Pros:

Great product, worked for in about 2 1/2 weeks, acne and my oily uneven skin is gone.

Cons:

no cons really, i paid fifteen dollars for a big tube that lasts you forever if you just use a pea size

bottom line is if you has moderate or lightly serve ance like i did you need to get this gel, it works fabulous on my skin !

Pros:

COMPLETELY clear skin

Cons:

Expensive without insurance

I have gone through numberous acne creams over the past few years and most of them either didnt work, or left me with extremely dry/sensitive skin. Ziana Gel completely cleared up my skin and because it was a gel, did not irritate my skin or dry it out. Unfortunately, I had to switch insurance companies and because this medicine is so new, my insurance did not cover it and it would have costed $130.00 so I had to stop using it.

Pros:

SEE RESULTS QUICKLY
MY DOCTOR GAVE ME A CARD TO ACTIVATE & USE AS A SECOND INS. AND IT ONLY COST ME $ 25.00

Cons:

DRYS SKIN JUST A LITTLE

I'm 43 years old and I have to take medicine ..... one of the side effects is acne. I had to go see a dermatologist. He put me on Solodyn for 6 weeks and I went back to see him. I seen a big improvement. At this point , he gave me another precripition of Solodyn and Ziana. I starting applying the Ziana right away and I have seen a difference in just a week. It's been 1 month and the brusing (from squeezing) are fading away each day. MY face is almost back to normal and I'm very happy !!!!! I encourage you to use this medication it works wonders and I hope my testimony can help others.

Pros:

Doesn't take much to do the job and doesn't smell or leave residue.

Cons:

Pricey if you don't have insurance. Dry skin!

This is a great product to use. I already have sensitive skin so I was expecting dryness. At first I tried to use more than the recommended amount. Don't do this!! It will make your skin very very dry. After my skin got used to it, with some moisturizer I was fine. Took about a week but am seeing a difference now. My skin when it does break out they clear up very fast and the marks are more minimal now. Definitely takes some time to see a major difference though. Worth it to wait it out. I am on this with doxycycline.

Pros:

Clear skin

Cons:

cost

I am in my 40's and have tryed everything on the market twice to help my acme,nothing ever worked. i even have two scares on my cheeks that they tryed to remove cystes, when the stiches came out there was more cystes under the old ones so I did not expect much,but was very surprised I have a cyst on my chin that has been there for 4years,it has finally opened up and is going away.I am very happy. I is a little drying for my skin so I use it every other day. I am going to try it on the scarrs that would be soooo great if it worked on them

Pros:

Clears up acne fast, small amount only used, tightens skin, not oily, dries fast once on

Cons:

Price if you don't have insurance, if you use to much you will look like you have a sunburn and then skin peals.

I like this product a lot. Make sure you only use on a pea size amount. I learned the hard way every day use for me was to much, so I only use it ever other day now. It cleared up my skin fast. When ever I start to feel manila or see a pimple coming I put a little on. When I first started using it I used two pea sizes, 3 days in a row, and the 4th day my face was sensitive to the sun screen, it was pink and then it pealed in some places. So only use the 1 pea size. Make sure to get the coupon from the derm, as it saved me $35. So I only payed $15.

Pros:

Evened out my skin tone, cleared up my skin really fast, and is super-easy to use. One 60g tube will last for MONTHS. Made my skin less oily too.

Cons:

Some dryness and redness, especially if you don't use sunscreen and moisturizer.

I went to the dermatologist after using OTC and department-store brands for years. This was the first thing prescribed, and it's working wonderfully for me! I've been using it for just over two weeks and have seen significant improvement in my skin in that period of time. I have gotten a small break out since starting the Ziana, but it's healing quickly. You definitely have to make sure you use a moisturizer and sunscreen when using this! I forgot my moisturizer one day, which has SPF 30 sunscreen in it and was recommended by my derm, and my skin was exceptionally dry and ended up very red as a result. Sometimes at night when putting it on my cheeks will sting or feel tight, but just make sure to only use a SMALL pea-sized amount and the side effects won't be too bad. I also received a prescription savings card from my derm when she gave me the prescription, though even with my insurance this would be much more affordable than the retail price of $394!
