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

Great, cheap effective, just stay on top of it

My face is clearing up. It takes awhile before you see results. I think I was up to week 6 before I finally started noticing results. I was frustrated up to the point where I was going to switch derms but hang in there it does work.

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.

Help! I starting taking Ziana about 4 weeks ago. At first, I didnt notice any change at all and now this week all of a sudden my face has been overrun by large cystic acne! Im so embarrassed and depressed and Im tempted to stop taking Ziana--Ill just live with what my skin looked like beforehand! How true is it that your skin gets worse before it gets better and how long is that supposed to last?? I havent even noticed this medication making a difference on blackheads. Will my skin get worse if I just stop cold turkey?!!

Love it! Use it only at night, but it works great. First couple of weeks, I had tons of blackheads appear, but I think it was just pulling everything out of my skin. Now my skin looks great. It's my highest co-pay at $35.00, but hopefully it will last a few months.

This stuff is AMAZING!!! I have been using ziana for almost 3months now. Nothing that I've ever used has worked before, and I've tried everything (yes, even proactiv). I confess that when I first started using ziana, I did not see results right away. After the first month, I really noticed the difference. My skin is so smooth, and I have not had REAL breakouts since I started using it. Although I don't have any more acne, I do have reddish-pinkish spots close to where the acne was, but they are disappearing slowly on their own. My dermatologist says that in a few months, my skin should be back to normal. Remember that you might not see results right away, but hang in there, because it works!!

First 7 or 8 weeks was pure hell. My face broke out like never before. Huge Cystic acne all over the place, much worser than when i originally started using the cream. I use this at night with cetaphil moisturizer and now its been the 11th week and my skin is flawless. I notice one tiny bump but two days later its gone. No more puss or huge week long lasting boils.

I have been on this product for a month and a half and I saw improvement. But then I got a sunburn, and my face is peeling, and it is not working as well. I would recommend this but, you have to be patient. I'm a 15 year old female, who has been sruggling with acne for 3 years, and I've learned you just have to be patient. As difficult as it is, just wait it out, and wear LOTS OF SUNSCREEN!

This is not a miracle gel, but I don't really think any of them are if you really suffer from chronic or severe acne. I have had the worst time getting Tretinoin gels to work for me-- I am the first to say that I think they are more trouble than they are worth, and it's very hard to get past the "initial breakout", which is truly terrible. I found though that in this combination, the Clindamycin helped pimples heal faster and prevented them from getting yucky and more inflamed. I coupled Ziana with Spironolactone because I suffer from hormonal cysts, large pores, and oily skin. I started seeing results from this combination after about 6 weeks. I think that a lot of these gels need time, and they need to be paired with an oral treatment to be really effective. I don't really think there is one stop shopping with acne treatment.

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!
