Pros:

completely clears spots. amazing stuff.

Cons:

stings when first applied & drys out skin

amazing stuff!!!!! never had anything like it before i would deffo recommend!! its amazing! drys out skin but thats okay compared to a red spotty face :| plus a moisturiser can fix it. I havent been this happy in a long time.. i dont have major acne ive just got mild to moderate.. but still any spots can make a person change their outlook on things i dont look away from people anymore when they look at me and stuff, tis just amazing!!!!!

Pros:

Clears up them annoying spots that linger for days

Cons:

does sting a bit and drys out skin

I didnt know about this cream until I saw it in my boyfriends mums bathroom... I thought Id give it a try and I must say it is brillant my forehead is completely clear! Its really refreshing to pick up a cream for a couple of pound and does exactly what it says on the tube! Its fab stuff!!! I have been taking dianette and I think I may come of it and stick with quinoderm... its probably better to do..but I will keep using quinoderm as it is good. BUT dont over use it or you'll just end up with very sore skin... stick to a rountine that will help your skin! good luck

Hopeless for me
Didn't like this product at all. Being 10% strength I thought I'd get some kind of result but all it seemed to do was burn and tingle (which I usually take as a good sign - must be doing something) but no - I had sore skin and STILL had spots. Didn't stop the flaking that I get either. I thought I'd try it on individual spots instead as people had said it worked really well if you did that. Nothing, just didn't do anything at all lol Anyway I'm glad it works for some people. Worth a go obviously but my spots weren't having any of it! ☹️

Absolutely brilliant

Pros:

Cheap
Prevents new spots
Helps clear scars

Cons:

Can sting a little
Lightens skin

It appears this cream is only good for some skin types (having read other reviews) - my skin is very tough,dark olive European and I have never suffered from dry, flaky skin, nor have I suffered from oily skin, it's always been a good balance. So, if that's your skin type then it's a good start. I use the 10% cream 3 times a day at the moment - I'd never had acne until I hit 23, I'm nearly 25 now and this is the best my skin has been since I started treating my acne - I was previously diagnosed as level 3. Anyway, it has helped slow down the growth of new spots, if I do get new spots they're much smaller and heal faster. My existing spots are all completely gone, but the best thing is the help it's had with the scarring - unbelievable!! I had huge red and purple lumps all over my cheeks and chin and over the last month they're slowly disappearing. Definitely the right cream for you if you've got the right kind of skin for it.

Pros:

Works fast
Clears fast
Clears you with a week max

Cons:

DRYYYYY as tobacco
flakey skin
won't cure

Great product but leaves you to dry out like a raisin or tobacco Lool!...It will clear you skin in a matter of days!...But its not a permanent solution! Will work but it won't cure you!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Very drying on the skin
Make skin painful even when hardly using any product
To hash for my skin
Did not improve acne
Made acne actually worse as this product has now given me cystic acne which I never really use to get before.

I've had moderate acne for about a few years now bearing in mind I'm in my early 20's and the last thing anybody wants is acne. I've been using Oxy 10 and Oxy on the spot over the last few years which worked fantastic on my skin and cleared up my acne. However over the past few months I've been unable to purchase these products in the UK :( After a few weeks of not using any benzoyl peroxide on my skin my acne returned with a vengeance! I was recommended Quinoderm by a friend so bought two tube of the stuff. The first few days of using it was ok but by my first week my skin was dry. I used a thick moisturizer and jojoba oil but my skin was still dry. I decided to give it another week but by the second week my skin broke out with spots and even cystic acne which I tend not to have. I told myself that it was just properly an initial reaction to the treatment. However by the end of the third week I've decided to stop using it. My skin at the moment is bumpy with some horrific spots (worse than what they are normally are). This treatment has made my acne worse and has done nothing to prevent or reduce it at all. I'm extremely disappointed in this product as I honestly though it would of cleared my acne up. I've now received an order of the acne.org benzoyl peroxide which is a much less harsher 2.5 % so fingers crossed this product will work for me! :)

Pros:

Clears up your face very fast; excellent stuff.

Cons:

None really. It does leave your face dry after about a week of using it but moisturiser will sort that out for you straight away

Use it. I came on here before thinking about getting any and was overwhelmed by the good reviews - they are all here for a reason! I noticed a small difference straight away and after about 3 days, things really stepped into gear. All the redness was going down, any whiteheads go pretty much overnight to a bit of redness but will take another day to get rid of generally, but it doesn't matter because they become barely noticeable! It does sting when you use it, which is a good sign because you know it's doing something. However, for the first week of using it, my face would become really red where I'd applied it for about an hour or so after because my skin wasn't used to it. So I'd recommend using it way before you think about going out in the morning and in the evening if you know you're staying in. You may also want to put an old towel on your pillow for a while because the cream will bleach the material on your pillow case. After about 10 days, there's a significant diff

Pros:

I am 29 and have suffered with acne for years. Tried lots of different products but this one is really good. Really cleared my skin my complexion looks much better now! Would recommend!

Cons:

My skin was a bit dry at first but that soon cleared once my skin was used to the cream. Also, still tend to break out a little bit around the time of my period.

Overall very good would recommend to anyone who has tried everything like me!
