Pros:

Very little side effects and little odor

Cons:

Expensive even with insurance.

Do not expect to see anything in the short term. I have been using it for two weeks combined with morning klaron gel and minocycline and the situation has gotten MUCH worse. Does anyone have any idea how long it should take to see results?

Pros:

Does not burn like Tretinoin Gel/Retin-A Gel.

Cons:

Did not calm down the cystic acne. Not as effective as Tretinoin. Very expensive--my health plan didn't cover it all that much so I paid $112.75 for a tube.

Not worth it, except if you have mild acne. Not good for cystic acne.

Pros:

Cleared me up pretty good for while.

Cons:

After about 3 mths my face starting breaking out again didnt seem to work anymore like my skin developed a resistance to it.

Works okay at first may cause redness feels like you have sinus problems right after you put it on.After a while skin can develop a resistance to the medicine and you may start to break out again.

Pros:

Once-a-day application.

Cons:

High price ($50+ copay per tube, w/list price of $250+)
Causes acne to worsen initially (was warned about this by derm)
Takes 6 weeks to see improvement (according to derm)

This product DID NOT work for me. In fact, it made my mild to moderate acne much worse. When I start using Ziana, I would say my acne was about a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. After 6 weeks, I'd have to say it's now a 7 or 8. I expected some degree of initial breakout, but after seeing my acne get so much worse during treatment, I now have to try to clear new lesions. To add insult to injury, this product also has made my skin severely oily -- to the point where it is making my hair oily by the end of the day. Definitely NOT recommended.

Pros:

it's light weight not harsh

Cons:

havent seen much difference

I have been using this for a month now, I have mild acne. I havent seen much improvement I still have massive bumps all over my face. My doctor says to stick with it so I'm trying to be optimistic. I have tryed diffren before and that seemed to work better (only problem with diffren it worked for a month then stopped working all together) I'm going to stick with it till I run out but if I dont see any improvement within a month I dont think I will use this product anymore

Not impressed.... Depressed.

Pros:

A lot of product in tube
free with rebate

Cons:

smells like yeast
makes skin greasy
did not help my acne

After failing many other acne treatments, including topicals and medications, my derm gave me this to try. When I first applied it, it smelled like yeast and felt overly greasy on my face. I told myself that I will give it a shot. I used for about a month and a half and saw absolutely no results. I have moderately severe cystic acne and this did nothing to help my acne while I was using it. It might have even caused my breakouts to get worse (but whose to say I wasn't just having a break out or the deep rooted stuff was coming up). I saw no results what so ever with the product and felt like I was handle over a tube or grease and for that reason, I gave this product one star.

Pros:

Helped to clear the acne on my back.

Cons:

Worsened the acne on my chest X10
Didn't help much with the acne on my face
Purging Period

I washed with 10% Panoxyl and used Ziana. The acne on my chest became sooooo much worse. It didn't do much to my face, it may have helped with my back, but I think that was mainly due to the Panoxyl. Combine with Panoxyl it was very drying, left my chest itchy, red and dry.

Pros:

smaller pores
Skin isn't so oily
Softer skin
Almost no acne

Cons:

skin is peeling and extremely tender

I'm 27 and ever since my hysterectomy 9 months ago my skin started breaking out like crazy. I've been using this gel for about a month. At first it seemed as if my skin got worse but this past week it just completely cleared up. The only downside to the product in my opinion is that it made my face sensitive to everything. Any type of moisturizer I use burns like crazy. The peeling is slightly annoying but tolerable. I would definitely recommend this product :)
