Ziana : Clindamycin (1.2%) and Tretinoin (.025%) Gel

In stark contrast to some of these reviews - I'm neither negatively or positive shocked by this product. It hasn't been a miracle drug by any measure, as it's taken a near eternity to make a noticeable difference in my skin. I would say it took about 3 months (in conjunction with Solodyn) for breakouts to subside dramatically. If you are suffering with little, non-painful bumps, Ziana will not help. The product is generally not prescribed for spot treatment and is typically applied to the entire face, so the medication can spread under the skin and prevent surface breakouts. I'm wholly unsure whether this is effective against painful cystic acne, but I have noticed that it tends to lessen its severity a bit. Strangely enough, my skin seems to be developing worse hyper pigmentation in my course of Ziana. Use at your own discretion.

awesome product can't wait for the long run after trying product longer!!

it just depends. it lessened my acne but did not cure it. i had to go on acutane.

I will continue to use this product since it helps with acne and aging skin. It is very expensive if you do not have insurance, but my insurance covers it minus my cheap co-pay.

I am desperate and sticking it out. I saw the immediate results but after five weeks now, my skin has had a break out. I hope this is just the normal routine that everyone else is experiencing.

I have had acne ever since I was 15. I am 26 now and I am still fighting it. Sometimes it is mild and sometimes it is so bad I want to hide and never come out of the house. Acne has really affected my life. I am going to say that two years ago I used ziana and it completely cleared my acne. My face was so clear people couldn't even believe I had acne before but now two years after my skin is again horrible, I think way worst that before. I have tried all acne medications out there without good results.

I like it because it clears skin fast-- it will break down even the toughest pimples. Patience is required because of the peeling and oilyness it provokes.

I have only been using this product a week and am hoping that it works even better over time. It is a little better now but not enough that I would stick with it if it doesn't show more progress after another month. I do not find this product sticky like many others have said, but I do feel like my skin is oilier in the morning than it was before when I put the Ziana on the night before. I use this product every night.

I wrote a review a week and a half ago. Just updating. Ziana has done wonders for me. Sometimes I can't believe it myself. Initially the outbreaks accelerated, I didn't mind at first because I figured it was doing its thing. Then I began to worry because it seemed to overly accelerate, I switched it to every other day and that seems to have worked. Haven't had major breakouts, no huge sweltering pimples. I have a few small ones, barely visible. I think its important to note that I don't use Ziana in conjunction with any other acne product, topical or oral. Only stuff I use is a cleanser and a moisturizer, from my derm. I used to exfoliate my skin, but I found that it dried and irritated it a lot, so stopped. I drink lots of water to keep hydrated since my doctor told me I have "dry oil". Keeping it simple. So far, so good. My skin has been able to recuperate from all the past pimples and redness. I'm very happy... so far. I'll see how it pans out in the long

I am still hopeful that this medication will work. I will be getting married next year and it would really be horrible if I still had acne. I never had acne until about 3 years ago and progresively has got worst. I am taking a combination of Doryx and Zyana. I hope this does work. I unlike many of the reviews I have read don't get dry skin or redness. My only negative symptom are more breakouts, which is what Im trying to get rid of. My face has never looked worst in. I would normally just get cyst close to my mestual cycle whereas now I get a new cyst with puss almost daily. I wash my face three times daily since the medication makes my face oily in the areas where I dont have acne. My Doctor has given me high hopes with this medication as he previosly prescribed tazorac and benzaclyn which where terribly harsh on my skin and was highly allergic to them.
