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

I've been using this for about a month now. I have combination skin that gets really flaky around my nose/mouth but I haven't had any of that way Zinea! I had a tiny bit of purging in the end but other than that no real side effects. I used this with a Cerave cleanser and moisturizer and I'm having soft, smooth skin! My derm gave me a coupon so that the first tube was free and the next three tubes cost only $20. Such a good deal, especially because the tubes are GIANT.

I used this product years ago and had fantastic results. I had to stop using it after four months because I was pregnant. I just went back to the derm and asked for this again. I am only on day 5, but I wanted to review based on my present and past experience. I am currently experiencing extremely dry skin and lots of peeling, but this is a good thing! Layers of old dead skin are coming off and my skin is getting smoother and clearer by the day! Things WILL get worse before they get better with this product. Last time that I used this product I experienced the same peeling and dryness for about a month. I only use a tiny bit all over my face at night. After the peeling ended I used ziana every other night to maintain my clear skin. This time I am seeing results much more quickly as my pores already look much smaller and the purging is less severe :) I wash my face with cetaphil and I use my clairsonic brush or a washcloth. I see much better results using something that helps to remove that peeling skin! I also moisturize constantly. Give this product a chance! It can take more than a month to see results. The dry skin look with makeup is not a good one, but if you suffer through it you will thank yourself in the end!!!

GET it!!!

I am a 63 year old woman who has always taken great care of my skin. I have never had pimples. I noticed the pores on my nose and chin and forehead got much larger when I went through menopause. My dermatologist recommended Ziana. I use a small amount all over my face daily and have noticed a big change. My skin has a youthful and refined texture again and small lines have all but disappeared. My skin is firmer and has a youthful glow. I look years younger. This is a wonderful anti-aging drug!

Only use twice a week and I have clear skin. Althought the day after I use it my skin is dried out. Moisturizer is a must!

AWESOME i am a staff carrier and i suffer from hidrenatitis (sp?) supportiva... tried solydne and ziana as combination... worked but minocylcine is hard on the body and gave memario chronic yeast infections. finally cultures showed the acne was laced with staph... i quit the solydne and started bactrim, twice a day... that cleared EVERYTHING up so i also quit the ziana... doc told me that ziana helps with other issues... sure enough my age spot and sun spot has faded...

I cannot believe the difference in just one week. This product was prescribed to me with Solodyn also. I use a small amount at night. I did apply a spot treatment on a particularly bad cystic acne spot one morning & felt it really helped...what would take weeks to clear, cleared up in 4 days. I have hormonal acne at age 48. I had tried OTC remedies for the last 3 months with no success. I wish I had gone to the dermatologist right away. This product is wonderful.

You have to give it time to work! Don't write a review until you've been using it for 10 weeks, my face was a mess up until then. Although the bactrim may have contributed to my clearing, the ziana definitely made my skin purge and now I have no little bumps.

This medication takes the top layer (like Tazorac), but also delivers an antibaterial dose, so it's not as irritating. This is my favorite topical medication. I only use it at night.

I started getting acne after I stopped using birth control pills. In the matter of 2 months my hormonal acne quickly went from mild do moderately severe. I went to the dermatologist and I started using Ziana in December of 2010 and April 2011 my skin was completely clear with the exception of hyperpigmentation marks from precious acne. By May 2011 my skin was completely clear and hyperpigment-free. My regimen consisted of the following: -AM- Cerave cleanser & pat dry Duac gel all over face Murad skin perfecting lotion -PM- Cerave cleanser & pat dry Ziana gel all over face Cerave PM facial moisturizing lotion **I also had 2 chemical peels performed at my dermatologists office during the first 6 weeks of my treatment. These were TERRIBLE and made my skin much worse. My doctor then suggested I have a pulsed light/heat energy therapy treatment. I had two sessions of this and noticed great improvement after each one. **Occasionally I would use the Proactive refining mask as a spot treatment over night after my Cerave lotion if I had large pimple coming on. **Occasionally I would use CVS brand 10% benzoyl peroxide acne spot gel in the AM after my Murad lotion if I had a cluster of small pimples. I followed this regimen religiously for 5 months and my stubborn acne that I thought would never go away was finally gone. Also, even though it is not recommended my dermatologists, I think that being in the sun during the month of May really helped to fade my hyperpigmentation spots. I originally thought they only appeared faded because I got a sun tan but now that my tan has faded quite a bit it is obvious that the marks have indeed faded as well.
