Pros:

Cons:

dries the skin a lot an can sometimes sting a little.

works well but i think it would work better with a routine... can anybody tell me a routine pleaseeee????

Pros:

Works better than other Benzoyl Peroxide creams.It also dries up oily skin well.

Cons:

Can overly dry your skin if it's sensitive, maybe start with the 5% cream.

It's worth trying. Although I still get spots, Quinoderm manages them well and seems to stop them appearing. It is best to use it in conjunction with an individual spot cream as well for stubborn spots. Good luck!

Pros:

Used it for a few days and my spots disappeared!

Cons:

My skin is really dry anyway but, the cream left it worse than ever. Really dry and flaky skin! And it really stings, but after a certain period of time applying, stinging decreases. Got it near my eyes once and they swell like balloons, so be careful!

Best spot treatment ever. Surprisingly cheap and most of all effective!

Pros:

Works well

Cons:

Really dries out your skin and makes it really red and itchy

Because it dries out your skin so quick you have to make sure you apply a lot of moisturiser. To be honest I found just washing my face when I woke up and before I went to bed with soap and water and using a flannel or wash cloth worked much better. My spots were gone within a few weeks and my skin wasn't red and itchy. Using quindoderm for a few weeks make my skin really uncomfortable and because I had to keep applying moisturiser made my skin even worse and I got more spots.

Pros:

Cheap
Works

Cons:

Bleaches clothes

I tried this after trying various salicylic acid combos with little success. This has an immediate effect. Skin was tighter, drier and acne was clearing. The only problem is that it bleaches clothes. I've had to toss out 3 t-shirts and two towels due to very obvious bleaching. Not a good thing if you're trying to keep your acne battles private

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:

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:

Dries up everything, little and big spots

Cons:

Some drying of the skin if you overuse it. Worst bit - does smell a bit strange, but nothing to worry about - had to find something bad about it!

Very good product. Loads of rave reviews, and thats no coincidence, this really is the best treatment i've ever tried. Everyone says they've tried everything, i'm the same, and i came back to quinoderm because it works the best! Dryingis only an issue if you use too much in my experience, but if for you it does dry, an oil-free moisturiser works perfectly well without contradicting quinoderm.

Pros:

REMARKABLE difference - seems to kill all the badness underneath the surface which a lot of products promise but never work!!! Sinks into the skin beautifully and when used at night the results in the morning are AMAZINGLY better ! DEFINITELY worthy!

Cons:

No dryness on my part - I know PanOxyl can dry your skin out a lot as I used this and it made me look and feel like a monster because of the dryness but Quinoderm because it's a cream seems a lot milder !!!

Have had mild bad skin for a few years now and have tried EVERYTHING (prescriptions, clearasil, oxy, pan oxyl, freederm, retanin-A, dianette etc) and can honestly say that quinoderm is BY FAR the BEST product i have EVER used) NO side effects, NO nasty dryness, redness or irritation, just clears up spots a treat and leaves you feeling and looking much better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
