Pros:

None yet, other than the fact that where I dont and never have had acne, blemishes or cyst my face appears more youthful. Being in my late 20's that counts since im starting to get very very fine lines.

Cons:

I have been using the product for about three weeks and I have been getting more cystic type acne with the yellow green puss on top, which really grosses me out. My face literally hurts. I get constant critisism from people with perfect skin.

I am still hopeful that this medication will work. I will be getting married next year and it would really be horrible if I still had acne. I never had acne until about 3 years ago and progresively has got worst. I am taking a combination of Doryx and Zyana. I hope this does work. I unlike many of the reviews I have read don't get dry skin or redness. My only negative symptom are more breakouts, which is what Im trying to get rid of. My face has never looked worst in. I would normally just get cyst close to my mestual cycle whereas now I get a new cyst with puss almost daily. I wash my face three times daily since the medication makes my face oily in the areas where I dont have acne. My Doctor has given me high hopes with this medication as he previosly prescribed tazorac and benzaclyn which where terribly harsh on my skin and was highly allergic to them.

Pros:

Great product, worked for in about 2 1/2 weeks, acne and my oily uneven skin is gone.

Cons:

no cons really, i paid fifteen dollars for a big tube that lasts you forever if you just use a pea size

bottom line is if you has moderate or lightly serve ance like i did you need to get this gel, it works fabulous on my skin !

Pros:

COMPLETELY clear skin

Cons:

Expensive without insurance

I have gone through numberous acne creams over the past few years and most of them either didnt work, or left me with extremely dry/sensitive skin. Ziana Gel completely cleared up my skin and because it was a gel, did not irritate my skin or dry it out. Unfortunately, I had to switch insurance companies and because this medicine is so new, my insurance did not cover it and it would have costed $130.00 so I had to stop using it.

Pros:

face feels smooth, soft and somewhat healthier

Cons:

some dry areas around the nose. I've been on it for two weeks now and I'm not seeing the overall positive results as anticipated at this point. acne seems to be somewhat better.

will keep using to monitor results.

July 16, 2007

Pros:

Clears existing acne....only have to use at bedtime....dont have to take an antibiotic orally

Cons:

I developed some bigger "bumps" that never came to a head...they took long to go away....the product also made the side of my chin and eyelids itchy....

I have been using this product for almost a month and I am still waiting to see better results.....I have read all over that it takes at least 6 weeks to see overall benefits.....I am a bit dry on my face and itchy but overall seems to be working........I am gonna stick it out longer to say for sure if this product works well

Pros:

inexpensive
corrects more issues than acne (fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, sun spots, etc)

Cons:

causes diarrhea
can make skin a little dry but just use moisturizer

AWESOME i am a staff carrier and i suffer from hidrenatitis (sp?) supportiva... tried solydne and ziana as combination... worked but minocylcine is hard on the body and gave memario chronic yeast infections. finally cultures showed the acne was laced with staph... i quit the solydne and started bactrim, twice a day... that cleared EVERYTHING up so i also quit the ziana... doc told me that ziana helps with other issues... sure enough my age spot and sun spot has faded...

Pros:

Made my skin quite smooth.

Cons:

Dries out the skin.
If I do not moisturize, skin becomes flaky and red.
I have been using ziana gel since 1 month but dont have any noticeable improvement in my acne.

Its okay but not great.
