Pros:

Works Fast

Cons:

Red burning down my neck if to much applied

This stuff really works, what would you prefer loads of zits or a bit of burning. The burning soon disappears to leave non zitty skin. Ive been using this stuff on and of for about 15 years and forgot about it for some years as my skin cleared itself. But then for some reason started to have break outs again. So started to use it again. Never be without it again.

Pros:

Able to obtain for free,
Great for super oily skin,
Effective.

Cons:

Length of time to see noticeable results,
Caution of staining hair and bedding.

I went to go see my GP about the acne on my forehead once again because everything i was prescribed for in the past wasn't working until i was given Quinoderm. This stuff is amazing! Although you must wait a while to see the full effect. I was a little apprehensive at first because the first few days of applying the cream, i noticed more spots occurring but patience is key. The great thing was, i was able to get the cream for free from my GP because i was still in full time education.

Pros:

Dries up acne ( even severe )
Prevents breakouts
Reduces spot size
Works fast
Cheap
Non-prescriptional
Lasts long

Cons:

Flakey skin
Itchiness
Red blotches ( depends on skin e.g. sensitive )
Bleach - meaning it will discolour any material e.g shirt, pillow cases
Stops working for a few weeks, but then starts working again :)

So I have been using Quinoderm ever since mid-February 2012 and during the first week, it did dry up my acne ( keeping in mind i had moderately-severe acne only on my forehead), during the second week it dried up nearly all of my acne though i started to get really dry skin, but it was all fixed up with a bit of moisturizer :)) it stopped working for about 2/3 weeks but then worked as good as ever! overall, i would recommend buying it :) give it a try, but i wouldn't suggest for people with sensitive skin to try this, btw i have normal/combinational skin + oily tzone area :) i hope i helped! hehe

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:

effective
visible results

Cons:

a bit irritating

I will say I don't tend to have a lot of acnes, but most of them are caused by blackheads on my forehead( because of stress ) , and i will squeeze them ( cause scaring and sometimes )they became acnes:( . I use it for one night , and i can already notice that some of the blackhead and large pores are cleared. But of course , it is slightly irritating , I have more of a normal to dry skin, and I will put this on in front of my moisturizer. ( But i will say i can bare the irritation) , It's just i will put more at night then in the morning. I will say that this cream does help , and if you are in a hopeless situation , definately give it a try

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:

I have been trying so many prescriptions for my spots and redness but nothing seemed to work. Friend recommended qunioderm and i think its fantastic. results aren't instant but i definately notice a difference. Worth getting!

Cons:

Burns and stings when you first apply it but then its fine.

Considering i tried prescribed acne treatments and this was £2.49 over the counter...id say its the best stuff iv ever bloody bought!

Pros:

if applied all over the face prevents spots
get rid of blackheads
reduces redness and size of spots within a couple of days
works better than anything else used in the past

Cons:

some dryness and stinging when applied but no worse than other spot treatments I have used

I have suffered with large red painful spots for the last 2 years, nothing has ever worked as good as quinoderm. I have used for 3 days and my skin almost spot free, also no new spots have appeared. It is even reducing a spot I have had for 5 weeks!! Yes my skin is quite dry but I have used it frequently and not really moisturising. I would much rather have slightly dry skin that big spots all over my face. I didn't expect it to get rid of my blackhead so this is an added bonus!! I hope the the benefits keep on coming, because I am so happy since I started using this product.

Pros:

Works
Cheap

Cons:

Itches a bit when sweating
A bit of redness when used 2-3 times a day
Can be a bit drying

This really works for me, I apply it one to two times a day after using the facewash. I haven't found that it bleaches anything really. It can be a bit drying, but nothing that can't be solved by a bit of moisturiser. The only real problem I've had with it is that it I do sometimes get very very faint red patches, but it's a small price to pay for clear skin!

Pros:

for approx. 20 years used this product plus clinique soap and scruffing lotion to have clear skin (no acne, very few spots even though skin is very oily)

Cons:

long term ageing effect on skin maybe
CANNOT wear any clothes without then being ruined/bleached

It helped me live an acne and pretty much spot free life the last 20 years... just occasionally (like now) i feel compelled to search for a solution that does not force me to wear white clothes (or spend a lifetime throwing away clothes only worn a handful of times!)
