Pros:

Works
Can be bought otc in the UK

Cons:

Because its a cream it can appear sometimes when you sweat.

I started using this around 6 months ago as a stop gap after running out of Dan's gel and have stuck with it since. Its been a lucky find. It seems to do the job and I think my face is more suited to a cream as I can remember having good results with the Neutrogena ots cream way back. Its great knowing you can pop down to boots when you run out.

Pros:

cheap, can by at the chemist or online, easy to use, works really well

Cons:

can dry the skin, can sting a little at first, bleaches towels

this stuff is a savior, it works, plain and simple, wash with clinique anti blemish soap or your favourite cleanser,dry thoroughly, apply quinoderm cream to the face avoiding the eye area, use aloe vera 99.9% gel to dry areas if you get any flaky patches of skin, repeat twice and day and you should see results! start with 10% and if too drying step down to the 5% but keep the 10% handy if yo ufeel a spot coming on apply this on the area overnight

Best. Thing. EVER

Pros:

So affordable
Really does work
Lasts a long time

Cons:

Always out of stock

It takes a lot to convince me to give 5 starts to ANY sort of product. But this treatment is the only thing that has ever worked for my troublesome hormonal acne. It takes a while at first to work but once it starts to work it's like you don't even recognise your skin. Everyone with acne problems should seriously try this, please.

Pros:

cheap
easy to apply
it actually works!!!

Cons:

takes a while to work in the beginning
difficult to get hold of in UK at the minute due to manufacturing problems
can make skin extremely dry if you use too much.

After trying for years with antibiotics, contraceptive pills, and various creams/cleansers this has finally worked! It made it worse at first, three weeks in of using it I had the worst cystic acne I've had in a long time and was just about to give up. But then after that I haven't had a single new spot appear! I don't even use it every day, only a few times a week now so my skin doesn't get too dry and i'm completely spot free!

Pros:

Helped control acne and oil initially. Used at bedtime after washing face with Oxy Wash. Needed a good anti-sebum moisturiser during the day. Worked a miracle with Erythromycin

Cons:

After prolonged use, effect wears off unless other treatments are added

Helped me banish my acne!

Pros:

Very Cheap, you can buy it in so many places, can wear it under make-up, and most importantly - it works!!!

Cons:

Results are addictive - even when my skin is clear, I still use it and worry that my skin will get bad over night if I don't!

I have suffered from acne for the past ten years, and have come to terms with the fact I will never truly be rid of it. However, Quinoderm has brought it completely under my control - I no longer get large, painful cyst-like spots, and I swear my skin heals faster! My scarring seems to have faded also. My skin has also developed a restance to its drying effects, and I feel confident using an ordinary, non-acne-treatment cleanser. Excellent product - I just hope they keep making it!! Bottom line is, I started using Quinoderm 4 years ago, and my acne has gone from severe and soul destroying to the odd hangover pimple. Maybe its a result of getting older, but nevertheless, my skin has recovered miraculously from its pre-quinoderm damage.

Amazing results!
I had mild acne on my forehead and it made me feel so low and lowered my confidence a lot, nothing I tried seemed to work and I'd been trying to clear my skin for 6 months. My mam's friend who is a pharmacist recommended quinoderm 5% cream and at first i was extremely wary of using it as I didn't want my skin to become worse. However I decided to use it, for the first few weeks, the smell of the cream was so strong and every time I put it on it made my skin sting and turn red. After a week or so of using it my skin became very dry and started to peel, so every day I gently buffed the area using a cotton pad and small circular motions to remove the dead skin. Along with this I used the vitamin E moisture lotion and oil from the body shop to keep my skin moisturised. After a few weeks of this, my skin stopped peeling, the irritation and redness stopped and the smell of the cream was much less noticeable for me. I've now been using the cream for three months and I don't have a single spot, so happy I used it and a lot of people ask me what I used to clear my skin, would definitely recommend it to anyone! :D (Along with using the cream, I was very strict with my skin routine, I improved my diet, drank more water, did more exercise and tried to reduce stress levels as much as possible.)

Pros:

Cleared my skin up. LOVE IT.

Really good value for money. I got three tubes for about £10 and it lasts for ages.

Cons:

It does dry your skin out a bit and this can someime make it a bit red but this lessens after the first few weeks. Just make sure you moisturize well.

Bleaches fabrics

It does take time but then so does everything when it comes to acne. You just have to stick with it. I've been using it morning and evening for nearly a year now and my skin has improved massively. I would say this time last year I had moderate acne and now I only get the occassional spot now and then. I can't live without it.

Pros:

Very effective, inexpensive, readily available.

Cons:

This cream really dries out your skin, it stings a little when you put it on (not really a con in my opinion, but just so you know).

I initially only bought this 10% Quinoderm Cream while waiting for my acne.org regimen to arrive. I do not have very severe acne compared to some other people and the photos I've seen on this site, but I do suffer from an ongoing attack of lots of red, angry, pussy spots, especially around my mouth and cheeks. This cream has really worked in clearing up my problem areas. Everyone says it dries out your skin, and it does, it really dried out mine, so just make sure you moisturise, because I didn't. My acne.org order arrived this morning, I ordered the regimen, the AHA+ and the Jojoba oil. I've been very impressed by the Quinoderm cream, it really cleared up my spots. I'll let you know how I get on with Dan's PB. I really recommend it.

Pros:

Effectively treats spots

Cons:

Dries out skin

Tried many spot treatments- this is by far the most effective for me. Dries out skin, but nothing a bit of moisturiser can't fix! :)
