Pros:

Smooths skin, less acne, gets rid of breakouts quickly, cleared up most of my acne, breakouts occur less.

Cons:

No results for scars yet.

I have oily skin, so I think Ziana doesn't dry out my skin as much as someone who already has dry skin. I've only been using it for about a month now, and I can tell my face is looking and feeling clearer. My skin is still pretty oily, but I break out less and if I do get a pimple, Ziana clears it up quickly. I'm hoping it will eventually reduce the appearance of scars. I haven't seen any difference in those results yet.

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:

This stuff really works! At first I was frustrated with the product, but I discovered less is more. Once I starting applying a smaller amount of the product, my face really started look a lot better. My skin is clearer and smoother. Love it!

Cons:

It kinda makes my skin feel a little sticky when it's on, but it's only at night and it washes off easily.

The product is really good and my face looks great!

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.

Works Great But Have to be Patient
I started Ziana in March of 2016. For the first 3-4 months, my skin purged BADLY! But I did NOT quit! I continued treatment. Here I am, March of 2017, and my skin cleared about 85%. I have recently cut out sugar in my diet and started taking vitamins to take care of the rest of the acne left (minimal amount). ONLY use a pea size amount of Ziana before bed everyday. I know the purging is difficult... I understand. But you have to continue for at least 4-6 months as that's when it starts to clear! I will hopefully add photos to my profile soon to show how it helped me :)

Nope
I was given this treatment by my dermatologist about 5-6 months ago, and was told that it would for sure make me break out in the beginning, but that that would just be a "purge" and that my skin would clear up. I read mixed reviews, many saying that you just had to wait it out. I have, and still not satisfied. I can't see any significant improvement, and I'm not surprised, as the product doesn't even feel like it's working. Maybe my skin is just tough. When I applied this product the clear gel went on smoothly, but I had no tingling sensation or anything, and usually I look for that as a sign of disinfection. This product feels like absolutely nothing on facial skin, and I haven't been seeing results. Not to mention the INSANE price. :c

Bad
3 week initial breakout. Made pores look huge. Worst part was the greasy look on skin. Could not get the shiny look to go away even after washing it. Didn't feel like it was working. Only positive was that it didn't dry out my skin like everything else. Going back to benzaclin. This is garbage.
