Pros:

Works from day one. Skin feels smoother. I'm actually using bio-oil as a moisturiser and some Johnson's facewash with grapefruit and the results are amazing.I use it everyday in the morning and at night before sleep. I haven't had any skin irritation

Cons:

Definately needs to be used in conjunction with a moisturiser. If you have a recurring skin problem, don't stop the treatment. Your spots will return in a couple of days after you stop usage.

An amazing product. I haven't had luck with the Quinoderm facewash though. That seems harsher on the skin. You definately won't regret having this stuff in your toiletry cabinet. A dermatologist actually recommended this to me as a teenager and I thought I 'd never need it again. Lately i've had some frequent break outs which are leaving marks and recurring. So Quinoderm cream with Bio-oil are working wonders for me. Looking at everyones comments I've realised that it's actually overpriced down here.

Pros:

-Works really well
- In a creamy base so not harsh
- Value for money (only £3.80 per 50g tube)

Cons:

- Need to purchase in a pharmacy over here in the UK ( not a big deal though)

I am using Quinoderm 5 with the regimen and my skin is almost clear with a few red marks and light brown scars. As we don't get a variety of benzoyl peroxide creams/gels here, Quinoderm was the cheapest and probably most gentle BP I have used and much better than Panoxyl which was horrendous and dried me up like a prune or even Neutrogena. As it's in a creamy base, it's easy to rub in and blends great with most moisturising lotions and I just apply my makeup over it, unlike Panoxyl which emusifies and turns into white gloop over my face. I highly recommend it to folks who live here in the UK .

Pros:

If you use it twice a day i garauntee that your spots will calm down within hours and disappear completely with continued use. This really is almost too good to be true-it works so well and it is so cheap.

Cons:

The cream can at times be very drying leaving you with 'face dandruff' but this usually disappears within a day. Who cares if it can bleach fabrics if it totally prevents spots!

You simply cannot buy a more effective, inexpensive, non-prescription acne treatment. I cannot understand how more people aren't talking about/using this product-it's just amazingly good.

Pros:

only product that has worked, cleared up all my spots after 2 months.

Cons:

dryness at first but goes after a month. when you start using it start with small amounts and a good moisturiser to lessen the dryness.

it really works! i now use this once or twice a day around the nose area and i haven't had spots in months. if i forget to use a for a few nights i will get one or two but they go quickly.

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:

works really well! cheap and more effective than any other product

Cons:

can make skin rather dry and does smell a bit like antiseptic cream.
Once made my entire face itchy, red and swollen for 24 hours!

A good product, although take care if you have sensitive skin. Better than prescription antibiotics!

Pros:

not sure yet

Cons:

stings a bit, able to handle it though

just started using quinoderm today, like many others on this site i have tried everything and nothing works. slightly worried about my skin getting dried out, even though i would rather that to spots. just wondering about the people who say the use moisteriser along with quinoderm, do you use them at the same time? or use the moisteriser and then the quinoderm after a while?

Pros:

Effective at getting rid of spots

Cons:

Burning
Dry skin
Redness

This treatment is amazing, it gets rid of spots within a few days! I get maybe 3 spots a month i apply quinoderm to each spot individually I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR PEOPLE WITH ACNE DESPITE WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOTTLE. If you use this on each spot you can easily exfoliate the dry skin off sucessfully and reduce redness. Also if you have sensitive skin this treatment IS NOT FOR YOU. But for normal skin YES for acne ridden skin NO.
