Pros:

Cleared up my acne 99%. Apply only at bedtime. Large tube can last 6-9 months. Thankfully my insurance covers this expensive prescription.

Cons:

Acne did get worse at first but cleared up after 3 months of usage. Expensive if insurance doesn't cover it.

This product may take up to 3 months to show results, so you must be patient. It definitely took that long for me but was well worth the wait. I've had mild-moderate acne for almost 20 years and this is the best my complexion has looked in a long time. Before Ziana I used many over the counter products with not very good results.

Pros:

didnt take long for it to clear my skin
didnt really break out like i thought i was going to
brings white heads to the surface
really smooths out skin
skin feels/looks soft and smooth
clear gel
large tube that lasts for a long time
heals popped pimples faster

Cons:

skin is really oily
cant go in the sun too much
still get a few small white heads/pimples randomly and occassionally
dries skin
havent had any bad side effects
no spot treatment?

ive been using this for almost 3 months now. i was surprised that i didnt break out as bad as i read others did (purging) but it was just normal acne for me. it actually started clearing up in like 1.5 - 2 weeks. my skin looked and felt smoother. i just wash my face with olay face wash and then apply 15-20 min later only a pea-size amount like it says. i read somewhere to apply it like 20 min after u get out of the shower/wash ur face or it causes more drying of the skin. i also put on neutragena moisturizer in the morning. definitely such an improvement. not perfect but pretty darn close. def happy with the results. no more worrying and stressing about pimples and how to cover them! :) its also really cheap with my insurance and the card they give u. and the tube seriously lasts forever. annnnd its clear gel unlike some of the other products i use where they r white and i walk around at nite with white stuff all over my face. anyways, i love it :) and def am so glad i got on it!

Pros:

well for one it worked!

Cons:

none, my skin was red ,dry and irritated from other products.

it really depends on your skin on how soon it will clear your acne. for me it was fast after my dermatologist injected this medicine into the really big ones and ziana helped with the small ones by the next day. my derm recommended i apply ziana once a day, my skin seems to be responding very well

Pros:

Clears up acne quickly. I saw a significant difference in my face within 2 weeks.

Cons:

Makes your skin very sensitive to the sun. It's also expensive if you don't have insurance. Many derms have coupons for this stuff because it's so expensive ($332). Be sure to ask for a coupon or a rebate offer from your derm.

It works! I still have hyperpigmentation scars but my derm said that with continued use Ziana will lighten those up as well. Be sure to stay out of the sun.

Amazing

Pros:

Starting working in 1 overnight use
Slowly clearing up the bumps

Cons:

Super oily face when I wake up

I suffered from acne for 2 years and it's been a pain in the butt. I tried everything and when I say everything, I mean almost everything. I tried retin-a micro 0.25% and 0.4%, epiduo, solodyn, acanya, aczone, minocylcine and finally ziana. I was really afraid to try ziana because I read about how it had really bad purging and I was afraid. However, I decided to give it a try since I was losing hope. I saw a difference in 1 day. It was amazing. I put it on at night and woke up with less bumps on my temples. I had no purging whatsoever and it's only been little over a week and it has done amazing to my skin. The pimples are slowly clearing up and I'm hoping it can fade my acne scars. All I have to say is, give it a try. I love ziana and I feel confident again (:

MY MIRACLE

Pros:

acne is gone
red marks are fading

Cons:

skin is peeling

THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!! my (short) story: my birth control broke me out in cystic acne all over my chin.. which if it wasn't a nightmare enough, the cysts got infected. my chin was scabbed, swollen, disgusting. I was so embarrassed i went home for the weekend to heal. i was given the medication on friday.. it is now sunday and my SKIN LOOKS AMAZING!! it looks even better than it did before i got the cysts. my red marks are fading, my skin looks almost perfect and it's only been 3 days. i have only been using this stuff and i cant believe the effect that it's had. this has done more for me than 3 microderms and 5 chemical peels have. i was using way too much of it at first (applying it like 3x a day) and my skin is really dry and flaky now. WHATEVER! i'd so much rather have that then the marked up mess i was dealing with before. i'm only applying it at night now. i can't wait to keep on seeing the improvements oh and i got no initial breakout!

Pros:

Cleared up my acne completely. Did not dry me out like Differin did. Switched from Differin to Epiduo (which was even worse than Differin) and then to Ziana. NO dry skin and made it easy to put on my makeup without it looking cracked.

Cons:

Gel is watery so you need so much less than you need with Differin or Epiduo. I wish my doctor would have told me that, because if you put on too much, it can feel sticky. The right amount will give you great skin and no bad dryness.

AMAZING. I have tried Retin-A Micro, Atralin, Differin, and Epiduo and was about to give up. This is the only retinoid that worked for me without making my face a dessert and flaky and making it impossible to put on my foundation every day. I LOVE Ziana!!

Pros:

I can't believe my skin looks great. I tried everything. In my early 20's I used accutane and in my 30's my acne came back and Ziana cleared it and it looks great.

Cons:

it takes about three months before you see any results. Stick with it. My face got worse before it got better. I am so glad I stuck with Ziana.

It took about three months for it to work. It cleared up my face and the texture of my face is nice and it looks good. It works but you need to stick it out. Don't give up.
