Pros:

Clears up acne quickly. I saw a significant difference in my face within 2 weeks.

Cons:

Makes your skin very sensitive to the sun. It's also expensive if you don't have insurance. Many derms have coupons for this stuff because it's so expensive ($332). Be sure to ask for a coupon or a rebate offer from your derm.

It works! I still have hyperpigmentation scars but my derm said that with continued use Ziana will lighten those up as well. Be sure to stay out of the sun.

Pros:

Starts to clear up acne within a few weeks

Cons:

gives you oily skin

When I started to use this product, I noticed results within a few days. My skin started to feel more smooth. Before i started Ziana i was on Retin-a and all that did for me was dry up my skin and i looked like i was sunburnt in the middle of winter. Lately I have noticed that the product has been bringing white heads and pipples. Hopefully with in a few weeks they will clear up

Pros:

Fast results, as least in my case. Skin completely clear in problem areas in less than a week. Not very drying at all when combined with a good moisturizer.

Cons:

Not sure yet. Have to be careful with sun exposure?

I have been on Ziana for about 6 days. I am hoping that if anything adverse was going to happen, it would have happened by this point. I am 26 and had moderate acne when I was a teenager. I did Accutane at a young age and that saved me; no problems for the past ten years or so. I started breaking out on my forehead and chin this year, mostly blackheads/whiteheads. I went to a dermatologist last week and she put me on a regimen to include Ziana at night. In the AM and PM I use something called Lipid Drops from Cosmedical, which is an amazing product to help retain moisture. Remember to use Ziana SPARINGLY. The doctor told me the two teeny tiny sample tubes will last a month. I bet a lot of reactions come from using too much. I had a tiny bit of peeling the first two days, and feel a little dry at night, but I don't care. It's working!!

Pros:

CLEAR FLAWLESS SKIN!!!!

I have been using Ziana for only 1 week and it has almost completely cleared my skin! I use it before bed and my dermatologist has me combining Ziana with Clindamyacin lotion in the morning and night. This combination has incredibly cleared my skin. The first 5 days my skin was dry and a bit peeling, but each day it got clearer and clearer. Now after one week there is no more peeling and just clear beautiful skin that I have wanted my whole life!! Ziana has changed my life dramatically! If you have acne, please give this a try. It really works. I tried proactive and differin in the past and they did nothing.

Pros:

amazing....cleared up acne in about a month while nothing else worked.

Cons:

takes a long time to see results

this medicine is amazing. I've tried everything else, retin-a, doxycyclin, benzaclin...none of which worked. I used this along with brevoxil, and it worked, Now i just have scars to worry about.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne 99%. Apply only at bedtime. Large tube can last 6-9 months. Thankfully my insurance covers this expensive prescription.

Cons:

Acne did get worse at first but cleared up after 3 months of usage. Expensive if insurance doesn't cover it.

This product may take up to 3 months to show results, so you must be patient. It definitely took that long for me but was well worth the wait. I've had mild-moderate acne for almost 20 years and this is the best my complexion has looked in a long time. Before Ziana I used many over the counter products with not very good results.
