Pros:

skin great now.

Cons:

takes a while to work.

At first i was nervous about starting ziana because of what i had read about it, it was totally worth it. I started seeing a bit of a difference right off the bat, but after a little over a month, i saw a major difference. my skin is now nearly flawless, at least on my standards.

Pros:

Cleared up all my acne on my forehead and doesnt turn my skin red. Keeps acne away and clears up scars :)

Cons:

Takes about 1 month to see results and makes your acne break out alot more/faster within that first month of using it. You just kinda gotta suck it up and take it cause the results are great

I would recommend it to anyone who has a acne problem, quite affordable also

Pros:

It seems to work instantly, making skin more translucent and clearing up acne-- not by drying the skin, but by letting it breathe. It also gets rid of acne scars. Unlike other meds, Ziana doesn't irritate the skin. It soothes and smoothes.

Cons:

It's important to pay attention to the expiration date. Recently, I've noticed that mine has not been absorbing very well and is sticky on the surface of my skin. I didn't realize there would be an expiration date, and that has been a problem for me.

Ziana is the best medication I have used, and I recommend it to everyone. I am not speaking from the viewpoint of someone who has struggled with really horrible acne, but from that of someone who occasionally breaks stride because of a little bit of irritation now and then. Ziana seems to work for every skin-related problem, even the ones I didn't know I had. It makes your skin tone more even and balances oil production. It can combat redness or rosacia, bumps under the skin, large pores. I think it might increase the elasticity as well, which just livens your skin [I'm fifteen and my skin is often puffy or blotchy because I don't sleep because adults have made school harder than it was for them.] Oh, and there's one more thing: You don't know what congested skin feels like if you don't use this, because it's likely you've had it your whole (adult) life. Do you know the tingle that you get when your pores are breathing? That is what you feel all the time when you are using Ziana.

Pros:

I can't believe my skin looks great. I tried everything. In my early 20's I used accutane and in my 30's my acne came back and Ziana cleared it and it looks great.

Cons:

it takes about three months before you see any results. Stick with it. My face got worse before it got better. I am so glad I stuck with Ziana.

It took about three months for it to work. It cleared up my face and the texture of my face is nice and it looks good. It works but you need to stick it out. Don't give up.

Pros:

Skins looks and feels better

Cons:

made my skin very oily the first few days.

I was very scared to start a new acne treatment. I have used everything from Proactiv, Murad, Clinique, Neutrogenia, and so many more. This is the only product that I have actually seen a difference. I have been using it in combo with plexion cleansing cloths. My skin is smoother, softer, and has not been dry or flaky. I have tried so many products and I have got to say this is the best. My insurance however did not cover the first prescription, so I had to pay a bundle. but i have since fought and got them to cover it. I LOVE ZIANA!

Pros:

This stuff has cleared up my skin significantly. This is a follow up post. I posted when I had been using this for about a month. Since then, my skin has improved so much more! My skin has never felt this smooth, ever!

Cons:

It took a while for me to get full results. My skin got worse before it got better. It can be expensive if you don't have insurance, but when I think about how much money I was blowing on OTC/dept. store products, it evens out!

This stuff works for most people. My skin did get worse before it got better, but I knew that going into it. Now it is such a relief not to have horrible skin. I still have some scars, but my skin is smooth and I don't have to cake on makeup before I leave the house! Just to reiterate what I and others have said: ONLY USE A PEA SIZE AMOUNT AND WEAR SUNSCREEN. I can remember standing at the Clinique counter buying makeup, and the makeup lady saying to me, "You know you should wash your face twice a day and your acne will get better." I just started crying. I knew I spent more time caring for my skin than she did, and she had no idea how horrible she was making me feel. I don't have to worry about that now!!! I am so glad I was prescribed this product.

Pros:

Made my skins look AMAZING. It makes my skin look fresh and goes on easily. Cleared my cystic acne and my little pimples on my forehead and chin.

Cons:

It took a very long time for me to see FULL results -- about 3 months. I was getting very disappointed but I kept using it because I heard that it can take a while to completely work its magic. Stick with it because you will not be disappointed

GET IT!!!!!!

Pros:

IT REALLY WORKS. CLEARS UP SKIN & EVENS SKIN TONE. SKIN LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

Cons:

TAKES ABOUT 2 1/2 WEEKS TO SEE RESULTS. SKIN GOT WORSE BEFORE BETTER. SKIN VERY VERY OILY.

I am amazed how well it works. Wish I would have found this years ago. FYI - After 2 weeks my face was a mess. Everything had come to the surface and I was so oily. I couldn't take it, so I went for a facial (extraction and fruit acid peel) AMAZING. Best decision. It made a huge difference. This dried it out and removed all the clogged pores. My skin has never looked better. Very pleased. OH, YEAH - I always mix a pea size amount of Ziana with double the size amount of moisturizer in my palm before applying it. That was a recommendation by my doctor.
