Pros:

I had bacne for a long time now. I would tell anyone to use this for your back! My bacne is just about gone after 3 weeks! For my face, however, I apply it at night, and my face feels really oily, but I think it's slowly working

Cons:

Like I said, very oily and at night it sticks to my pillow, but after 3 weeks, it's slowly working. Just be patient and don't use it in the morning.

If you don't mind your skin being a little oily for a few hours, I guess you can try this. I would say you should use it at night rather than day. But like I said, I used it for my back, with epiduo in the morning, and I got amazing results! My face is still questionable, because I use ziana at night, and epiduo in the morning. But Everyone will get different results I guess. Good luck!

Pros:

Been using it for a month, skin is totally clear!

Cons:

Makes face a little oily, also seems to enlarge pores

This is kind of expensive, but works. I had been getting huge cysts around my period plus the occasional breakout. My skin is clear now but it seems to enlarge my pores.

IT TAKES 4 EVER to work if your acne is bad

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:

It helped my facial acne improve in about 3 weeks.

Cons:

Ziana was expensive and didn't work on my back or chest.

Only buy if acne is mild/severe.

Pros:

Helps clear up already existing pimples quickly and is easy to use.

Cons:

It is expensive, it didn't prevent my acne from forming and caused me to have break outs worse then before.

This product was really good for treating big, red and inflamed pimples. It reduced the swelling withing a few hours of applying it to the infected site. However it has really made my face break out since it doesn't seem to be preventing my break outs from occurring. I only applied it once a day like the doctor said and it caused itchy dry patches on my face (which I know is common with these acne topical treatments). In my opinion it isn't worth the money.

Pros:

Got the rebate card, cleared skin a bit. No itching, flaking, drying, or redness.

Cons:

Have not used it long enough, made me breakout, oily skin throughout the day, gel smells

I have not used ziana enough to really see the full results, I just hope that I am not using this for nothing. It has been exactly 5 weeks. I dont think I will judge it entirely until I have reached 8 weeks of treatment. I am using this at night with a benzoyl peroxide gel in the morning.

Pros:

It clears up the pimples and keeps them under control. It also lightened some of the scars from previous pimples.

Cons:

Price was extremely high with perscription, (also we switched insurance so it doesn't cover perscriptions, so i may only have had the price issue because of this. Not a lot of gel in the tube and takes a while to work.

Ziana gel, is a big step up from gels you can buy from CVS and Wallgreens without a perscription. It works fairly quickly, however in my case it works very well for the first few days, clearing everything up, and then it begins to work much much slower as my skin gets used to it. It lightens some scars left over by previous acne. The price was very high, almost as much as a pair of shoes so that was a little dissapointing, but I think had i not switched insurances and had prescription coverage it would have been more affordable.

Pros:

It's affordable and dries up the pimples.

Cons:

Made my skin darker, had a couple of dry spots, oh and did i mention made my skin darker??

I have been using ziana along with solodyn for about a month...and i can say that i've seen a lil improvement but not so much...it made my skin turn colors [[and i already have dark spots from previous acne]] and it made me get a couple of dry spots along with turn that same spot to a brownish color..anyway..i use the mild soap like the directions say..idk i am just tryna give it time to work maybe...when i use it at night it makes my skin more oily than it already is and i still get like one or two breakouts...i think i'm just give it mayb 2 more weeks and if it still doesn't work then i am gonna go back to the doctor.
