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:

It was a free sample.

Cons:

Made my light acne worse.
Have pink under the skin bumps all over jawline now
I have MORE acne.

I've only been using for week, but my derm never warned me that it would make my light acne moderate/severe. I know I should be patient, but its heartbreaking to watch your self esteem fly out the window in a matter of days. Also leaves a pink/brown mark on old spots. Will probably fade, but I'm more concerned about the new bumps!!! The "it gets worse before it gets better" is not comforting at all.

Pros:

1. Doesn't sting
2. Doesn't smell
3. Doesn't irritate skin

Cons:

1. EXPENSIVE after the first 3 discounted tubes

I have been using Ziana gel for about 3 months now. Its hard to tell how much this product has improved my acne. This year has been the first year that I have had BAD acne, everywhere! I started to breakout on my chest, arms, and lower back. I had never had a problem with my skin before. I learned that I was under too much stress, I wasn't getting enough vitamins and I was often dehydrated, all causes of acne. I can tell that the improvements that I have made have significantly helped, now I'm just waiting for the marks on my skin to go away. I'm not sure if I can continue to use Ziana gel as money is tight right now, I don't have insurance, and I've already gotten 3 discounted tubes of Ziana gel :(

Pros:

Didn't make my skin any worst.

Cons:

GREASY GREASY SKIN.. Skin Wasn't ever consistently clear. Didn't help with hormonal acne.

it didnt work well enough for me to handle the oily skin. It was just as annoying as keeping up with acne itself

Pros:

Affordable, Easy Routine

Cons:

Does not clear Acne

Didn't work for me, I have used in small pea size amount and bigger size amount (noticed it worked somewhat better the less you use) I have been VERY patient as I have used this product for 2 1/2 months and It's basically an on and off thing with ziana. I get clear great looking skin for a week in exchange for 2 or 3 weeks of bad red pimples. Not worth it. I'm going back to the dermatologist in a week, hopefully I'll be put on accutane, this has been my 6th topical treatment and I've had enough!

Pros:

Rebate card made it affordable.

Cons:

drying, made my face break out worse than before i even went to the dermatologist

Help! I starting taking Ziana about 4 weeks ago. At first, I didnt notice any change at all and now this week all of a sudden my face has been overrun by large cystic acne! Im so embarrassed and depressed and Im tempted to stop taking Ziana--Ill just live with what my skin looked like beforehand! How true is it that your skin gets worse before it gets better and how long is that supposed to last?? I havent even noticed this medication making a difference on blackheads. Will my skin get worse if I just stop cold turkey?!!

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:

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:

Brings down inflammation

Cons:

Leaves behind extremely stubborn pigmentation all over your face, expensive even with insurance

I was happy with Ziana when I first started using it. But now I have spots left all over my face where I used the product to clear my skin. The pimples went down, but now they're all under the skin. The spots left behind are brown and only on one side of my face and don't respond to salicylic acid face wash. Don't buy this, try something else.
