, wait 15 minutes and put on Ziana, wait 20-30 minutes and apply cetaphil moisturizer. I always wash right before I am ready for bed too.

How long you've been on Ziana? For me it doesnt dry my skin when applied but overall my skin is dry if not moisturized twice a day. So any idea does it matter if i apply moisturizer beforehand and wait 1-2 hrs or is it better to apply it afterwards?

I got it last September. I didn't put it on regularly since then. During the winter I always clear up, so I didn't need it. Also, It was too drying in the winter. Just started putting it on again everyday 1.5 months ago.

 

I don't think it matters if u moisturize first or last. I think u can even mix the moisturizer with the Ziana if u want to. The only reason u r supposed to wait is to make sure your face is completely dry before applying it.

I have been putting 2.5% bp on after my morning wash. If u don't get red and flaky it's probably ok. I put moisturizer on after the bp too
