Pros:

It works. Fantastically. It also doesnt dry out my skin like my dermatologist said it did which was what I mainly worried about because I have dry skin.

Cons:

- A bit expensive around $100 for the non generic brand
- Your acne gets significantly WORSE before it gets better. IF this happens to you, dont worry, the initial breakout should subside and you should see improvements in about a month

TRY IT. THis is the ONLY thing (along with the 10% benzyol peroxide cream) that worked for me. I tried all of the cleansers and creams and masks and peels and systems etc. that promised clear skin, but my acne is stubborn and it didnt help even a little bit. If you are like me, you should really give this a go because it worked for me and alot of my friends too:)

Pros:

Cleared up cystic acne and when new pimples come up, they subside in 2-3 days. Cheap as I have only bought one container of the gel and it's last me 3 months. Also, no mood-altering side effects!

Cons:

Very difficult to handle in beginning. My skin peeled like crazy and was very red. Also, it has been very slow healing on the shallow scars left over from the cystic acne.

This is a pretty good product. When I first began using it, I had large, painful cystic acne all over my cheeks. The gel will make your skin peel in the beginning but trust me don't give up. I'm about three months into using Ziana and I hardly get any more cysts (and if I do, it's gone within 2 days). Although it has not completely cleared up the scarring left over from the acne, my scars continue to fade and seem to get better every day. Last pieces of advice: do NOT pick acne when on this gel, it will just make it worse and if the peeling gets really bad, use tweezers to lift off the excess skin (an especially good technique if you're applying makeup daily). Good luck!

Pros:

It works Great! I've suffered from acne for 7 years and this product REALLY works! My skin feels much smoother, and I've noticed a drastic improvement in only two weeks.

Cons:

It is expensive, however it's worth it. It also tends to make my skin very oily and I now have little bumps on my forehead which I'm sure will go away soon.

I stilll break out with occaisonal small pimpes, but I plan to stick with the regime and I'm sure I'll start seeing even better results considering it takes at least 8 weeks for full results.

Pros:

Cleared some acne

Cons:

Made me break out by my side burns and a few pimples here and their.

I have moderate acne not like cystic but i get like 5-10 average sized then small ones by my forehead and chin. I got ziana gel subscribed by my doctor and he told me it takes 1 month to work but idk its been like 2 1/2 weeks and i dont see to many improvements. I used Oil-Free Moisture from Neutrogena in the shower(once a day) And i have used every type of acne cream, i am still afraid of accutane and other pills. Facewash i really only use soap or Neutrogena wash with like beads, its weird.

Pros:

Works! Best stuff I've ever used. Takes a couple weeks, and then perfectly clear skin. Better than anything I have EVER used... and I've used EVERYTHING.

Cons:

Too darn expensive. No insurance coverage over a certain age.. I think it's like 34 or 37. This is MY insur company... your co might be different. When I had coverage, I paid $15. Otherwise... it's like $250.

If your insur covers, GET IT! If not, you better be rich.

Pros:

Clears up skin really fast, and evens out skin tone.

Cons:

Makes you break out pretty badly the first 1-3 weeks you use it.

It works. It makes your break out the first few weeks, but it clears up those breakouts really quickly. Make sure to get a coupon from your dermatologist...its worth it

Pros:

It works fast. After only a week, my skin was clear. It didn't dry out my skin either which was nice.

Cons:

There really aren't any cons in my opinion.

It works fast, which is what everybody wants, and it really clears your skin from acne.

Pros:

gets rid of acne!

Cons:

red and peeling skin, pricey without insurance, if combined with other products may become really irritated

My dermatologist prescribed me this after countless acne products. My skin not only had acne but twice as much post-acne. The first month I had used it my skin broke out a lot. It also peeled my skin drastically, which was very embarrassing, even with moisturizer and makeup . A little while after that the post-acne marks started fading away and acne reoccurred less. After 3-4 months all my acne was almost gone and less came. I highly recommend this product even after the bad side effects.
