Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: I have been using Ziana for about nine months. I will admit I was extremely frustrated in the beginning because my face was seemed to be worse than it was before. But nine months later, my face is acne free. I will occasionally get a tiny tiny pimple but it will usually go away in a day or two. My confidence is back where it needs to be and all the wait was frustrating, it was worth it.

Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: I absolutely love this medication. I was a little unsure since everything I used in the past didn't work. Went to a well known dermatolgist and I must say my skin looks so good it's really hard to grasp I had a glycolic acid peel on my first visit and started using the medication every night. I did develop a few more pimples while using but I stayed with it washing my face with Cerave hydrating cleanser morning and night like I was instructed and applying sun screen when I am outside. Today I had my second glycolic peel when the doctor saw me he was pleased with my results. It has only been 5 weeks and the good thing is, he said if I think my skin looks good now wait another 2 months. It's really amazing I went out of the house for the first time with no make up....yay! It really works.

Veltin (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: Using Veltin gel every night for about a week now. I put on Cereve lotion first than apply a small amount. So far it has been working great. All the smaller bumps disappeared and the larger ones decreased dramatically. I have even had comments that my skin is looking great. I'm excited to see the long term results, but so far so good.
Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: Having endured mild acne for 40 years with no real relief from various recommendations/interventions from dermatologist. I used Ziana for 3 months and have had fabulous results. No side effects, easy to use. It has been a miracle and a dream come true! As an added bonus, the dermatologist has said to continue using Ziana and that it would improve the wrinkles too. Life is good again....acne affects more than your skin, but permeates your self concept, activities you choose to participate in, social life, and the list goes on. To those who worked to develop this product, my deepest gratitude!
Veltin (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: I have been using Veltin for about two months now. It works. I use a scrub every morning, moisturizer, then at night I wash with a foaming wash better than previous acne washes I've been using--then the Veltin. Wait an hour and then my moisturizer. Great routine. I got the flu and had to stop my routine because I was too sick and tired, acne returned worse after 2 days. Back on my routine and it is getting better.
Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: Just started using Ziana about a month ago on face, neck and chest. My face has been doing great, but my neck and chest has been breaking out like crazy. I think this maybe because I get regular facials and extractions, but not on my neck or chest so there is a lot to purge. I am liking what I am seeing on the face so far. Still break out but it seems like it is getting better. I am going to stick with it and see where it goes, will update if anything changes.
Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: I've been using Ziana for about a year now, it seems to do a good job preventing and treating new acne vulgaris, but does nothing to prevent or eliminate the white heads. I actually haven't used it in the past week, and have seen no change in my skin. I also wash my face with a salicylic acid/glycolic acid face wash that my dermatologist sells.
Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: My dermatologist put me on this and I had to pay $180 for one tube! A little does go a long way though. At first when I tried this my skin didn't show any signs my dermatologist told me to wait six months! I couldn't bear it so I stopped using it and tried Clinique 3 step. It helped after 3 weeks but then I never saw any major changes so I used Ziana with Clinique and it worked great. My face isn't acne free yet but it's getting close after a while though the toner and moisturizer made my lower face flake unbelievably, so I stopped using it and now I just use the soap 2 times a day and Ziana at night. It has worked wonders. Good luck.
Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: I have been using Ziana for almost a year now. I had the deep cystic acne that was painful and huge. After a couple of weeks using Ziana my face cleared up and in almost a year I have not had one pimple. I experienced no side effects and have been using it once every other day for a couple months now (because it's not cheap). My doctor also prescribed me a sulfur face wash which I use every day at night. Ziana is like a miracle to me.
Veltin (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: I have been using this for about a month and a half. It dry's my skin out and need to moisturize about 5 times a day opposed to twice. My face will get clear and then break out again. I'm still waiting on results.
Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: Skin doing well after a couple of days after already using tretinoin gel for several weeks. However, having sore throat/cough and am fearing sinusitis. Hoping it clears up.
Veltin (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: I've been using this, along with a medicated morning scrub, for about 3 months now. I've noticed less inflamed acne spots, but I still get normal break out flares at different times. I'm still waiting to see consistent results at this point. But, I did stop using the Veltin Gel while I had a stomach virus, and even just missing the one dose that evening, the next day I had brand new flare ups of acne. So the medicine is definitely doing something.
Veltin (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: I have been using Veltin gel for a week now. I haven't had any of the side effects. I use Veltin at night after washing with Cetaphil daily facial wash. I also take 50 mg of doxycycline hyclate twice a day. As a former Proactiv user, this is wonderful. I will not waste anymore money on Proactiv or any other over the counter acne medication.
clindamycin / tretinoin for Acne: This medication is absolutely wonderful. It is the first topical I've used that actually works. My skin is definitely under control and I only get one or two pimples around that time of the month. I can handle one or two.
Veltin (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: Started using Veltin in August. Started seeing results (less cystic breakouts), but didn't see consistent results until December. All I can say is stick with it! I now regularly go 2-3 weeks without any breakouts, 100% clear. Prior to Veltin, breakouts happened every 1-2 days.
Major con is it dries out skin (not just where it just feels dry, but actual peeling). The dry skin rubs off in the shower. Pro is since it is a retinoid product, new skin feels and looks healthier.
Ziana (clindamycin / tretinoin) for Acne: This medicine is amazing. After suffering from pretty bad acne and trying every topical product out there (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, tea tree oil, sulfur masks, etc.), I had pretty much given up all hope of clear skin. I started Ziana and saw no immediate results, but kept applying every night. A month later, my acne was significantly reduced. Two months later... I only have two small pimples that are in the stage of drying up. I highly recommend Ziana; it seems to be gentle on the skin. Keep with it! The results are amazing. I'm so much more confident. Good luck! P.S. I used in combination with doxycycline, which seems to significantly improve results.
