Pros:

It works fast. After only a week, my skin was clear. It didn't dry out my skin either which was nice.

Cons:

There really aren't any cons in my opinion.

It works fast, which is what everybody wants, and it really clears your skin from acne.

Pros:

gets rid of acne!

Cons:

red and peeling skin, pricey without insurance, if combined with other products may become really irritated

My dermatologist prescribed me this after countless acne products. My skin not only had acne but twice as much post-acne. The first month I had used it my skin broke out a lot. It also peeled my skin drastically, which was very embarrassing, even with moisturizer and makeup . A little while after that the post-acne marks started fading away and acne reoccurred less. After 3-4 months all my acne was almost gone and less came. I highly recommend this product even after the bad side effects.

Pros:

Works very fast, decent smell

Cons:

I found it took a while to work. Very expensive without insurance.

At first it made my acne 100x worse, but after the first inital week it started to subside. Week two my skin started to actually clear up. I'm on week 3 now and my acne is starting to look worse again. I dried out a little but I'm getting used to it. Hopefully by next week it'll kick into high gear.

Pros:

none really

Cons:

started to clear up after a week or 2 for about a week then took a turn for the worst...hasnt cleared up at all since, only gotten worse

ive been on this for 3 1/2 months. .and my face has only worsened since i started it. and the worst part of it all is im getting married in 5 months--and i was told this would for sure work. so im bummed. :( hoping something else might work....maybe benzamycin?? not too mention i had to pay out of pocket because i have a high deductible and it was $275.00 for me. too much for it not to work. cause if it did work id pay it in a heart beat

So happy!

Pros:

Cleared acne
side effects go away

Cons:

Made my skin flaky
My skin is still red

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!

Ziana Gel works slowly

Pros:

Very easy to use
Eventual noticeable effect
Spreads easily

Cons:

Sticky
Oily skin
Slow progress

In stark contrast to some of these reviews - I'm neither negatively or positive shocked by this product. It hasn't been a miracle drug by any measure, as it's taken a near eternity to make a noticeable difference in my skin. I would say it took about 3 months (in conjunction with Solodyn) for breakouts to subside dramatically. If you are suffering with little, non-painful bumps, Ziana will not help. The product is generally not prescribed for spot treatment and is typically applied to the entire face, so the medication can spread under the skin and prevent surface breakouts. I'm wholly unsure whether this is effective against painful cystic acne, but I have noticed that it tends to lessen its severity a bit. Strangely enough, my skin seems to be developing worse hyper pigmentation in my course of Ziana. Use at your own discretion.

Pros:

Cleared up most acne

Cons:

left my face extremely oily when i woke up
made acne worse for about 3 weeks before getting better

i was prescribed ziana by my dermatologist and overall, i think it has worked great. it got rid of ALL of the acne on my chest and back and MOST of the acne on my face. the only thing i dont really like is that i never used to get acne on my checks and chin, and thats where i feel like i am getting most of my acne now. Also, i never used to have an oily face, but now i have to blot 5 or 6 times a day. overall though, it has worked extremely well with my acne and i would recommend it to anyone struggling with acne.
