Ziana : Clindamycin (1.2%) and Tretinoin (.025%) Gel

I was originally prescribed Adoxa and Ziana together. I hate swallowing pills so Adoxa didnt work out for me but I continued to just use Ziana. Bottom line is that this product is a miracle worker! I never had an initial bad breakout. Ive had this stubborn moderate acne for years...especially on my chin. This product made the most persisant acne disappear. Im hoping with time some of the scaring will go down, but I can actually go out without make up now! AMAZING...girls you know how annoying it is to spend 20 mins applying makeup just to conceal all of your blemishes..and constantly looking in the mirror throughout the day to check on your makeup coverage. This product has taken away the stress of having acne. You have to try it for atleast 2 months. At about 7 weeks my skin was CLEAR. I get an occasion break out now and again, but it's tiny and doesn't bother me at all. People are even noticing how glowing my skin is now.The only downside is that even if you use a little of this product it still dries the skin. Ive even had dry eyelids...pretty weird. Just get some Eucerin Hand Cream and dab a little bit onto the dry part of your face and it will keep your skin hydrated all day. It hasn't cloged my pores either or caused more breakouts. Go get Ziana, totally happy I use this product. If you have body acne, dont forget to put ziana on it at night also.

It worked, I got this prescribed after a 2 month regimen of antibiotics and Aczone that left my skin a bit dry and confused looking (dry and scaly in some spots, red and sensitive in others, with residual acne fighting to stay put). I told my derm I noticed more whiteheads during my initial treatment which I barely ever had before treatment and she said this would help remove these and reduce acne scarring from the flares before and during my treatment. (had 2 major flares) I also decided to ween off the antibiotics and stop using much of the aczone unless absolutely necessary for returning acne, but and as soon as I introduced this my skin flaked slightly, though in a few days I noticed my skin "breathed" better and it felt like a layer of the dry damaged skin had been lifted. It just felt more sensitive to the air, and pores felt open and clean. I looked up reviews and saw all sort of reactions listed, yet mine seemed to clean up my skin from a lot of left over junk and dryness from the treatment. Now 4 months later I use this every other day and I think it's helped keep my skin clear. My skin is amazing now and my scars have cleared up significantly. I am naturally tan/olive and scarred very easily, this has evened my skin out. The tube also lasts so long, since you apply very little of it to work. Also my skin has adjusted to it, it's no longer sensitive as it was at first. A quick tip, do make sure you add moisturizer to you regimen (I use a generic drug-store brand without oil or scent and it works fantastic and dries up clean in no time) The combo is perfect to keep my skin glowy (and it does make it glowy) Side perk I hear this is prescribed for wrinkles as well, I am in my early 30s and don't have many but if this helps stave these off as well as keep it acne free- hey!)

After my face was ruined by proactive, my damatg. prescribed ziana. it has been two months and i already seen a great difference.my complextion is glowing and my face looks healthier. I use neutrogena (pore refining cleanser and toner followed by moisturizer) during the day and ziana at nights. great results!!

I tried isolaz and it didnt really work.That Doctor said I would benefit from a retinol. My derm said isolaz is just a temporary fix and retinol is best bet(ziana).Once purging is done it will work all the time and is recommended for use all the time..I'm on week 6 now and it is slowly starting to work..SKIN DOES ADJUST Heres how i managed Week1-3 apply 2-3x oily skin but no new acne Week 4 Apply 5x M-F bad purging week 5 Apply M-F clearing up fast week 6 Apply M-F bad purging (again) I here after this I'm in the clear. I've read it gets bad then good then bad then slowly your in the clear. I can feel it working. this is he only way to do it and probably the best way tips: moisture after morning wash, apply ziana at night(very little) DO NOT USE WITH SALYCIC ACID WASH. Facial scrub 2x a week, and anti-inflamatory shampoo daily(head and shoulders) Good luck! be patient

My face is clearing up. It takes awhile before you see results. I think I was up to week 6 before I finally started noticing results. I was frustrated up to the point where I was going to switch derms but hang in there it does work.

One large tube is the cost of two previous meds & four times the use. Finally, 5 months...my skin is smoother, tighter and if I do have that occassional breakout, it clears within a few days. Pitfall ~ I tend to have a dry throat/cough since started use; keep hydrated. I had noticable reddening & pithy look with previous meds ~ Now I get compliments!

I am on a great combination of stuff. I am taking ortho tri-cyclin ( which treats hormonal acne problems), Aczone in the AM, and Ziana in the evenings. I feel like the Ziana is having the greatest affect because there is visible difference in my acne from the time I go to sleep at night to when I wake up for work in the morning. My doc would also like me to take Solodyn, but I had an issue getting the prescription..they want to charge $400. My one problem is with the company Medicis in itself. They give out this three month discount card, which makes both prescriptions a combined $30 a month but once that runs out, these two drugs (Ziana and Solodyn) retail for about $500 each per month and my blue cross isn't wanting to accept it. Basically, if you can get the medications inexpensively, DO IT. Good stuff. I am seeing results after a week, even though in their trials there was only a 21% success rate (meaning 21% of the patients were TOTALLY cleared). I guess I would go into that group.

I really like Ziana gel. I get acne all over my body, not just on my face, so I can use this product without worrying about my clothes becoming discolored. I use it with Zaclir body wash, so my skin is always a little dry, but over all, I'm very pleased with this. It takes a while to work, but the results are worth it.

only need a pea drop size which makes the inicial purchase worth the money

During my high school years I had a minimal amount of back acne but remedied it with Neutrogena Body Clear scrub & loofah. Anyway, it went away til now. I'm a picker (not a good thing to admit on a acne website) lol but the sun and my picking made the bumps worse and left white spots.ugh It made me self conscious to wear tanks so I went to the derm for 1st time and she recommended Ziana. I have been religliously using the stuff for 8 days now but have not noticed any difference yet. No side effects and it hasn't gotten any worse so I'll keep at it!
