Pros:

Helps reduce redness of old acne scars, no smell, dries fast, easy to use

Cons:

None so far...

I've only been using this gel for about a week. From what I can see it did dry out the area around some of my pimples but if you apply a facial lotion at night before the gel it helps A LOT. It does a good job fading previous scars as well. I haven't gotten any new pimples in my normal breakout areas either. However, it does seem to take time getting rid of those painful cystic pimples I'm prone to, but as long as it prevents new ones from forming thats fine by me! My only concern is price since I'm using samples the doctor gave me until I run out and have to fill the prescription but they also gave me a discount card.

Pros:

Was able to clear up my cystic acne in about a month!

Cons:

If I miss a couple of days, I remember why I use it in the first place.

I have tried everything you can think of to clear up my acne (from birth control, Pro-activ, Acne Free, Kinerase, Philosophy, Obagi, you name it) and nothing has come close to this stuff! It took a little while for me to see results, but in a little over a month, my face had cleared up. I get the occasional pimple here and there, mostly when I've been camping and haven't been able to properly take care of my face, but I still haven't seen anything like the cystic acne I had before. My dermatologist has me using Ziana, along with a 9% benzoyl peroxide cleanser and this seems to be the key combination to really overcoming my acne. When I got pregnant, I expected my acne to return, but even after six months, I've yet to see it (at least on my face).

Pros:

It's doing something. Sticking with the treatment to see if it will pay off in the end.

Cons:

The morning after my first night of use, my face erupted with acne.
Two weeks into applying, I still have harsh acne.

Before I started using this product, my skin wasn't as bad as it is today. But I'm only two weeks into this trial and my acne is responding. I hope in the long run it's for the better. Applying faithfully to the instructions that i was given and keeping in mind that I was told my skin would get a lot worse before it gets any better. So far my dermatologist was right. Do I Recommend: It's absolutely worth the try.

Pros:

-dosent take long
-no redness in the proscess

Cons:

- only works the first time!
- irratates face combined with sunlight
-way to expensive!

i did have sever acne, and i didnt know what to do, i went to my dermatologist, and she recomended ziana. the first time i used it, it worked like magic! it took a week, and my face was completley clear. i stopped using it over the summer, because the warning on the back was : dont use while being exposed to major amounts of sunlighgt. it was okay, because my acne was never theat bad in the summer. i started using it again this fall, it was horrible! my skin turned red and oily! and even worse when i put cover up on, my entire face peeled! ziana ended up not working anymore, so if you use it, dont stop! your face will break out worse then it was!

Pros:

Ziana didn't start working for me for about a month, but when it started working it worked really well, i will get a few random pimples here and there especially when menstruating but not nearly as many as i used to get.

Cons:

I am afraid that after using it for a year my skin will become immune to it.

I still get a few random pimples around my period but other than that the produst works great!

Pros:

Clears up acne fast! Leaves skin smooth and goes a long way.

Cons:

Price and can make skin oily if you don't use a "pea size" amount

I use Ziana along with Azelex for those nasty blemishes that surface every now and then. By the next day the pimple is gone with no redness or scar! I have been using this product for about a year and I'm still using the same tube. I did pay a hefty price for Ziana, however, it does last a lifetime.

Pros:

Smooths and clears skin significantly. A little goes a long way.

Cons:

Price. Need to use every other day (or week) or skin will become excessively oily (esp. my nose).

Great for giving you an overall fresh, clear complexion. However, it doesn't work well for me if used day in, day out. Smooths skin nicely, but if used daily on oil-prone areas I tend to break out differently than not using at all (usually huge, gross pustules). Clindamycin has always not really worked for me (don't think for anyone, actually). I would be content with just Retin-A gel but I spent $70 on this and it just seems to last and last.

Pros:

Makes skin smooth and heals some acne

Cons:

Extremely dry skin during the first week of treatment

Like many others in this forum I experienced extremely dry skin after first starting Ziana. I have been using the product for a little over a week now. The first few days my face was peeling so badly that it looked as if someone had pasted dried oatmeal to my face; however my face has started to heal up now from the peeling & things are looking on the bright side. I can't see a huge difference in my acne yet as the peeling caused a good deal of purging, but now that the peeling has minimized considerably my skin feels like it does after a microdermabrasion session. I use the Ziana in the evening after washing my face with Pevonia Botanica Clarigel Exfoliating Cleanser. In the am I cleanse with the same & then use Pevonia Reactive Skin Care Cream, which is "ideal for post-operative care: laser resurfacing & dermabrasion, as well as for Retin A users." Since Ziana works like Retin A this cream has been a LIFE SAVER. I highly recommend it to anyone having problems with ziana and pe
