Pros:

Lightweight. You only have to use a little bit. I've been using it once a day, every day for almost two weeks. It has dried out my pimples and my white heads. It has also has reduced the amount of my blackheads. It also worked on the acne on my back.

Cons:

It can make your face feel oily. IF IT DOES, YOU'RE USING TOO MUCH. It also makes your skin a little worse before it clears it up. Be patient.

It does work. It is a weter-based acne medication, so you do not need too much. If it makes your face feel oily, use less of it. I like this product, it works for me. I am a 15 year old female and my acne is moderate. It took about 9 days for it to start working.

Pros:

It actually does work, I normally don't break out too much but when I went to a more humid environment I broke out like crazy, so I went to the derm and he gave me this and solodyn and combined I don't get pimples at all, just one or two small ones.

Cons:

if you use it too much your skin will become red, my cheeks are pretty red right now, but it's fading my post acne marks so i can deal with it

Ziana does work, after about 3 days I could already see the difference on the amount of acne I was getting and on my post-acne marks. It fades the post-acne marks relatively quickly in about 2 weeks or so you will see a big difference in your skin, with the amount of breakouts and the post-acne marks.

Pros:

Works well
Easy to apply
Doesn't seem to bleach fabric

Cons:

Dries out skin
Smells funny

I really like Ziana gel. I get acne all over my body, not just on my face, so I can use this product without worrying about my clothes becoming discolored. I use it with Zaclir body wash, so my skin is always a little dry, but over all, I'm very pleased with this. It takes a while to work, but the results are worth it.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin, did not cause dryness or irration.

Cons:

somewhat expensive

This product has been a godsend for me. I went to college, and instantly broke out (change of location, stress, etc.) Anyway, I started to get acne in places I never had before. Not just inflammation acne, but small white-ish bumps that WOULD NOT GO AWAY. I was put on tazorac by a derm, and it was a nightmare. My skin started peeling off, it was constantly red and itchy, and broke me out worse than I could have imagined. I stopped using it and went to another derm who prescribed Ziana. After only a month, my forehead started clearing up and the white bumps were going away. Even though it did take about 4 months to see true, visible results, Ziana caused no dryness or irratation which was very nice. My face is completely clear and I have Ziana to thank for it. I had tried SO many other things and nothing worked besides this. Please please try it, it changed my life!

great product!

Pros:

shrinks pimples
works relatively quickly
noticeable changes

Cons:

sticky texture
kinda drying (not too bad)

I've been battling adult acne for about a year and a half now. I have on and off breakouts and finally my doctor prescribed this gel. It's probably the best acne cream I've ever used. It reduces inflammation very well. It's not a MIRACLE drug, but it has noticeable effects in just a week or two. I'm still battling acne but on a much much smaller scale than a few months ago. Has kind of a sticky texture, so I put on lotion a few minutes after it dries so my skin feels nice. I would recommend this to any 20-somethings battling cystic jawline and cheek acne like I was. Also, with a rebate I got it for FREE! Even better!

Pros:

Works
Clears up skin and
improves appearance
Smoothes lines (unexpected result)
Glowing skin

Cons:

Slight burning skin at first
Skin can be flaky and sensitive initally
Need to apply sun screen and moisturizer religiously

It worked, I got this prescribed after a 2 month regimen of antibiotics and Aczone that left my skin a bit dry and confused looking (dry and scaly in some spots, red and sensitive in others, with residual acne fighting to stay put). I told my derm I noticed more whiteheads during my initial treatment which I barely ever had before treatment and she said this would help remove these and reduce acne scarring from the flares before and during my treatment. (had 2 major flares) I also decided to ween off the antibiotics and stop using much of the aczone unless absolutely necessary for returning acne, but and as soon as I introduced this my skin flaked slightly, though in a few days I noticed my skin "breathed" better and it felt like a layer of the dry damaged skin had been lifted. It just felt more sensitive to the air, and pores felt open and clean. I looked up reviews and saw all sort of reactions listed, yet mine seemed to clean up my skin from a lot of left over junk and dryness from the treatment. Now 4 months later I use this every other day and I think it's helped keep my skin clear. My skin is amazing now and my scars have cleared up significantly. I am naturally tan/olive and scarred very easily, this has evened my skin out. The tube also lasts so long, since you apply very little of it to work. Also my skin has adjusted to it, it's no longer sensitive as it was at first. A quick tip, do make sure you add moisturizer to you regimen (I use a generic drug-store brand without oil or scent and it works fantastic and dries up clean in no time) The combo is perfect to keep my skin glowy (and it does make it glowy) Side perk I hear this is prescribed for wrinkles as well, I am in my early 30s and don't have many but if this helps stave these off as well as keep it acne free- hey!)

Pros:

No staining clothes!!!
Ease/cost of 1 large tube
Quick drying & not sticky

Cons:

A little more oily
Sensitivity to sun & wind
Dry throat/ cough

One large tube is the cost of two previous meds & four times the use. Finally, 5 months...my skin is smoother, tighter and if I do have that occassional breakout, it clears within a few days. Pitfall ~ I tend to have a dry throat/cough since started use; keep hydrated. I had noticable reddening & pithy look with previous meds ~ Now I get compliments!

Pros:

worked wonderfully - even vanquished the cystic acne in the hollow of my jaw that had been there for years! With a once a day application, the tube lasted a very long time.

Cons:

the price because Oxford didn't cover it, and the smell (smells like dog food, but it goes away after it dries)

Totally worth it. When combined with BenzaClin and Nicomide tablets, this regimen is the only thing that has cleared my skin completely in years. Cystic acne is totally gone!
