Pros:

Worked almost immediately to start controlling my mild - moderate acne (mainly on my cheeks and forehead). Skin is already much smoother and I'm so much more confident after only 2 weeks use.

Cons:

Smell isn't great, and packaging is horrible - no one wants a big blue tube saying 'acne' in their bathroom cabinet! It would be better if it was more subtle. It's also causing some slight dryness on certain parts of my face.

This is working for me overall, but just wondering if the additional peeling and dryness stops at any point? I've been using it a couple of weeks and it is leaving some small dry patches on my face. I'm controlling it with moisturiser, but just wondered whether this is something that will get better as my skin gets used to quinoderm or not?

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Its a fab cream best i have ever tried and basically the only cream i use!!!! I have used it for yrs i find the 10% good prob as i am used to it but newcomers prob best with 5% at first as can be drying.

Cons:

can bleach fabric so be careful if you put it on for bed and watch your towels!!

excellent value for money works best of you use a plain soap like simple or glycerin soap to wash your face then apply morning and night to any pimples or spots, skin can go pink and dry at first but after a while its fine and skin gets used to this. buy it and try it ;-)

None

do not use this cream it has bleach in it. I used it and I woke up the next morning with my skin bright red and puffy, IT BLEACHED ME, I am in a lot of pain and have to go through utter embarrassment of a red swollen up face for two weeks, due to this cream, I strongly recommend NEVER TO USE IT.

Pros:

Helps with acne in time.
Especially effective in the T-zone (for tiny frequent spots)
Quinoderm 5 is the most ideal thing for the Regimen in the UK I feel.
Vastly reduces the frequency of larger cysts and inflammatory spots.
The cheapest thing ever!

Cons:

Vastly drying.
Hard to wear makeup over the top without looking like a cakey flaking mess.

This stuff is quite amazing I use it regularly as part of my Regimen. I've been using it for about 6 weeks and it really has made a difference especially to my t zone area which flared after I started working nights at a rock club. However you will need to use a decent oil free moisturiser with this one as it dries you out something chronic! I recommend Dermalogica Active Moist as it delivers enough moisture to get rid of flakes (and allow foundation to be applied over the top) but without being a massive clogger! Back to Quinoderm 5, it's readily available at Boots or [link removed] where you can bulk buy :D Which is good news for us Regimen users in the UK! I wouldn't get the full strength Quinoderm unless you have real tough skin like a baby rhino cos that stuff is way too harsh to use with the Regimen!

Pros:

- Cleared up some spots on my forehead

Cons:

- Face swelled up within two days of usage
- Itchy and Sore
- Rash developed on my cheeks

I'd heard things about this being good for spots but can leave skin dry and sore. After two uses my face got slightly red but manageable and considering that that is on the side effects I didn't worry. I used it two more times and woke up with extremely sore red and itchy skin and a swollen face. I moisturize day and night and now I'm trying desperately to bring down the swelling.
