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:

Lasts a long time.

Cons:

Did not clear up my skin after months of use, saw virtually no change in my acne. Very expensive if you don't get some sort of discount.

Did not work for me.

Pros:

Actually helps

Cons:

Oily skin
Smells like oil

I used ziana gel for almost a year and a half an I still use it. My skin has really improved even though I still have acne. The main reason I started to use ziana gel was because I had so much acne on my forehead an now I have nothing there. I suggest not putting it on not affected areas. If you put it on your cheeks and nose, it will bring up new acne. My nose is now the most affected area and then there is just one cheek which is affected. I also suggest using a cleanser such as neutrogena oil free acne was, the cream one.

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 :)

Pros:

Cleared my blackheads on my forehead consistently

Cons:

Broke me out worse than i was when i started and i am already 3 months in.

Contributed to multiple, inflammed pimpled all over my face.

Supposed antibiotic in it does NOTHING to quell inflammation

Very drying (especially if used in combination with other products)

Not consistent at all as one day I'd be clearing up and the next day I'd be broken out again.

Never stopped new pimples from popping up. Three months in and i still get 2-3 new pimples EVERYDAY.

This was work for some people but in my experience, it didn't work for me. My acne was mild to start with and i ended up getting multiple inflamed pimples that don't have pus, are red and show up on known breakout areas (chin) but also unknown areas (such as cheeks which are normally clear). Very disappointed in the time and effort i was on this product.

Pros:

cleared almost ALL blackheads
worked quickly and very well at first

Cons:

extremely dry/sun sensitive skin
if you quit using it, face breaks out much worse

It worked well for about 3 weeks and then almost overnight my face dried out so badly I couldnt even put lotion on to help because it hurt so badly. I tried the nurses advice and started skipping a day in between using the gel, but my face was broken out so badly I couldnt get it back under control without it drying my skin and causing extreme peeling.

Pros:

-worked lightly.
-Despite being a gel, was not fast absorbing.
-A LOT was in the tube!!
-was non-drying.

Cons:

-Did very little about my acne.

I have been using the Ziana gel for 5 months, mostly just to finish up the tube, it has SO MUCH in it!! But it did nothing, honestly. It's gentle and non-drying, but I'd rather have something abrasive that gets the job done that I might have to pack on the lotion for. Overall, did nothing for my acne even after long-term usage.

Pros:

none

Cons:

I used the product for less than a week. I used it exactly as directed -- a tiny pea sized amount once a day. Instead of improvement, I broke out in the worst rash. My entire face broke out!! Every inch of my face is in painful sores.

Of course I immediately using the product, but this happened on the weekend so I have to wait until morning to call the doc. Luckily, I hadn't purchased the product. She gave me a tiny sample tube, which I didn't get half way through. I wish I read this site before using the product.

Pros:

Has greatly improved the size of pimples, not gotten any of the cyst-like size bumps since starting 30 days ago; appearance of skin after a couple of weeks was much smoother and was softer

Cons:

Noted that red marks (healing scars?) stood out immediately and required cover with make-up, got fine rash-like bumps around hairline and on side of face near ear right away that took about 10 days to clear; at about 3 weeks, flaky dry patches

Am 43 and began experiencing cyst-like acne mid cycle about a year ago, nearly always to the lower left or right of nose, midcheek or chin ; when suggested a hormonal connection to derm, he put me on ziana gel and spironolactone (already taking tetracycline), cyst-like pimples did not present at mid-cycle but more manageable tiny zits did ; am very pleased after 30 days
