I've been struggling with acne for a while and my dermatologist prescribed Ziana Gel. It contains clindamycin and tretinoin, which sounds promising. I'm a bit worried about the side effects, especially the severe ones. Has anyone here used it? What was your experience like? Did you have any issues with the side effects, and how did you manage them? Thanks in advance for any insights!

I had some gnarly dryness and irritation when I first started using it, but it went away after a couple of weeks. Stick with it, it's worth it!

I had a terrible time with it. The gel made my face incredibly dry and I had a lot of redness in the first few weeks. Plus, I had some trouble breathing in the middle of the night and went to the ER 2 weeks in

I don't understand why this isn't more popular. It has worked well for me.

I think it's worth trying, but honestly there are a lot of other things to consider. It can cause bad side effects and long-term use might not be the best idea.

I was using it religiously for 3 weeks and I had what felt like a stomach bug every day. Please be aware, it can make diarrhea a regular thing.

This comment is a joke. Watch out everyone, you're all just a prescription away from becoming a Ziana Gel zombie. But in all seriousness, it was really helpful. I got some dryness and peeling, but it went away eventually.

Before using it, I had a lot of questions. Should I use it with a moisturizer? Should I use a night cream too? If anyone has an answer, please let me know

I had no side effects at all! But seriously—it really depends on the person. I did use this only for a month though, couldn't really take it all of the time.

I've used it twice a day for 2 months and it finally cleared up and stopped my acne

I used Ziana Gel for a few months and it worked wonders on my acne. Just be patient and consistent with it. The side effects were minimal for me—just some initial dryness.
