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

This product cleared my acne when literally nothing else would, but it has left my face pretty dry, which is irritating. But honestly, I'd rather have dry skin that peels occasionally than lots of pimples. I'd say it took somewhere between 1 and 2 months for my skin to totally clear up, so it works faster than a lot of other products are supposed to. Overall, I'd say this is a great product.

I was originally prescribed Adoxa and Ziana together. I hate swallowing pills so Adoxa didnt work out for me but I continued to just use Ziana. Bottom line is that this product is a miracle worker! I never had an initial bad breakout. Ive had this stubborn moderate acne for years...especially on my chin. This product made the most persisant acne disappear. Im hoping with time some of the scaring will go down, but I can actually go out without make up now! AMAZING...girls you know how annoying it is to spend 20 mins applying makeup just to conceal all of your blemishes..and constantly looking in the mirror throughout the day to check on your makeup coverage. This product has taken away the stress of having acne. You have to try it for atleast 2 months. At about 7 weeks my skin was CLEAR. I get an occasion break out now and again, but it's tiny and doesn't bother me at all. People are even noticing how glowing my skin is now.The only downside is that even if you use a little of this product it still dries the skin. Ive even had dry eyelids...pretty weird. Just get some Eucerin Hand Cream and dab a little bit onto the dry part of your face and it will keep your skin hydrated all day. It hasn't cloged my pores either or caused more breakouts. Go get Ziana, totally happy I use this product. If you have body acne, dont forget to put ziana on it at night also.

I had deep cystic acne on my cheeks that hurt alot. I've tried proactiv, doxycycline, sodium sulfacetamide, minocycline and none of them worked. I first started using it Dec. 2009. Brokeout HORRIBLY. It was bad. So I stopped for about 1 month. After a month I decided to give it another shot, with the idea that "it can't get any worse than it already is". So i got back on it in Feb. 2010. Started using it consistently every night. By the end of March things were looking better, about 3-4 pimples on each cheek, with the occasional 2 or 3 on my forehead and chin. It's now May and my cheeks, chin and forehead are clear. All that remains are red marks and a few pimples on my jaw line. I am currently using baby soap as a face wash, ziana at night, and acanya in the morning. I took bactrim ds for about 2 weeks in Feb. but stopped because of the side-effects. Ziana works, just stick to it.

I've been using the product now for about 3 weeks. It's been kind of on and off. At first my face cleared up really well then at the beginning of the third week I started breaking out on one side of my face SO bad, didn't want to leave my house. So that weekend I stayed home and didn't wear make-up and used ziana day and night and by Monday the breakout was already healed up and going away. Now I am still getting one or two very small ones, but all in all my face is looking so much better than it did before the product. I am happy with the results so far and hopefully everything will continue to keep getting better. =D

I know that I'm a bit early into this regimen to give it a completely review. I plan to update as I go along. However, I wanted to mention to those that are scared to death of the "purging" period... it seems to effect each person differently. I wasn't even sure if I was experiencing the purge. My acne had cleared up a lot (after a massive breakout) before I went to the derm. So when I experienced the "purge," it was no worse than my typical acne before it started clearing. Things heal up pretty quickly. Microdermabrasion and my regimen seem to work really well. I have very oily skin, so this product has never made my face appear dry or flaking. In the morning, I do feel a bit of tightness that resolves after my shower and moisturizer. Nothing dramatic like I feared. The reason I'm posting this (just under a month of starting) is because I wanted others to not be scared off by all reviews. I read some and was petrified to start Ziana. If it wasn't for the hassle of paying for the derm, getting insurance and promotional cards to cover the cost, and the 10+ years it took to finally see the derm... I might have skipped it. Jump in. It's not so bad.

Personally, its helped me tremendously, but it has a long way to go before almost clearing my acne. But dont get me wrong, its stopped numerous zits from popping up, and it helped a lot. I would highly recommend this to people with pretty bad acne, who are tried of it and need a out.

Love this product! Best retinoid I've ever used! Low to no irritaion overall. I also like it for my backne. I used a rebate at the pharmacy so I got it for free, because my co-pay was $35.00 It lasts a long time. Very happy with my results!

My skin has gotten worse but everyone says its supposed to do this in the first 1,2 or 3 weeks then your skin will clear up perfectly! even brown spots after the pimple. imm going to keep trying it.

I love Ziana and I would definitely recommend it to a friend

only need a pea drop size which makes the inicial purchase worth the money
