Pros:

Cleared up my acne completely. Did not dry me out like Differin did. Switched from Differin to Epiduo (which was even worse than Differin) and then to Ziana. NO dry skin and made it easy to put on my makeup without it looking cracked.

Cons:

Gel is watery so you need so much less than you need with Differin or Epiduo. I wish my doctor would have told me that, because if you put on too much, it can feel sticky. The right amount will give you great skin and no bad dryness.

AMAZING. I have tried Retin-A Micro, Atralin, Differin, and Epiduo and was about to give up. This is the only retinoid that worked for me without making my face a dessert and flaky and making it impossible to put on my foundation every day. I LOVE Ziana!!

Pros:

Has greatly improved the size of pimples, not gotten any of the cyst-like size bumps since starting 30 days ago; appearance of skin after a couple of weeks was much smoother and was softer

Cons:

Noted that red marks (healing scars?) stood out immediately and required cover with make-up, got fine rash-like bumps around hairline and on side of face near ear right away that took about 10 days to clear; at about 3 weeks, flaky dry patches

Am 43 and began experiencing cyst-like acne mid cycle about a year ago, nearly always to the lower left or right of nose, midcheek or chin ; when suggested a hormonal connection to derm, he put me on ziana gel and spironolactone (already taking tetracycline), cyst-like pimples did not present at mid-cycle but more manageable tiny zits did ; am very pleased after 30 days

Pros:

it works in ways that no OTC can possibly work.

Cons:

turns my pimples into flaky spots before they disappear--annoying b/c it's harder to cover flaky spots than zits! my derm suggested using only a pea-sized amount for my whole face. i find that if i use more than that, my skin becomes very irritated.

for me, the product works, as long as i use it consistently, and don't use so much of it as to irritate my skin. i did not have any oiliness issues as others have been reporting--if anything, it's helped to reduce my usually grease-bucket level of oil production. as long as my derm gives me the coupons (or my insurance decides to add it to their formulary), i'll continue to use it.

Pros:

I love it! It doesn't smell and it's not harsh on my skin like a lot of other products I have used.

Cons:

It makes my skin a little oily at first but once you use it the correct way for several weeks your skin looks amazing! People thought I was wearing airbrush makeup and I had nothing on.

Every skin type is different but this is worth a try.

Pros:

Very powerful, doesn't irritate my eyes. Seems like this will be a great solution to my acne problems.

Cons:

Not a clear liquid so it is easy to see on the area getting treated. But if you are black, you wont have a problem.

It's good. Not to much money, but I would recommend the 25 off coupon from their website if you are strapped for money. The product itself does work, just not in a snap.

Pros:

No irritation, No dry skin

Cons:

super expensive....must ask doc for discount card to get it for $25
Takes awhile to see results...took me a month before I noticed a difference.

FINALLY!! After more than 10 years and thousands of dollars spent on medication (over the counter and prescription) I found the answer to my prayers. Just in time for my engagement pictures...Thanks Ziana!
