Pros:

Works great with my skin. only need a small amount (pea size)

Cons:

First week of treatment acne was bad. $96 small $260 large tube (only need the small) with insurance and a $35 coupon from the Dr.

Before I started Ziana I was following the steps of the Regimen recommended from acne.org. It was working ok but not the results I was looking for. So I wet to the DR. and that is when I started to get on Ziana. I quite using the Regimen treatment and followed the Ziana directions step by step. WK1: Face was looking good at the beginning of the week. Old acne bruises were clearing up. Then broke out bad towards the end. (deep cleansing i guess) WK2: Face trying to clear the acne up. Each morning looks promising. No new breakouts. WK3: Fell more confident about pulling my hair back. Only one break out. Face looking great. Old brown spots going away WK4: Around my menstrual cycle. Broke out once (one pimple) and just 2 small white heads . (thats ok) My face still looks great. WK5: happy and still going strong Notes that might help:( MY skin type)- olive, (Age)-26 battling acne for 5 years (cleanser)-Cetaphil (moisturizer)-olay

Pros:

Clear skin!

Cons:

Expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it

After 10 zitful years, this is what finally, completely cleared up my mild-moderate acne. Unfortunately, if I miss a dose or two, I'll break out again. Still, this has worked wonders where Accutane failed. (I just want to add that I did NOT become depressed from using Accutane.) As a bonus, I've experienced no side-effects from this ointment. My skin can take a beating, though, so take that with a grain of salt if you have sensitive skin. Anyway, if you can afford it, I highly recommend Ziana. Try to get some samples from your dermatologist so you can see if it works for you. I know it's incredibly cheesy, but even mild acne so hurts my self-esteem that I have to say it: Ziana changed my life!

Pros:

Clears skin

Cons:

Expensive

I was prescribed Ziana after trying Differin and Retin A Micro. I used Retin A Micro for six months and only saw my face get worse. Ziana is a mixture of Retin A and an antibiotic. I apply Ziana nightly after washing my face with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide wash. Either the Ziana or the Benzoyl Peroxide bleached my pillow case. Despite this, I do not care because the Ziana has cleared my skin. I struggled with mild to moderate acne for years. Just the other day my coworker told me that my skin looks perfect. I am extremely pleased with the results. I cannot believe it is me in the mirror. It took about four weeks for the product to clear my forehead.

Pros:

it works in ways that no OTC can possibly work.

Cons:

turns my pimples into flaky spots before they disappear--annoying b/c it's harder to cover flaky spots than zits! my derm suggested using only a pea-sized amount for my whole face. i find that if i use more than that, my skin becomes very irritated.

for me, the product works, as long as i use it consistently, and don't use so much of it as to irritate my skin. i did not have any oiliness issues as others have been reporting--if anything, it's helped to reduce my usually grease-bucket level of oil production. as long as my derm gives me the coupons (or my insurance decides to add it to their formulary), i'll continue to use it.

Pros:

First topical acne treatment that has actually worked!! I've used many different treatments from Retin-A Micro to Differin. This one has worked within a couple of weeks and isn't too drying or harsh.

Cons:

I have an HSA insurance plan--and without the rebate card from the company this medicine would have cost me close to $400. With the card, I got it for $25!

I have struggled with acne since my teenage years (I am now 29). This is the first medicine that has made an improvement on my breakouts. I will continue to use it and hope it continues to make my face more clear. Still has a ways to go.

Pros:

MY SKIN IS FLAWLESS!

Cons:

PATIENCE!

It took 4 months, but it's finally working. Let me warn you, if you're not patient, don't try this. My skin was worse than before for the first 10 weeks. I woke up every morning with new zits, which is typical of how the gel works ("purging"). But now my skin is flawless. I get the occasional zit during my cycle but there's no product that can prevent that. Also, my doctor gave me a savings card that ensures the gel will cost $25 or less. That tube has lasted me for 4 months, and will last at least another 6!
