ZIANA is a topical acne treatment. It is the only treatment that combines clindamycin phosphate, an antibiotic, and tretinoin, a retinoid. There is no generic form of ZIANA. The ingredients are: clindamycin phosphate 1.2% and tretinoin 0.025%.[1] It comes in 2, 30, and 60 gram tubes and should be stored at 77 degrees F, with the tube tightly shut away from light.[2] Side effects may include peeling, redness, dryness, itching and photosensitivity. Also, topical clindamycin may rarely cause diarrhea or colitis.
