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:

None

Cons:

Ziana made my face worse. My face peeled so bad that even make up couldn't cover it up...it made it look worse! I looked like a freak and couldn't even cover it up!!!

Ziana didn't work, it made me just look like a huge peeled zit! And I couldn't hide it either since my face was peeling so bad. The cost was around $500 but my derm. gave me a coupon so I ended up paying $25.00. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody!

Pros:

Cons:

It is horrible! It only made my acne worse and caused huge pimples to form. It also dried, burned, and discolored my skin and made it painful to the touch. When I tried to combat the dryness with lotion it only burned worse.

Do not use this if you have sensitive skin or if you enjoy a pain free day. If you want to see real results ask your doctor for something else. ZIANA DOES NOT WORK.

Pros:

none!!

Cons:

I hate this stuff, it made my face super oily and made my acne 10 million times worse!! Waste of money, I wouldn't have payed a penny for this stuff if I knew what it was going to do to me.

Good for you people that it worked on, but in my case it didn't!!! I went through about 5 weeks of "just keep useing it" from my derm. The sad part is I was excited to use this crap. Ugh, my acne was the worse i've ever seen it. I didn't want to leave the house and cried when I looked in the mirror. And if it would ever work... who wants to wait 12 freaking weeks?! Not me. I'm not saying don't try it, but it didn't work for me. Who knows, it may work for you but you never know if you don't try. But, if your acne worsens and doesn't get better for about hmmm 2 or 3 weeks pitch it and go to the derm to switch! I switched and my acne is almost clear in about a week thanks to finacea :). That is my "it" cream. Don't give up on finding yours. It's out there, trust me!

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Worst topical gel I ever used. I had mild acne before I used this, and it ruined my skin. I still have scars from all the breakouts it's caused me, and it's been two years since I've used it.

DO NOT USE.

Dries out skin. Made acne worse.

My derm said this was the best prescription out there. I got it in the beginning of July and now it's September and it probably has made my acne worse. And we already had picture day.
