Pros:

Easy to apply, one tube lasts awhile, slight clearing, two medicines in one,nightly application

Cons:

Irritates skin (no peeling, but some redness occurs)

This medication works decent, but its nothing great. Try it and see if it works better for you.

Pros:

Makes skin smoother- all the little bumps have been going away

Cons:

I have only been using it for 2 1/2 weeks and I hope my case is that it gets worse before it gets better- becuase it's def. got worse. My face wasn't that bad and its made it 10x worse, I'm hoping its just drawing everything out.

Very frustrated and would like to switch creams.

Pros:

SEE RESULTS QUICKLY
MY DOCTOR GAVE ME A CARD TO ACTIVATE & USE AS A SECOND INS. AND IT ONLY COST ME $ 25.00

Cons:

DRYS SKIN JUST A LITTLE

I'm 43 years old and I have to take medicine ..... one of the side effects is acne. I had to go see a dermatologist. He put me on Solodyn for 6 weeks and I went back to see him. I seen a big improvement. At this point , he gave me another precripition of Solodyn and Ziana. I starting applying the Ziana right away and I have seen a difference in just a week. It's been 1 month and the brusing (from squeezing) are fading away each day. MY face is almost back to normal and I'm very happy !!!!! I encourage you to use this medication it works wonders and I hope my testimony can help others.

Pros:

Cleared up all my acne on my forehead and doesnt turn my skin red. Keeps acne away and clears up scars :)

Cons:

Takes about 1 month to see results and makes your acne break out alot more/faster within that first month of using it. You just kinda gotta suck it up and take it cause the results are great

I would recommend it to anyone who has a acne problem, quite affordable also

Pros:

It really works!

Cons:

Shockingly expensive for those of us without prescription drug insurance!

It worked! At first, as many others have said, skin did get worse. It took a few weeks of it looking awful before face started to clear up. But, now it looks terrific! I am thrilled with results. However, I have to stress that this medicine is not for those without drug coverage. I paid $305.00 at CVS for the large tube. No, that is not a misprint. I actually paid $305.00 for a tube of acne medicine!!! Bottom line: it does seem to work, but if you don't have coverage, ask your derm for some cheaper alternatives. This drug does not come in generic, but there ARE other alternatives that do.

Pros:

seems to clear up my acne for a short time

Cons:

after a day or two of my face looking clear, i will begin to break out with 1 or 2 pimples.

i have been on this product for only 3 weeks so i am trying to give it a fair shot. i read that your skin may become worse before it gets better and im really hoping that is the case. i am beyond frustrated and upset with products that dont work. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know im desperate and getting depressed.

Pros:

My doctor said it is great for anti-aging...

Cons:

Dsoes not really dry, remains sticky on skin after applying which I noticed no one said but that bothers me because it gets all over my pillow when applied at night...and in the morning it cannot be used at all in my opinion b/c it remains sticky.

It may work for some people, it's worth trying if you have severe acne. If you have the occasional pimple...? I am not sure. My doctor did tell me he likes it for anti-aging also and recommended I put it all over my face, including by my eyes...although I will say it will dry your skin out and leave it red...when that happens, I think it helps to discontinue for a day or so to help with the dryness/redness.

Pros:

Doesn't take much to do the job and doesn't smell or leave residue.

Cons:

Pricey if you don't have insurance. Dry skin!

This is a great product to use. I already have sensitive skin so I was expecting dryness. At first I tried to use more than the recommended amount. Don't do this!! It will make your skin very very dry. After my skin got used to it, with some moisturizer I was fine. Took about a week but am seeing a difference now. My skin when it does break out they clear up very fast and the marks are more minimal now. Definitely takes some time to see a major difference though. Worth it to wait it out. I am on this with doxycycline.
