Pros:

On first using it, it completely cleared my skin up and smoothed over bumps on my forehead.

However i've had to start changing from how often I use it to try and find the right balance so I don't get too dry skin.

Cons:

After a while a started to get a fair bit of dry skin. Mind you I did have combination skin to begin with and my sister who had more oily skin has found it hasn't dried out hers and her spots are still gone!

it wouldn't stop me using it thoug

If you use this, you're gonna need a moisturiser -i'm yet to find the perfect one, If only they could release a specific moisturiser designed to work with quinoderm! It works, oh it does work.. but after a while you'll need to find a balance finding how much to put on, how often, when to put on your moisturiser (as you don't want to stop the quinoderm working).. As it varies from person to person you'll need to find what works for you. I'd recommend it, especially to those with oily skin. I bought a bigger tube in the UK at a local pharmacy for £4something

Pros:

I used it for a few days and i saw great improvement. Really nice but expensive where i live since only one store sells it.

Cons:

burns sometimes
kinda smell bad
leaves skin flaky

Its great trust me. I dont think it should be sold for so much money but its great. Us3ed it for like a week and saw improvement but used it with a blemish control soap called Black Opal.

Pros:

Best product on sale, clears blocked pores, fades scarring, evens out skin tone And most importantly .. IT WORKS!!

Cons:

Flakey Skin, Some slight burning when over used.

This product is one of the best products at controlling acne. I have tried roactutane, differin, retinol A and every other product out there for acne! My routine is i use clearasil stayclear face wash, once a day i use quinoderm, ifrared lamp (ITS AMAZING) and Vasalene moisturiser Aloe Vera one .. Calms the skin and DOES NOT block pores. I have had acne 10years and now my face is clear!! Remem if you want your acne gone then the best way is to treat it !!

Pros:

None at all

Cons:

Made me look like a beetroot, made me nearly want to itch my face off, smells horrible, doesn't work at all, made my skin extremely dry.

I read reviews about people using this product got dry itchy skin, and I overlooked it as i've used a lot of different products on my skin over time, but JESUS none of them have EVER done what this product has done to me. I used the tinyest, little dab on the few spots I have left last night before I went to bed, and i'm literally writing this as soon as I woke up, I didn't have more than 2 hours sleep, first my face was burning, then the itching came, at 3:00 am I went to get a drink of water and saw my face was bright red, it was stinging all over and felt horrible, even opening my mouth hurt. Then my throat started to swell up too and now it feels like i've got a sore throat. Seriously this stuff is evil, I can't really say whether it works or not because i'm throwing it away right now, after just one application i'll never go back to that - it's not worth it, nothing is worth that - makes you look even worse, and feel - terrible. You have been warned!

Pros:

Very Cheap, you can buy it in so many places, can wear it under make-up, and most importantly - it works!!!

Cons:

Results are addictive - even when my skin is clear, I still use it and worry that my skin will get bad over night if I don't!

I have suffered from acne for the past ten years, and have come to terms with the fact I will never truly be rid of it. However, Quinoderm has brought it completely under my control - I no longer get large, painful cyst-like spots, and I swear my skin heals faster! My scarring seems to have faded also. My skin has also developed a restance to its drying effects, and I feel confident using an ordinary, non-acne-treatment cleanser. Excellent product - I just hope they keep making it!! Bottom line is, I started using Quinoderm 4 years ago, and my acne has gone from severe and soul destroying to the odd hangover pimple. Maybe its a result of getting older, but nevertheless, my skin has recovered miraculously from its pre-quinoderm damage.

Pros:

Better than clean and clear and clearasil and other brands! Gets Rid Of Spots Extremely Fast! Best Product on the market! Good price!

Cons:

Leaves you with very very dry flakey skin, you need to use moisturiser (nivea) to get your skin back to normal.

Quality!!!! Sacrifice spots for dry skin any day! well worth the price! get it bought! you wont be disappointed with its performance!!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Doesn't work at all! Quinoderm 10% dried out skin and didn't clear up acne. Quinoderm 5% did not make any difference just more comedones.

Waste of time and money.
