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

i havn't used this product very long, almost 2 weeks now. I used Duac for 2 1/2 years and was VERY happy with it but eventually i stopped noticing improvement and started to break out instead of get better. So i went to the doctor and the next night i used Ziana. I was very scared to use it after reading all the reviews but i figured i'd give it a shot. I was already breaking out before i used it so i don't really know if i should blame breaking out on Ziana, but now my face is practically clear! It's been working really well for me so far and i can't wait to finally achieve clear skin. I'm pretty positive it will work well

Good Product, I will continue to use it!

just not sure yet going to give it a couple more weeks :)

Ziana didn't work, it made me just look like a huge peeled zit! And I couldn't hide it either since my face was peeling so bad. The cost was around $500 but my derm. gave me a coupon so I ended up paying $25.00. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody!

In my case, ziana gel has worked very well. It doesn't overdry my skin & my derm explained to me that ziana gel can be mixed with moisturizer & not interfer with the medication's effectiveness. This is a crucial fact to know because mixing the medication with moisturizer helps eliminate overdrying problems & the sticky feeling that the gel can have on your face. Everyone must understand that each person's body & acne are going to react differently to different acne treatments. But the bottom line is treating acne doesn't just involve smearing a cream on your face at night. You have to put in the man hours to make it really work. My derm instructed me to buy panoxyl to wash my face. I opted for the 2.5% facial formula & it's worked well. I also use a cleansing mask once a week to help draw out trapped bacteria. I wear makup that is least likely to bother my skin & remove it as soon as I come home. I use the walmart brand facial hydrating cloths to remove my makeup & for quick cleansi

It absolutely has helped my acne, but I'm still not pimple-free (though my guess is that I never will be, since I'm now 28 and still haven't "grown out of it"). I looked in the mirror tonight and thought "My skin would be really nice if I didn't have these couple of huge cysts!" What I mean by that is that it really works to clear the small stuff, but just doesn't help my cystic acne at all. That said, I would still recommend it, because I can't even imagine what my latest breakout would have looked like without it.

Seems to be working but I am also taking Solodyn antibiotic so I am not certain whats working or is it a combination of both.

My dermatologist insists that it works and takes up to a month to see results, but my acne is so much worse than before, that I have trouble going out during the day. My acne has gotten so bad, that I feel the need to cake on my makeup, even during school (i go to an all girls school). It has yet to work and at this rate, I really don't think it will. Oh well. At least it was cheap.

I was very skeptical when my new dermatologist gave me samples and a presctription for Ziana. I had tried everything in the past with little success (Retin-A, oral medecines, chemical peels, laser treatments), and nothing really worked. I thought it would be the same for this, but much to my surprise Ziana has worked miracles! I have been using it for about 4 weeks now and my skin has never looked better. I have only had 3-4 very minor pimples the past 4 weeks (was getting about 3-4 per week before), and the best part is that it has really evened out my skin tone from past breakouts. Red scars are fading and I am feeling much more confident about my skin (if only it healed pock marks!). I am truly amazed at how well this has worked. I only use this product once every 2-3 days as I was getting some flaking/peeling and had some redness when I was using it every day. Scaling it back has done the trick. Also, you want to wear AT LEAST SPF 30 while using this, as skin sunburns

i am still unsure of ziana. i nearly used it for three weeks, but my face got worse. it is so bad i don't even want to talk to people. my cheek became very red, and there was a breakout on my forehead. worth mentioning though, was that my skin did get better in the end of the second week but suddenly very worse after a few days. so far, my skin had been worse than before i used ziana. i regretted a little bit that i started to use it, but i hope that things would really get better in a month (which is so long!). no other acne products had cured my acne problem in three years. also, a peasized amount is not enough to spread across the whole face.
