Quinoderm : (5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream

I would recommend anyone to try this product - its great for drying out spots (MAKE SURE YU HAVE A GOOD MOISTURISER) and shrinking them. Unfortunately for me it only works on some particular spots, like the big lumpy ones on the surface. If you have tiny clumps of them on one particular area of the skin (sometimes can appear to be completely under the skin) I wouldn't recommend it. That, and the fact it can change the skin's colouring in particular places and still leave marks are my only downfalls!

I had read such brilliant reviews about quinoderm, and since duac had stopped working for me, I bought some. Really cheap which is great, and the percentage that I had was 5% (then I upped to 10%). Unlike duac, with quinoderm I did suffer from very peely and dry skin, aswell as it making my skin very red, almost as if I had been burnt. I used it consistently despite the dryness for around two months but I did not see any improvement in my skin. Real shame because it has worked perfectly for one of my good friends!

My skin was just too sensitive for this. It made my skin red, itchy and flakey. I don't know if it would have helped my acne as I had no choice but to stop using it.

I think this is a product that needs a little time and patience. I've been using it for a month and its only just started to clear up a few days ago. I noticed it was clearing up the small spots almost straight away. However, it seemed as though I had traded acne for very tight, red dry skin. But with frequent use my skin got used to it and now its only a tiny bit dry but nothing a bit of moisture could fix. I've tried loads of different products before including Proactive, dermalogica and various doctor prescribed antibiotic topical treatments. This seems to be the only thing that's working. Cheaper is better for me. A quick tip though.. I've found that oily or super moisturizing moisturisers are tempting but give you spots in the dries bits. I use oil free blemish moisturiser by clean &clear and its really working.

It helped me live an acne and pretty much spot free life the last 20 years... just occasionally (like now) i feel compelled to search for a solution that does not force me to wear white clothes (or spend a lifetime throwing away clothes only worn a handful of times!)

This cream was cheap to buy and could be bought from most places. When I first started using the cream I was pleasantly surprised as it did clear up my spots and other people noticed this too (HURRAH!). However, after about a week my face turned very dry, red and was INFURIATINGLY itchy. I'd wake up in the middle of the night scratching my face raw which left scratch marks. After a further week I woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and my face had swollen up (!). The cream did clear up my spots which is what I wanted it for, but to me personally the side effects were just too much. Redness, dryness and itchiness?... No thanks.

Its a good cream and did make my face look so much better the 1st time i used it, now im using it again for a a few days and its getting better again, but remmeber it did break my out quite bad too. I would definetly recommend this. Go and try this!

I bought my Quinoderm at Boots - it cost £4-5 for the 50g tube. Its a creamy consistency which i prefer to gels and you only need two pea sized amounts to cover your whole face. Now for me this has been a life saver! I'm 22 and have tried EVERYTHING else, including Roaccutane, until reading about Quinoderm on here. Ok my skin still isn't 100% clear but after only 1 months usage my skin is the clearest its been for many years. I currently have only three visible spots! After the first week my skin did become a bit dry and flakey but i have countered this by using olive oil soap every other day to add some mild moisture. In my opinion this cream is well worth a try. Its worked wonders for me - I hope it does for you too!

ths prodyuct is very good well yes it does slightly burn but i' drather have that than horrid spots and it works but it took about a month for me ot realise a difference

This is a miracle cream! After trying PanOxyl 2.5 aquagel which burned my face, this stuff is genius :) Today is the sixth day I've used this product (2 applications a day), and my skin is the clearest it's been since I was about 13. My forehead (which had the least acne) is completely clear now, it looks amazing, and the rest of my face is slowly catching up. When washing my face in the morning, I've started exfoliating with a gentle scrub because skin can get a bit flakey during the first few days, and this makes it hard to apply make up. But the exfoliator buffs away any dry bits of skin. However, this might not be suited to everyone so be careful. But seriously try this product, I paid £3.50 for mine, and it's the best £3.50 I've ever spent :) Also, I recommend the 5% for first time users. Good luck !
