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:

It works, though not instantly, in fact not even reasonably soon. i have been using it for a month now and can see an improvement in my skin, but the acne sure aint gone! also dont expect a smooth steady improvement in your skin. you will still have breakouts and skin may yo-yo around alot but overall you will notice an improvement. id say about 3 months before i'll start looking really clear.

Cons:

can dry out your skin if you're sensitive, but thankfully mine didn't, just moisturize!

Definetely worth a try if you havent already, great value for money as well, about a fiver for a 50 gram tube.

Pros:

Cleared up my spots

Cons:

dried out skin

This cleared up my spots really well. I've tried hundreds of creams before, from off the shelf remedies to specialist products from dermatologists costing over £100. This is the only thing that has worked for me so far and it's made a dramatic difference to my skin. The only side effect is that it makes my skin really dry. I used the 10% cream at first and this burnt my face and I came out in a horrible rash. I now use the 5% cream, at first for 2/3 days a week until I got used to it. I'm now using it every day (only once a day though) alongside Garnier Hydralock cream to combat the dryness and this seems to be working. I think it's worth the initial dry skin to clear up the acne as dry skin is so easy to treat. I've now been using Quinoderm for 4 weeks and the difference in my skin is amazing. My skin is really sensitive but I've managed to control the side effects so i'd definitely recommend it.

its ok
I had bad acne on my forehead and it cleared it up I find it also helps with my oily skin too. When I first used it it wasn't pleasant I had dry skin, redness and I felt a burning sensation. I used 10% then and still do now I find if I don't apply this on my face especially my forehead I break out like mad and my skin is very oily so this keeps it under control. At first its not pleasant but your skin gets use to it and it will help clear your acne and control it!

Pros:

It actually works!

Cons:

Stings a little, doesnt smell too good and can bleach fabrics.

It might sound like a cliché but I have tried EVERYTHING and this is the ONLY thing which has worked for me. Ok I'm 26 and get spots on a regular basis not big one but little annoying ones which leave blemishes in the end. I have tried every cream going and every herbal treatment. I have changed my diet (which I still believe is a contributing factor to acne whether its major or minor factor is still debatable). I had ran out of my usual PanOxyl Gel and went into my sisters room who was advised by her doctor to use Quinoderm so I thought I'd use it and buy more PanOxyl the next day. Well after using it and seeing the results the next morning I decided never to use PanOxyl ever again as this was so much better, less drying, no red marks and my spots had calmed down considerably. After using it for 2 weeks there has been a major improvement to my skin-Thank god for Quinoderm!

Pros:

Is the only product that has worked for me - ever.
Is very affordable
IT WORKS!!

Cons:

Dries up your skin
You feel a burning sensation when first using this product - although this does go away after the first few weeks

I have tried pretty much every spot treatment out there and Quinoderme is the only one, i repeat, the ONLY ONE that has worked for me! Yes, it did make my skin exceedingly dry and flaky for the first few weeks, but you can use this treatment and moisturise which i find balances out my skin to a perfect level! I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone that suffers from acne, it is a life saver!

Pros:

Works better than any other product I have used. Clears acne within a few days. It definitely works!! :)

Cons:

May dry out your skin a little but as long as you use moisturiser, your skin will feel better. Can be addictive as well!

I have suffered from acne for about 5 years. I have been using this product for over a year now and it has reduced all irritations completely. I occaisonally get the odd spot, but a small amount would clear it up it no time. However, I have found that the cream is rather addictive...when the tube does run out, I find that, for a few days, a few spots and irritations do appear. If you cannot get hold of this cream for a while and your acne is appearing again, use facial washes and masks, these may not work as well as strong topical creams, but they do cleanse and tone your skin. I would strongly recommend this product!! :)

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
