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.

Pros:

Got rid of my spots and pimples very fast.

Cons:

Dried sin out made it feel sore.

This cream wored very well for me, i had quite bad acne on my chest and after only 3days its cleared 95% of it up. I also had minor acne on my face, and its cleared all of it up minus one spot.... but.... My face now feels very sore and tight, it now has a bumpy dry feeling to it, and when applying makeup it creates dry patches because of the condition of my skin. I have been using aqueous cream (moistouriser for burns) and even this only makes my skin feel good for a few seconds before feeling lie sandpaper. Only use this product if your willing to make the sacrifice: Iv exchanged spotty skin for dry skin... and for me thats better. But soon i might change my mind .

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:

cheap
effective
fast

Cons:

burning sensation?

Amazing product. Been on and off god knows how many pills + antibiotic lotions, but this is it. Started a couple of months ago, you feel a burning sensation at first, dies down within seconds and slap on some moisturiser and hey presto, you're fine. All the big spots died down within about a week and since then all the cystic, whiteheads, blackheads, big fat red spots, whatever .... they've virtually all gone, exposing my scarring and a few red patches that are slowly healing up. Used this for about 3 months now and my god am I the happiest man on earth!

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:

It does work, and is nicely absorbed into the skin unlike panoxyl becasue it is a creamy base

Cons:

does sting (but that mean its works)
takes about week or 2 for skins to adjust to but bare thru it!
if skin does gets too dryflaky apply a light amount of oil free moisturizer!

have tried alot of things (like most people) I would def recommend it, its made a big difference, b4 i use to get numerous big lumpy pimples espically on my cheeks, which effected my confidence alot! since using this in the morning and night (after washing my face with the quinoderm anti bacterial facewash) i now get only 1 or 2 pimples which arent even half as bad as what i use to get SUMMARY: , i wash my face (with face wash) in the morning, pat down with towel, apply cream in blobs on my cheeks, nose, fore head and chine, then join these blobs up so face is covered with thin layer of cream and let it absorb (takes 10 mins) i repeat this routine before i go to bed!!! i would recommend getting it off amazon as saves the embarrassment of going to the store and you can order both the face wash and cream together in one order i first tried the quinoderm 5 but gone onto 10 as i think its more effective....my confidence is alot better!!!!!!

Pros:

Reduces number of blemishes, redness, size of existing spots and prevents new ones from forming! it actually works! :D

Cons:

You have to ask for it over the counter at a pharmacy (some might be embarrassed), can dry you out, can bleach pillowcases if you use it right before bed.

I bought my Quinoderm at Boots - it cost £4-5 for the 50g tube. Its a creamy consistency which i prefer to gels and you only need two pea sized amounts to cover your whole face. Now for me this has been a life saver! I'm 22 and have tried EVERYTHING else, including Roaccutane, until reading about Quinoderm on here. Ok my skin still isn't 100% clear but after only 1 months usage my skin is the clearest its been for many years. I currently have only three visible spots! After the first week my skin did become a bit dry and flakey but i have countered this by using olive oil soap every other day to add some mild moisture. In my opinion this cream is well worth a try. Its worked wonders for me - I hope it does for you too!

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.
