Pros:

Spots do go reasonably quickly

Cons:

Extremely dry skin and redness!!!!!

I have suffered from acne for years but always just 'put up with it' but had a really bad outbreak and a friend recommended to me. The first 3 days i used it there were no problems and my spots got noticeably better, but on day 4 my skin went really really red and dry and itched terribly to the point of wanting to stratch my face off!!! I am moisturising but as at day 5 it still looks and feels as bad, maybe i just over used it wanting the results or it did not agree with me. I would recommend but proceed with caution.........

Pros:

Attacks acne fervently, is probably the most efficient spot cream in the business.

Cons:

Results may decrease after a month of application.

Starts off well, but soon loses its spice.

Pros:

Really drys out spots , smooths skin , cheap.

Cons:

Smells a bit odd. Bleaches towels . sometimes dries out skins and causes flaking.

Despite the cons , it really helps with my acne and the dryness can be sorted with a strong moisturiser !!

Pros:

Is the only product that has worked for me - ever.
Is very affordable
IT WORKS!!

Cons:

Dries up your skin
You feel a burning sensation when first using this product - although this does go away after the first few weeks

I have tried pretty much every spot treatment out there and Quinoderme is the only one, i repeat, the ONLY ONE that has worked for me! Yes, it did make my skin exceedingly dry and flaky for the first few weeks, but you can use this treatment and moisturise which i find balances out my skin to a perfect level! I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone that suffers from acne, it is a life saver!

Pros:

Fast acting, good price and has sorted out my skin =D

Cons:

Slight burning sensation at first but my skin has got used to it now

I am actaully amazed by this cream! After 2 days i was noticing a major difference and it has made me more happier. I have been suffering from spots along my jaw line and around my chin for the past 4 months. I have the contraceptive implant in my arm and recently my hormones have been all over the shop and it has caused me to have terrible skin. At first i used clearasil face wash and it burnt my face like hell and left me with major dry flakey skin around my nose and chin. Now i just wash my face with Clean and Clear face wash in the morning and night and apply Quinoderm afterwards! 100% impressed with this product

Pros:

Cleared up spots quickly and effectively.

Cons:

A bit of irritation and soreness - but hey spots or dry skin? It wasn't a difficult choice.

The best product I have used. Drys out your skin and has reduced my spots amazingly. I am 100% happy with this and the little side effect of dry skin....who cares - moisturise.

VERY VERY DRY skin when u use it, Burns Alot Feels like my face is on fire when i use it

Quinoderm can be good in some cases but im not sure i have uses it for about 4 days no wand my skin is so dry mosturiser cant even help it people will probably say then dont use it so often but i only use it once a day im gonna start to use it once every 2 days and if that doesnt work then i might change to a lower consistence with 5%

Pros:

Worked after only a couple of days!

Cons:

Currently on day 4 and it does dry skin a little but once I realised this after day 2 I just cut down on using it in the morning. It is really not a problem at all as I am just not overdoing it with the cream.

I broke out in spots on my chin very badly due to coming off the pill. Months later (even going back on the pill) my skin had still not cleared up. I have been trying to avoid going on Dianette (the contraceptive). I found out about this cream and got the 5%. Within a couple of days my skin is almost 100% smooth to touch, no new spots have arrived yesterday or today, and the old ones are clearing fast. It is so cheap, works quick, and you get it over the counter from Boots. Excellent. Although, it will be interesting to see whether it totally clears the skin or whether I have to rely on continued use.
