Pros:

Clears Acne in 3-5 Days
Keeps clear when using daily
Really Works

Cons:

Can sting
Can dry skin
Can mess dyed fabrics

Starts to work on first app, may cause skin to burn or sting and turn red. Once a few days past it will not hurt anymore, you may need to moisturize but be thankful you will have smooth spot free skin within a week. I have used this for just under 6months, my confidence is through the roof now without spots. I would advise sensitive skin to use the "5" then move to 10 after a few weeks, however many can use 10 with a decent moisturizer.

Pros:

Commpletely clears skin !

Cons:

Dries skin& causes red marks & flakynessBUT >

BBUUUYY iTTTTT had really really ad spots for years & it was putting my confidence down alot, so i tryed quinoderm, at first it really stings but i carryed on. For the first week& a half the was red marks around the places wer had no spot, ut no my skin is used to it theyve gone. My skin got really flaky as well, but heres the trick to get it to go away, for the 1st week or so DONT use moisturiser, let your skin produce it itself. My skins completely adapted now, so ihave a spot clear non flaky or red face:)

Pros:

clears 60-80% acne fast
reduces oily skin

Cons:

putting it on in the morning and being exposed to the sun can cause hyperpigmentation which i unfortununtley didnt know until i got it ;/

wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser and use this only at night after you wash your face and you'll be able to control your acne and almost completely clear it within 1-3 weeks

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:

Clears up spots well, makes them less red and generally smoothens the skin.

Cons:

It has made my average strength skin very slightly dry.

I have only used this product 4 times (once the night I got it, twice the next day-morning and evening- and once this morning-to be used again later- and it has work amazingly! In under 48 hours my skin looks a lot better and all the spots on the left side of my back (which was less affected) have all calmed down and my right side (which was badly affected) is still less red, smoother and the spots are smaller. My chest was also affected with a few big spots scattered about (not many smaller ones) and they are all less red and some have disappeared. What I do is I put some Clearasil clean and refine on my back and chest. Then in the shower I scrub the stuff off my back and wash the cream on my chest off without a sponge, just in the shower stream. I then dry myself and apply the Quinoderm cream. This has worked really well and i hope it carries on. Seriously try it!

Brill stuff i would recommend quinoderm cream to anyone i have always been lucky and had clear skin but here i am 30 something :)and got like a hormonal acne breakout been using quinoderm cream 10% for almost a week now, skin is softer spots are gone and red marks are fading have also found after using quinoderm face wash in the morning then applying cream it does tingle and skin feels heated but lasts like 5mins or so not much discomfort at all considering the plus side. i do apply makeup over it and the best thing i found is makeup foundation stays on all day!! another + it doesnt seem to slide or go shiney. i havent found quinoderm to be too drying but guess after prolonged use it could. hope this helps anyone making their mind up on buying quinoderm cream. its cheap as chips and zaps the zits!! go buy some u know ya wanna!!!

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.
