Pros:

Smooths skin, less acne, gets rid of breakouts quickly, cleared up most of my acne, breakouts occur less.

Cons:

No results for scars yet.

I have oily skin, so I think Ziana doesn't dry out my skin as much as someone who already has dry skin. I've only been using it for about a month now, and I can tell my face is looking and feeling clearer. My skin is still pretty oily, but I break out less and if I do get a pimple, Ziana clears it up quickly. I'm hoping it will eventually reduce the appearance of scars. I haven't seen any difference in those results yet.

Pros:

This stuff really works! At first I was frustrated with the product, but I discovered less is more. Once I starting applying a smaller amount of the product, my face really started look a lot better. My skin is clearer and smoother. Love it!

Cons:

It kinda makes my skin feel a little sticky when it's on, but it's only at night and it washes off easily.

The product is really good and my face looks great!

Works Great But Have to be Patient
I started Ziana in March of 2016. For the first 3-4 months, my skin purged BADLY! But I did NOT quit! I continued treatment. Here I am, March of 2017, and my skin cleared about 85%. I have recently cut out sugar in my diet and started taking vitamins to take care of the rest of the acne left (minimal amount). ONLY use a pea size amount of Ziana before bed everyday. I know the purging is difficult... I understand. But you have to continue for at least 4-6 months as that's when it starts to clear! I will hopefully add photos to my profile soon to show how it helped me :)

Pros:

Prevents teh acne and sort of brings up the pore to the surface.
Spreads very easily on the skin.
lightens scars
fades winkles

Cons:

Takes a long time for your scars to fade.
leaves skin dry

I have very oily skin and my dermatologist gave me free samples of this to test out LOL. Personally I like this product because it brings all of my pores up to the surface and I can easily scrub them away with teh clarisonic. However it does leave the skin dry and this prouct should be used at night only because it contains an antibiotic (which destorys or inhibits bacteria multiplication) and retinol (which is a form of vitamin A). As mentioned before retinol makes our skin highly sensitive to light because it encourgaes teh growth of new skin cells and therefore should only be woren at night. If applied in teh mornign please remember to apply sunscreen as your face. I like this product alot because it prevents acne and it also brings up the pore to the surface PLUS I GOT IT FOR FREE!

Pros:

( I also started Ortho Tri-Cycline birth control 2 weeks ago)
-Diminishing blackheads
-Quickly shrinking my inflamed lesions
-no new acne to speak of
-much less inflamation and MUCH smaller pores.

Cons:

-some flaking of skin
-smells like the agar plates in my microbiology class?
-can be super pricey (this is where the last point was lost) but I had a free trial coupon

I am on a great combination of stuff. I am taking ortho tri-cyclin ( which treats hormonal acne problems), Aczone in the AM, and Ziana in the evenings. I feel like the Ziana is having the greatest affect because there is visible difference in my acne from the time I go to sleep at night to when I wake up for work in the morning. My doc would also like me to take Solodyn, but I had an issue getting the prescription..they want to charge $400. My one problem is with the company Medicis in itself. They give out this three month discount card, which makes both prescriptions a combined $30 a month but once that runs out, these two drugs (Ziana and Solodyn) retail for about $500 each per month and my blue cross isn't wanting to accept it. Basically, if you can get the medications inexpensively, DO IT. Good stuff. I am seeing results after a week, even though in their trials there was only a 21% success rate (meaning 21% of the patients were TOTALLY cleared). I guess I would go into that group.

Pros:

No irritation, No dry skin

Cons:

super expensive....must ask doc for discount card to get it for $25
Takes awhile to see results...took me a month before I noticed a difference.

FINALLY!! After more than 10 years and thousands of dollars spent on medication (over the counter and prescription) I found the answer to my prayers. Just in time for my engagement pictures...Thanks Ziana!

Pros:

Very nice so far, it's clearing my acne pretty fast and is brightening my complexion.

Cons:

It was expensive for me, but the tube is very big and you don't use that much of it. Also i did break out a little bit at first.

i havn't used this product very long, almost 2 weeks now. I used Duac for 2 1/2 years and was VERY happy with it but eventually i stopped noticing improvement and started to break out instead of get better. So i went to the doctor and the next night i used Ziana. I was very scared to use it after reading all the reviews but i figured i'd give it a shot. I was already breaking out before i used it so i don't really know if i should blame breaking out on Ziana, but now my face is practically clear! It's been working really well for me so far and i can't wait to finally achieve clear skin. I'm pretty positive it will work well
