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. |

| Ziana review by 36 year old female patient | | Rating |
Overall rating: | | |
Effectiveness: | | Considerably Effective |
Side effects: | | Mild Side Effects | | Treatment Info |
Condition / reason: | | acne |
Dosage & duration: | | 1.2 % and .025% respectively (dosage frequency: 1 time daily) for the period of 1 year |
Other conditions: | | rosacea |
Other drugs taken: | | metrogel, oracea | | Reported Results |
Benefits: | | There has been a noticeable reduction in acne. Overall my skin is much smoother. I have sensitive skin and rosacea. It has not exasperated my rosacea like other tretinoin treatments have. I have been very happy with it. It's the best drug I've used for acne so far. |
Side effects: | | My sensitive skin, will still peel regardless but especially if irritated by winter dryness or rubbing against my partner's beard. I have peeled with every tretinoin product I've tried and this is the least bothersome. I am also more sensitive to the sun. Unlike other drugs, I have not ever cracked or felt discomfort unless I get excesssive sun or dryness. I don't use it every day in the winter. |
Comments: | | I spread this on my entire face every night on clean skin. In the winter, I follow with a moisturizer. In the morning, I use metrogel daily. When I have more of a breakout - and it's hard for me to sometimes differentiate acne from rosacea - I will also take Oracea for a week. If I know that I will be spending quite a bit of time outside then I will take a break from it. |
