Love it (so far) PRESCRIPTION REVIEW.

Pros:

Prevents new spots
Redness reduced in 'hot area'
Not related to contraceptives

Cons:

Bleach is drying on skin
BLEACH CAN RUIN CLOTHES/BEDDING
Slight burning after application

I have had acne for about 5 years now (I am 17) and I FINALLY went to see a doctor about it. When I was 14 I tried the Dianette (Diannette?) contraceptive pill that is altered to improve skin quality as well, but that didn't really make a difference to my very persistent acne. I am also extremely pale so every spot that I have had has it's own little scar somewhere on my face, which is bad enough without a cluster of spots appearing once a week. So I went on Quinoderm 5 and Tetralysal 300mg Hard Capsules (Iymecycline 408mg. Equivalent to 300mg tetracycline base) on Thursday 31st October 2013, and it's now Monday 4th November and I can't remember the last time my skin was this calm. On first application of the cream I noticed no burning or redness, but that has changed now, though it's not bad at all. Obviously, due to the bleach content in the cream I expected flakiness and redness, which I have got, but because I am still only applying it once a day (at night, as directed by the GP) I have no problem as I don't leave the house for at least 8 hours after application. Yesterday I noticed my chin, which is where the majority of the spots reside, is quite dry and flaky. I am now unsure whether I am supposed to apply a moisturiser whilst doing the course of treatment but I have been recommended bio-oil by a fellow acne survivor as it will keep my skin moisturised as well as help with the scarring. I will attempt to edit this review if anything changes dramatically, but I am having a good experience with this cream so far!

Pros:

Works Fast

Cons:

Red burning down my neck if to much applied

This stuff really works, what would you prefer loads of zits or a bit of burning. The burning soon disappears to leave non zitty skin. Ive been using this stuff on and of for about 15 years and forgot about it for some years as my skin cleared itself. But then for some reason started to have break outs again. So started to use it again. Never be without it again.

Pros:

Able to obtain for free,
Great for super oily skin,
Effective.

Cons:

Length of time to see noticeable results,
Caution of staining hair and bedding.

I went to go see my GP about the acne on my forehead once again because everything i was prescribed for in the past wasn't working until i was given Quinoderm. This stuff is amazing! Although you must wait a while to see the full effect. I was a little apprehensive at first because the first few days of applying the cream, i noticed more spots occurring but patience is key. The great thing was, i was able to get the cream for free from my GP because i was still in full time education.

Pros:

effective
visible results

Cons:

a bit irritating

I will say I don't tend to have a lot of acnes, but most of them are caused by blackheads on my forehead( because of stress ) , and i will squeeze them ( cause scaring and sometimes )they became acnes:( . I use it for one night , and i can already notice that some of the blackhead and large pores are cleared. But of course , it is slightly irritating , I have more of a normal to dry skin, and I will put this on in front of my moisturizer. ( But i will say i can bare the irritation) , It's just i will put more at night then in the morning. I will say that this cream does help , and if you are in a hopeless situation , definately give it a try

Pros:

Works
Cheap

Cons:

Itches a bit when sweating
A bit of redness when used 2-3 times a day
Can be a bit drying

This really works for me, I apply it one to two times a day after using the facewash. I haven't found that it bleaches anything really. It can be a bit drying, but nothing that can't be solved by a bit of moisturiser. The only real problem I've had with it is that it I do sometimes get very very faint red patches, but it's a small price to pay for clear skin!

Pros:

Very good at drying up oily spots and oily patches on the skin

Cons:

if you use this too much it may, dry the skin, need to moisturise with something like aqueous cream

Great for drying out spots! a good tip is get aloe vera gel and a few drops of tea tree oil and apply as like face mask and allow it to soak in before you go to bed at night, use a moisturiser if u need to after

Pros:

Actually does what it claims
Reduces redness and drys out spots

Cons:

It's a BP supplement so your face can become addicted to it if used often
Bleaches all materials it comes into contact with including pillows, towels and clothes

I've been using this on and off for the past 4 years and it works great. I have very oily skin so I use it once in the morning and at night. It does dry out your face though so I would recommend using it with a moisturiser to combat flakes.
