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

I am 13, and for about a year or two I struggled with acne. I literally was obsessed with my skin. I was spending my free time looking up reviews of products and trying everything from cheap drug store products to expensive department store one and getting facials with my own money. All I can say is stop wasting your time and money looking for other products other than Epiduo. It took me a couple of months to start working and I'm happy to say that face is acne free. I was also using another product that I got from my Dermatologist gave me called Epiduo which was amazing also. I have to admit that my skin is a little more red than usual after using this wonderful product, but it can easily be concealed with a BB cream or tinted moisturizer. This a an amazing product that really does work! Please do not waste your time trying everything! Get to your nearest dermatologist and get Ziana!

I started battling with moderate to severe adult acne about 4 years ago. Out of nowhere, my skin just broke out everywhere. It was that painful cystic acne, along with clogged pores EVERYWHERE. In a panic, I went online and read about all types of treatments and success stories. I tried a new regimen every few months and gave every new option a real chance to work. I tried BP, chemical peels, and retinol. My first dermatologist prescribed me spironolactone, minocyclin, and bactrim (at different times). He did extractions, gave me cortisone shots and microderm. My skin would clear up for MAYBE one week out of the month. About 4 months ago, I finally decided to go to a new dermatologist. I told him I didn't want to take any more oral medications, and that they didn't work in the past anyways. So, he prescribed Ziana and Aczone. My acne cleared up in 1 month!! I even stopped using Aczone 2 months ago, and have been using only Ziana (along with moisturizer and sunscreen). My skin is clear, and the scars are slowly fading. Ziana has made my life SO much easier. I'm finally clear!

In Canada, it's actually called Biacna. I'm a 18 years old girl with moderate/severe acne that wouldn't ever go away. I've tried benzyl peroxyde, accutane, clindamicin and salycilic acid, but nothing ever worked. I've been using it for a while now (at least 6 months) and, at first, I didn't see any results... but after 3 months did I see improvement. Now, I only get the occasional pimple, all my acne is gone. This treatment made wonders with my skin and is totally worth the wait.

I am 25 and about a year ago I had horrible acne that would not go away! Everywhere- chin, cheeks, forehead, even my nose! I used proactive and other benzoyl peroxide washes from drug stores, and that would not cut it. The acne left horrible blemishes/scars too. When I saw my dermatologist and she prescribed me Ziana Gel, it immediately started working! The texture of my skin completely changed and was smoother and smoother with every time I applied it. It took about 3 months for all my acne (AND SCARS!) to completely go away. My face does not have one bump on it now and no scars show! Would definitely recommend this!

Ive had moderate-severe acne for several years and had used a variety of benzol peroxide products before trying Ziana. I was able to get it for free due to a promotion and it works surprisingly well. Its been about 1.5 months and my acne has significantly cleared up. I still have some light acne and plan to continue using it until it is all gone. Its not a miracle drug so give it time and be sure to wash your face before application but Ziana really does work.

I have had acne for about five years. My acne started to get really bad (hurt to touch anywhere on my face)about a year ago, so I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed this. It got better immediately. Now, a year later my skin keeps getting clearer and clearer every month!

It's helped a lot with my acne. I tried EVERYTHING (and I'm only 15). But I'm also using about 4 different things to keep my skin clear and I think my skin is becoming dependent on all these things... not good considering I use very expensive stuff and we go through tough times quite a bit here. It works in about a week, and keeps it clear with multiple uses throughout the day when I'm home and once at night. I recommend for anyone who can afford it/has insurance. GREAT PRODUCT.

My dream prescription. I had given up on topical and oral treatments and was on the verge of coming to terms with my adult acne. Paid a visit to the derm and he suggested Ziana based on my age (29), type of acne (hormonal), and skin (bi-racial). I have been using this once a day, after cleansing at night with Glytone - which I also swear by for those adults who want to combat acne and aging skin - along with Doxicyclone, an oral antibiotic that treats bacterial infections from the inside out. This three-step ritual has been my saving grace. I noticed results immediately. The gel worked to clear up the surface of my skin and the oral medication helps future breakouts by treating bacteria internally. For those that have had acne for years as I have, you know that bacteria is the root of all pimples and both the Ziana and the Doxi have cleared up my skin in a matter of weeks. The cons I listed are worth it because the dryness doesn't last once your PH levels balance out. And the tube is huge! You only need a pea sized amount - the gel spreads easily and is so effective that there is no need to slather on. Will continue to use until my derm stops prescribing. Worth it, worth it, worth it!

great product

I have a friend that is a Physician Assistant (PA) and she gave me 6 small tubes (2g) (1 tube last, for me, 5 or 6 days) of Ziana and so far it works. I get real bad acne flare ups every 4-6 years. The last outbreak was 2006, so I knew it was about time for another. I also am taking Doxy 100mg for 10 days. DAY- I wake, take doxy, wash with ceraVe, apply neutrogena rapid tone repair moisturizer w/SPF 30 ($19.99) helps reduce dark marks in as little as a week (really worked in 7 days). NIGHT- take Doxy, wash w/ceraVe, apply ceraVe moisturizing lotion FIRST, then squeeze a pea size amount of Ziana on the tip of my finger, dab it all over my face, rub in gently. If you start to notice that your skin is dry and flaky mix 1 tsp of sugar and 2 pumps of ceraVe face wash (you want the mix to be paste like) and wash normally, it removes the flakes and makes your skin tone a little brighter, BUT only do it at the most 2x/week, to much can irritate our acne prone skin. Its only been 2.5 weeks, but my face is smoother and my boyfriend says my skin looks better and I need to stop picking and squeezing the pimples. After I am done with the Ziana my PA friend wants me to use the samples of Retin-A micro. FEW THINGS to REMEMBER: DON'T get your eyebrows waxed while using any Rx topical acne medicine (your skin is real thin and the wax causes irritation, (learned that the hard way), DON'T pick, leaves dark marks and cause more bumps and spots. I know I shouldn't pick, but I can't help it), DON'T expect fast results, my face started breaking out June and its almost Nov. and it is just getting smoother, its not clear yet, soon I hope it will be. I have noticed that when I cut back on sugar, breads and dairy my face does not break out as much and i lose a little weight. YOUR FACE WILL GET WORST B4 IT GETS BETTER (it may be 1 bump or an outbreak, but it will happen). TO MY FELLOW ACNE SUFFERS, HOLD your HEAD HIGH and SMILE, WALK TALL and PROUD. DONT be SHY or ASHAMED of YOUR ACNE!!!!
