Pros:

- Works extremely fast
- Reduced: Breakouts, Skin redness, amount of inflamed spots, whiteheads.
- REDUCED MY ACNE BY 70% WITHIN A WEEK
- Super cheap
- Didn't dry out my skin (my skin is very sensitive too)

Cons:

- Can be a tiny bit itchy/stingy
- Too much in one application = red face for a few hours, but it goes after maybe 5 hours and your normal skin colour returns.

This product in conjunction with Lymecycline antibiotics saved my skin, and it saved me from going on Roaccutane. Effects were noticed overnight for me, (moderately severe acne for 7 years). the product works extremely fast! ***TRY IT***

Pros:

Mostly clear skin.
Clear complexion.
No more millions of tiny bumps all over skin.

Cons:

Dried my skin out horrendously in first few weeks.
Made my skin very red in first 2 weeks.
Burns like hell sometimes (depending on how irritable my skin that day)

I think this is a product that needs a little time and patience. I've been using it for a month and its only just started to clear up a few days ago. I noticed it was clearing up the small spots almost straight away. However, it seemed as though I had traded acne for very tight, red dry skin. But with frequent use my skin got used to it and now its only a tiny bit dry but nothing a bit of moisture could fix. I've tried loads of different products before including Proactive, dermalogica and various doctor prescribed antibiotic topical treatments. This seems to be the only thing that's working. Cheaper is better for me. A quick tip though.. I've found that oily or super moisturizing moisturisers are tempting but give you spots in the dries bits. I use oil free blemish moisturiser by clean &clear and its really working.

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.

Pros:

Clears spots and prevents breakouts.
Cheap.

Cons:

Dries out skin.
Takes time to have an effect.
Reddens skin.

I should say that I use the regular Quinoderm cream with 10% compared to 5%. I've tried many acne treatments with varying success. This has been the only treatment with significantly noticeable effects. On the packet it says to use it 2-3 times a day. I advise to use it just before you go to bed and at any other point when you will not be seeing anybody. It reddens the skin and makes it appear much worse than before. I also would recommend using a good moisturiser as the skin is dried severely. My routine goes as follows: Apply Quinoderm when I get home from school. Apply Quinoderm 4 hours or so later. Apply moisturiser before going to bed. Wash off moisturiser and cream in the morning. Apply another layer of moisturiser in the morning to mask dry skin. This prevents reddening and dryness during the day and makes skin appear more natural. Although it is frustrating, the key to success with acne and this cream is patience.

Pros:

Clears spots and calms them down lots in just one treatment.

Cons:

dries skin, redness. if you miss a day spots come back fast and sore!

I would recomend to anyone suffering with acne, tried alsorts from chemists and from my gp, nothing works for more than a week. Then my friend told me about this!, i use along side with the Quinoderm Non-comedogenic antibacterial facewash.

Pros:

none!

Cons:

rubs in quickly, more moisturising than the panoxyl, works really well :)

My skin is sooo much better since using this. Panoxyl was making my skin dry and flaky and seemed to take ages to sink in, wasnt helping my spots much either. As long as you wash your hands thoroughly and wait after applyinf a few mins, you should not harm clothes. None of mine are bleached or discoloured and am using twice a day!

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! :)

Pros:

Does the job nicely
Can see results the next day

Cons:

Leaves the skin dry
Stings a little after applying
Leaves redness after about two days of using

Gets rid of spots right away but I guess I need to keep using it fot about another week or two. Leaves the skin dry so I think its best to apply at night, go to bed and when you wake up put some oil free moisturizer. As others said apply to all the affected area (I just put it on my whole face cause I have spots on my chin, cheeks but close to the nose and nose aswell and my forehead.) I would recommend this to anyone having tried everything cause I find that those fancy ones don't work like Clean'n'Clear. Wash your face before applying but DON'T use soap. I found it only worsens spots as it has oils in it. I just splash some water on my whole face. One last thing: when you see some whiteheads DON'T pop them as it will leave a mark for about 2-3 days.

Pros:

Clears spots and acne very affordable.

Cons:

None to me

My skin is very sensitive so i use the cream thrice a weak to minimize the side effects. just wash face with facial wash for sensitive skin (johnsons) and apply at night and with a good moisturizer i am sorted. i have really tried lots of treatments but with this one...i am totally sorted out.

Pros:

Well its cheap and otc which is 2 pros

Cons:

leaves skin dry but unless u dry up the skin u will never clear the acne

I have used almost everything over the years and nothing seems to touch it..i was using freederm before and it really makes your skin red. Moring and night i use Clearsil Ultra..not the face scrub and Quinoderm. I must say i have suffered acne now for 21 years and my new comibination i have seen a really amazing differance..give it a go..nothing to lose..the differnce is better than when i have isolaze last year at skin UK..That cost me 800 GBP but for under a tenner total the differnce is better.
