Pros:

Made my skin quite smooth.

Cons:

Dries out the skin.
If I do not moisturize, skin becomes flaky and red.
I have been using ziana gel since 1 month but dont have any noticeable improvement in my acne.

Its okay but not great.

Pros:

Makes skin smoother- all the little bumps have been going away

Cons:

I have only been using it for 2 1/2 weeks and I hope my case is that it gets worse before it gets better- becuase it's def. got worse. My face wasn't that bad and its made it 10x worse, I'm hoping its just drawing everything out.

Very frustrated and would like to switch creams.

Pros:

seems to clear up my acne for a short time

Cons:

after a day or two of my face looking clear, i will begin to break out with 1 or 2 pimples.

i have been on this product for only 3 weeks so i am trying to give it a fair shot. i read that your skin may become worse before it gets better and im really hoping that is the case. i am beyond frustrated and upset with products that dont work. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know im desperate and getting depressed.

Pros:

It didn't cause me to break out in hives and I noticed no adverse reactions in about 3 weeks of using it.

Cons:

There was a slight drying of skin and a strange odor which left my pillow smelling like the medicine. In the morning, I noticed bits of what looked like dead skin on my face. Not sure what that was!

Don't use a lot of this product if your skin is sensitive! Do the recommended dose or your skin will probably dry out as much as these other people state. I did one limabean-sized (bigger than a pea-size I know) for the "4-dot-areas" on my face, a pea-sized dot for my neck, and then a pea-sized dot for each shoulder and I never suffered extensive peeling or drying. In fact, I'm pretty sure the possible side-effects list the drying, severe redness, and peeling to be a sign to STOP using this product. If you follow the directions on the package (i.e. washing your face before application, waiting until your face is completely dry before applying, and then using the recommended amount) then you will probably use this product with no problems. I used it for a combined 3 weeks before I was told to stop and try something else based on an allergic reaction I had to Minocycline. This stuff was expensive even with good insurance but my doctor gave me a $30 rebate so I was happy

Pros:

Worked initially.

Cons:

Stopped working after a week. Make skin red and dry.

The first time i used this i was amazed with the results. My active pimples were almost completely dried up by the next morning. Unfortunately, it stopped working for me after a week. It also made my skin very red (I have fair skin).

Pros:

Not as drying as some topicals

Doesn't work, very expensive

Didnt notice any difference at all and it was over $300 dollar without insurance. Now Im stuck with a half used tube of worthless clear gel.

Pros:

To early to tell

Cons:

Very EXSPENSIVE!!! Skin is incredibly oily.

Today make on week and so far no dramatic results. In the past Duac and Tretinoin worked wonders but I am seeing a derm and prescribed ziana first. So, well shall see and I will keep you posted.

Pros:

Reduced blemish size
Reduced redness
Worked fast

Cons:

Made skin extremely dry
Smells bad
Gave me a chemical burn( my fault)
Not gentile at all

For a prescription acne medication I feel it falls under par due to it's side effects. It makes the skin flaky and doesn't look good at all. Being a guy I don't wear coverup or anything so it looks just as bad as the zits. Made my face really red too for some reason. Try something else before using this, something gentler.
