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

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!

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.

Great, cheap effective, just stay on top of it

I've only used this for about 3 weeks, but it seems I see improvement. I feel the price of the medicine is very well worth the $. I heartily recomend this gel.

I started battling with moderate to severe adult acne about 4 years ago. Out of nowhere, my skin just broke out everywhere. It was that painful cystic acne, along with clogged pores EVERYWHERE. In a panic, I went online and read about all types of treatments and success stories. I tried a new regimen every few months and gave every new option a real chance to work. I tried BP, chemical peels, and retinol. My first dermatologist prescribed me spironolactone, minocyclin, and bactrim (at different times). He did extractions, gave me cortisone shots and microderm. My skin would clear up for MAYBE one week out of the month. About 4 months ago, I finally decided to go to a new dermatologist. I told him I didn't want to take any more oral medications, and that they didn't work in the past anyways. So, he prescribed Ziana and Aczone. My acne cleared up in 1 month!! I even stopped using Aczone 2 months ago, and have been using only Ziana (along with moisturizer and sunscreen). My skin is clear, and the scars are slowly fading. Ziana has made my life SO much easier. I'm finally clear!

I am 25 and about a year ago I had horrible acne that would not go away! Everywhere- chin, cheeks, forehead, even my nose! I used proactive and other benzoyl peroxide washes from drug stores, and that would not cut it. The acne left horrible blemishes/scars too. When I saw my dermatologist and she prescribed me Ziana Gel, it immediately started working! The texture of my skin completely changed and was smoother and smoother with every time I applied it. It took about 3 months for all my acne (AND SCARS!) to completely go away. My face does not have one bump on it now and no scars show! Would definitely recommend this!

I've only been using Ziana for about 2 weeks and so far I got good results, at first I used a moisturizer from the Olay brand and than I switch up and started using products from the Cerave line they have a great AM and PM lotion that works great with the Ziana and I also use the Cerave face wash it't great. I use Duac gel in the morning and the Ziana at night and everything works well together. I have a great dermotologist. Bottom line If you are having mixed reviews about it maybe you need to change your face wash and moisturizer.

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'm 17 years old and I've been dealing with acne since I was 13. My skin is very sensitive and has a tendency to be kind of oily around my nose; but the weird part is, I only break out on my chin and forehead. I've tried almost everything advertised on television: Proactive made my skin burn and felt tight and did not help at all. Neutrogena was awful, burned instantly and caused these little red bumps on my cheeks. Acne free also burned and basically had the same results as Proactive and Neutrogena. About mid February of this year, 2009, I decided it was time to go see a Dermatologist which he then prescribed me "Ziana". At first, I was pretty skeptical about it since it's a gel and I thought "How is this going to clear my face? wouldn't it clog my pores even more?" --WRONG! I'm acne free now! It's so simple: I apply warm water to my face, pat dry, and apply the gel all over my face. Next morning, my face feels smooth! especially when rinsing.

Ziana is the best medication I have used, and I recommend it to everyone. I am not speaking from the viewpoint of someone who has struggled with really horrible acne, but from that of someone who occasionally breaks stride because of a little bit of irritation now and then. Ziana seems to work for every skin-related problem, even the ones I didn't know I had. It makes your skin tone more even and balances oil production. It can combat redness or rosacia, bumps under the skin, large pores. I think it might increase the elasticity as well, which just livens your skin [I'm fifteen and my skin is often puffy or blotchy because I don't sleep because adults have made school harder than it was for them.] Oh, and there's one more thing: You don't know what congested skin feels like if you don't use this, because it's likely you've had it your whole (adult) life. Do you know the tingle that you get when your pores are breathing? That is what you feel all the time when you are using Ziana.
