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:

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:

non

Cons:

greasy, ineffective

i don't know what type of acne ziana is targeted for, but my dermatologist prescribed it to me for the moderate cystic acne on my chin and cheeks. i used it consistently for for about three months and saw literally no improvement. it is also unbelievably expensive for a non-antibiotic topical (about 75.00 per tube, with my insurance).

Pros:

Simple application
Cheap

Cons:

Irritating
Drying/scaling
Extream purging
Not effective

I had used this because my previous prescriptions weren't working as well as normal, so I visted my derm and she recommended I try Ziana. The resultes were devestating, I went in for very, very mild acne, and traded it for a case moderate acne covering my entire face. It was not only frustrating, but both physically and emotionaly painful. I couldn't sleep on my side, smile, eat, talk, sneeze or even laugh without being reminded of my acne, the constant trobbing even disrupted my sleep. Finally I did find something that worked, a combonation of Tazorac gel and Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, my face has much improved, and I will never take my skin for granted again.
