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 ;-)

AWFUL

Pros:

None

Cons:

Bleaches your skin
Makes you go red
Hurts like hell

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!

April 5, 2009

Pros:

Fight spots fast. Cheap compared to other types. Easy to find. No main side effects

Cons:

Dry skin after using it for a month or so. I mean, kinda bad, if you reaply water to the face it eventually goes towards the afternoon. I have used moist-creams befor, but they often bring back spots.
If you stop using this cream, YOUR SPOTS WILL

a product that finally works, thank you

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:

works resnobly well, quite cheap

Cons:

changed the coulour of my skin, but kindof ina good way, look tanned and it stains cloths towels ect

why not try it ?, it wasn't as amazing for me as i thought, but i think it helps
January 8, 2008

Pros:

Great! Amazing actually.

Cons:

Stings like hell. Don't try using it straight after washing your face with soap. My face was burning quite painfully for a few hours. Just wash face then apply.

The bottom line is that it's great. Also, try to apply it one or two fingers I think.
October 1, 2007

Pros:

clears up spots really quickly

Cons:

I've noticed if you don't wash your hands after you've used it and touch coloured clothes it can take colour out!!

Don't know how i used to live without this cream, within days of using it i noticed how clear and smooth my skin looked. Quinoderm 5 cream is what i used, i found that quinoderm 10 was a little bit too strong and really dried out my skin but definitley better having dry skin than a face full of spots!!
