Pros:

Brings all the nastiness out of your skin and almost gets rid of it overnight. Fantastic price. You can really feel and see it working.

Cons:

Yes it does sting I fan my face for a little while after but I would rather it sting and work than carry on having zero confidence due too spots

At the age of 28 I have always suffered spots but as I am getting older they appear too be getting worse as opposed too calming down, I am only on my second day of using this cream but from my personal oppinion I really like it, I apply it 3 times a day and when I woke this morning after using it for bed I instantly saw a difference, my spots that are big and ugly all around my chin, cheeks and even above my top lip and forehead seemed too have reduced alot in both size and redness, I do have some whiteheads today but I think that's the cream bringing out the nastiness too be honest and I am not picking at them like I was before.I am getting married in 2012 and I am really hoping this carries on working well for me as I would love too walk down the aisle full of confidence unlike these days where I walk around with my face at the ground :( I am going too change my diet aswell along side this cream as I think that will help too so fruit, veg, water and quinoderm here I come, and spots can move aside!!! U really should try this product! It may work for some and not others but it's worth a go! P.s this is ny first time using this cream and u am using the 10% one. Good luck x

Pros:

Dries out oily skin, keeps it oil free, gets to work within just a few days, really helps prevent new spots when used constantly.

Cons:

Stings for a minute when you first use it and makes skin go flaky - also can stain things like pillow cases, towels etc and hair !! don't get it too close to ur hairline or on ur eyebrows !

I have been using this cream for 3 weeks now and it has made my skin soooo much better !! i would recommend the 5% one because its not too weak or too strong... I have had acne since i was about 11-12 and i have used sooo many creams and tablets and lotions, but the simple stuff really is the best.. don't try prescription creams or tablets or anything from your doctor until you have tried this cream because you could find yourself saving a lot of hassle and money ! It does make your skin go slightly flaky but that only lasts about 1-2 weeks and if you exfoliate really gently it will gradually remove the dead skin.. if you dont want to get that flakey skin at all, then use an oil free moisturiser, MAKE SURE IT SAYS OIL FREE, and then just put the quinoderm ontop as normal - i wash my face n put the cream on about twice a day sometimes 3 times. I would defo recommend this to anyone :)

Pros:

Clears up spots well, especially if used daily and not just on individual spots when they arise
Very cheap

Cons:

Slight sting at first but this disappears
If used too much, makes skin dry and red

Definitely would recommend it, I have sensitive skin but the stinging wasn't unbearable, and it helped clear up most of my spots :)

Pros:

It dries up spots super quick. I know a few people with acne roseaca... doesnt help them at all. But for me it works wonders...!! it dries up spots over night and if you use it for a week or two it makes them die down alot

Cons:

doesnt get rid of them completly, dries out the skin but fixable with some mouisturier.

great product!! definatly recomend to any one for a pretty quick fix. I smuther it on which i dont think helps in much just blocks up the pores so i recomend to any one using it to only put a little on. !!! also if u like to wear foundation dont put quinoderm on before you put foundation on as it sticks to the quindoerm and makes you look awful. works best overnight. then mouistourise in the morning.

Pros:

-Works wonders
-Cheap
-Easy to apply
-

Cons:

-Dries a bit the skin (that's why I use moisturizing cream in the morning)
-A bit ouchy

Derm prescribed me this cream along with one other. I used to hate this cream at first cause It was really hurtful. Finally, it became my fave cream! It dries nicely the pimple and scars are hardly noticeable! :) Nice product over the counter If you have mild-moderate acne but I doubt it would work If your acne is severe!

Pros:

Really works

Cons:

Can burn sensitive skin

I've suffered with acne for years but also have sensitive skin. I have tried everything and have found this cream works better than anything! I literally touch a spot (not the area around it though) with the smallest amount max once a day otherwise i go red and blotchy and can blister. I would still recommend it.

A recommended treatment! (If used correctly...)

Pros:

Works somewhat quickly
Very effective
Cheap

Cons:

Stings a little bit after about a week of application
It has bleach in it, so keeping it from my dyed hair is a constant worry.
Smells plasticy

I've been using quinoderm for about 2-3 weeks now, starting on the 5%. As a teenager, acne is one of my biggest insecurities, so I was looking for an item that would clear it right up. Before using, I read some of the reviews about it and a lot had mentioned red skin and flakiness, which left me somewhat skeptical, however, to date I have not experienced any of these side effects, which surprised me as I wouldn't tend to moisturise often. The pharmacist had said I should only really use it at night before sleeping, which is what I have been doing. Over 2-3 weeks I have gone from mild acne to hardly any at all! I'm very pleased with the results and I intend to continue using this product.
