Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Ziana minimized the large sore pimples. I continued to have a few during my menstrual cycle. However, I continued to experience blocked pores / blackheads and very oily skin. The product did not appear to help this. |
| Side effects: | | Ocassionally I would experience very mild flakey skin. However, given my oily skin it was only noticeable right after I washed my face. |
| Comments: | | I would apply the Ziana once a day at night after washing my face with a mild cleanser. |
