Pros:

works.. cheap.. actually gets rid of my acne.

Cons:

stings a lil ( but must mean it works! ) smelly

actually works within a few days.. might take weeks for some, but worth it ! i feel better about not having to wear cakey makeup now, so i can give my skin a rest without worrying about a big fat spot some where on my face... gave me my confidence back... i feel better about my skin , and it looks 100 percent better now.

Pros:

Clears up spots well, makes them less red and generally smoothens the skin.

Cons:

It has made my average strength skin very slightly dry.

I have only used this product 4 times (once the night I got it, twice the next day-morning and evening- and once this morning-to be used again later- and it has work amazingly! In under 48 hours my skin looks a lot better and all the spots on the left side of my back (which was less affected) have all calmed down and my right side (which was badly affected) is still less red, smoother and the spots are smaller. My chest was also affected with a few big spots scattered about (not many smaller ones) and they are all less red and some have disappeared. What I do is I put some Clearasil clean and refine on my back and chest. Then in the shower I scrub the stuff off my back and wash the cream on my chest off without a sponge, just in the shower stream. I then dry myself and apply the Quinoderm cream. This has worked really well and i hope it carries on. Seriously try it!

Pros:

works so well, makes all spots disappear! =)

Cons:

makes your skin a little dry until it gets used to the treatment.

I got mine from the doctor, so it cost nothing and it has really got rid of all my acne, face and shoulders.

Pros:

-Works really well
- In a creamy base so not harsh
- Value for money (only £3.80 per 50g tube)

Cons:

- Need to purchase in a pharmacy over here in the UK ( not a big deal though)

I am using Quinoderm 5 with the regimen and my skin is almost clear with a few red marks and light brown scars. As we don't get a variety of benzoyl peroxide creams/gels here, Quinoderm was the cheapest and probably most gentle BP I have used and much better than Panoxyl which was horrendous and dried me up like a prune or even Neutrogena. As it's in a creamy base, it's easy to rub in and blends great with most moisturising lotions and I just apply my makeup over it, unlike Panoxyl which emusifies and turns into white gloop over my face. I highly recommend it to folks who live here in the UK .

Pros:

Cleared my skin within about a week, worked really well!

Cons:

Dry skin, stings for two or three minutes

I've tried literally everything, even perscription creams and pills for my skin, this is the only thing that's worked for me, I love it.

Pros:

Dries out your spots

Cons:

Does not work over night but needs about a week or two application.

This stuff does sting the skin and I bought it as I had a wedding coming up and wanted clear skin..in three days. Yes I know..nothing can really clear the skin in three days especially not hard cyst type spots, which was what I was suffering with. Anyway I tried it and yes it does dry out your spots and it turns the skin over helping to shed away all the old cells and dirt which cause spots. I am impressed with the results as my skin is starting to look totally acne free however it is very drying. It did reduce the redness and shrink the spots after two applications so you do notice results quickly. Being 28 and having started to see the signs of aging I do worry about using this product but its a toss up really...aging skin or spots? I will continue to use this if I am having very bad breakouts but I certainly do not think i would continue with this product after using it consistently for a month as I really dont want the long term wrinkled effect.

Pros:

If you use it twice a day i garauntee that your spots will calm down within hours and disappear completely with continued use. This really is almost too good to be true-it works so well and it is so cheap.

Cons:

The cream can at times be very drying leaving you with 'face dandruff' but this usually disappears within a day. Who cares if it can bleach fabrics if it totally prevents spots!

You simply cannot buy a more effective, inexpensive, non-prescription acne treatment. I cannot understand how more people aren't talking about/using this product-it's just amazingly good.

Pros:

It actually works!

Cons:

Stings a little, doesnt smell too good and can bleach fabrics.

It might sound like a cliché but I have tried EVERYTHING and this is the ONLY thing which has worked for me. Ok I'm 26 and get spots on a regular basis not big one but little annoying ones which leave blemishes in the end. I have tried every cream going and every herbal treatment. I have changed my diet (which I still believe is a contributing factor to acne whether its major or minor factor is still debatable). I had ran out of my usual PanOxyl Gel and went into my sisters room who was advised by her doctor to use Quinoderm so I thought I'd use it and buy more PanOxyl the next day. Well after using it and seeing the results the next morning I decided never to use PanOxyl ever again as this was so much better, less drying, no red marks and my spots had calmed down considerably. After using it for 2 weeks there has been a major improvement to my skin-Thank god for Quinoderm!
