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

I want something that gets rid of my acne ALL of the time, not just half of the time. This clears my face up for a bit, but my skin is incredibly oily, and I still get breakouts. It just replaced one type of acne with a new one... After giving it a try for about 3-4 months, Ziana isn't cutting it. I'm going to the derm tomorrow for a switch.

This is the worst product I have ever used. Even my dermatologist switched me immediately on my one month evaluation.

I used Ziana for a month. I remember at one point touching my face and being completely shocked by the amount of oil that appeared on my fingers. My skin has always been a bit dry, but this cream made my face practically ooze oil. Worse yet, my acne did not decrease (or increase). I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with oily skin or severe acne. I can't remember if it purged my skin, but my dermatologist warned me that it would.

I went to the dermatologist for a spot on my face that he says is pre cancerous. so they used liquid nitrogen to freeze it. then i had two other blocked up pours that had to be basically seared with a hot poker. ok no problem. i was given two samples of Ziana to use as well. i dont have acne but i do get zits from time to time and i have large pores on my nose and above my cheeks an on my chin. the dr said that zina would help with the pores and i thought he said it would help to expose any other pre cancerous spots. so i began using the samples as directed. within 3 days i looked like a burn victim! a cyst formed on one side, huge red peeling spots around my mouth and the whole right side of my face peeled like a snake. it burned , part of it cracked and bled whenever i would eat. and i got huge swollen zits breaking out. i was so embarassed i didnt want to go to work. so i stopped Ziana and started using Polysporin to try and heal my face and nose, oh yea break outs on my nose too. It looks so bad that someone accused me of using Meth!! said my face is rotting off! The pharmacy called to see if i was going to pick up the script that was called in $472! i was given a discount card and its only going cost me $25 but i wouldnt want it for free. so 4 days of polysporin and cetaphyl and it almost back to normal but wow. definately not for me.

it doesn't work,evry night I'd "feather" it on and in the mornings wash off and I did so for about a year!

ok, a little better than over the counter skin care

awesome product can't wait for the long run after trying product longer!!

I am really scared to use this medication again. At the best point of the treatment- which took a few months to get to- I was completely clear in the lower face/hormonal region. When I look at pictures of myself when I was using it I am impressed, but toward the end I started to break out again- which frustrated me and I quit using it because of the other side-effects (bad-textured skin, irritation after sun-exposure, etc.). After I quit using it my acne came back worse than I had ever had it in my life! I'm thinking some kind of resistance developed while I was using it and then they (the bacteria) just went wild after I quit using it completely. I have read that if you use benzoyl peroxide at the same time it will prevent resistance, so if I were to use it again I would do the ziana at night and benzoyl peroxide in the morning- the benz perox would also help with the peeling. It's worth giving it a try overall- it does work well on hormonal acne.

This is kind of expensive, but works. I had been getting huge cysts around my period plus the occasional breakout. My skin is clear now but it seems to enlarge my pores.

IT TAKES 4 EVER to work if your acne is bad
