Pros:

Very easy to use, quick, effective.

Cons:

None that I can think of.

This is not a miracle drug! Don't expect anything to be. But of all the things I've tried (and really, I've tried it all), it's the most low maintenance product with the best results. I just put a bunch of it on my face (more than a pea size) at night and my skin is noticeably better. Yes, I still get acne and break outs, but they seem less severe. Most of my whiteheads are gone and my skin is much smoother. The one $25 bottle I bought isn't even half way empty and I got it 4 months ago. I use cetaphil face wash first, then ziana, then a moisturizer. Maybe for those who have had a bad experience they have a different kind of acne than me. I had a lot of white heads that would eventually turn into pus filled pimples (gross, I know) that I could always pop. Maybe it doesn't work for those with cystic acne or little tiny pimples. Good luck!

Pros:

Easy to use, non-sticky. It's worth it!
Make your skin smoother and clearer.
With the discount it's $25.

Cons:

You can feel some dryness and peeling.
Don't use a lot, it can make your skin greasy.
Use it at night as recommended.
It can be very expensive without an insurance or the discount!

I've been using Ziana for almost 3 months now and I can tell you that it really works. You just need to be patient. Actually I've never had a severe acne. I used to breaking out especially during my menstrual period... But Ziana really helps to reduce spots at this time.Now, I'm breaking out really rarely. Don't worry about marks and acne scare because Ziana will make your skin dry and you will notice a lot of pealing; but it's a good sign because the dead skin will go away and the new skin will appear without the marks. I suggest you to also use a moisturizer during the day (I use "clear remedy" of iQ Derma - the cleanser, the lotion and the moisturizer). Good luck and don't forget to be patient...

Pros:

AMAZING PRODUCT! I never really had skin problems but all of a sudden i developed deep, painful pimples that wouldn't go away and were starting to scar my fair skin so I went to the derm & he gave me a sample and within a few days my skin cleared up and i know longer had cysts under my skin. i have not had a pimple since i used it. AMAZING!

Cons:

A bit drying so I would only put it on at night.

Amazing product that worked right away. Would recommend it to anyone!

Pros:

You only use a little but, but it goes a long way. Large tube is worth the money. Made skin worse after 1 week, but after that, skin is glowing and super smooth. Totally worth trying!

Cons:

It did make my skin oily and worse, but the derm. warned me about that and said to stick through it. I did and my skin looks great!

It might not be for everyone, but worth trying. I have never had good skin. During high-school it was really bad. Skin was ok in my 20s, but still broke out. Once I hit 30, my skin became worse, so I tried Ziana out and I was nervous due to all the reviews, but I am so glad I did! They give you a huge tube, so it will last forever and if you have good insurance, it's reasonably priced. I say give it a shot!

HAVE HAD ACNE SINCE I WAS THIRTEEN, IM 39 NOW. TRIED EVERY THING FROM CHEMICAL PEELS, ABTS, ACCUTANE, NOTHING WORKED. THIS STUFF CLEARED MY SKIN COMPLETELY AFTER A MONTH. MY SKIN GLOWS AND PEOPLE NOTICE!

Cons:

GEL MAKES YOUR SKIN SUPER OILY, I ONLY USE IT AT NIGHT.DRIES YOUR SKIN A LITTLE BIT, USE SOME MOISTURIZER. FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS I RECOMMED NADINOLA. CLEARS ALL YOUR BLEMISHES TOO

dont give up too soon, give it a couple of weeks for great results. i love ziana!

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 love it! It doesn't smell and it's not harsh on my skin like a lot of other products I have used.

Cons:

It makes my skin a little oily at first but once you use it the correct way for several weeks your skin looks amazing! People thought I was wearing airbrush makeup and I had nothing on.

Every skin type is different but this is worth a try.

Pros:

Very powerful, doesn't irritate my eyes. Seems like this will be a great solution to my acne problems.

Cons:

Not a clear liquid so it is easy to see on the area getting treated. But if you are black, you wont have a problem.

It's good. Not to much money, but I would recommend the 25 off coupon from their website if you are strapped for money. The product itself does work, just not in a snap.
