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:

Really works!

Cons:

Dries you out really badly to start with

This really does work! My skin is the best it's been in years. I use it twice a day religiously, and I currently have only ONE active spot compared to at least 10 at a time before. My acne is mainly hormonal, and always on the chin/around my mouth. Despite it being hormonal, this does clear it! To start with it made my skin very red, dry and flaky. I almost quit using it but decided to buy a more intensive moisturiser for night time, and it sorted it out very quickly. Now I have no adverse reaction to the cream at all. I currently use the 5% version but I am moving onto the full strength version this week, as I still get very minor break outs. Hopefully the 10% cream will get me totally clear. It even seems to be helping my red marks to fade. Great product all round!

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:

Completely clears spots up, and reduces blackheads resulting in smooth skin.

Cons:

Burns skin and is very drying

I really only suffer with spots on my chin, and had been on dianette which cleared them up. After 6 months I couldnt cope with the weight gain and so came off dianette, after which my spots returned. I bought quinoderm after researching suitable regime products available in the U.K. Even though my spots are only on my chin I applied to my whole face, and after only a few days was stunned with the immediate reduction in spots on my chin, and the blackhead infested skin on my nose was clear and smooth, (something I never thought Id see!) However my skin was horribly dry, uncomfortable and flaky, so Ive switched to using it only at night time with a very thick moisturiser. As my acne was only light this has had no negative effect so far. Very impressed that such a cheap, side effect free treatment works!

Pros:

Dries out spots, reduces size of pores, makes skin less oily. Clears up acne :)

Cons:

Stings after first few days of application, but this dies down after about 30 seconds. After about a week, you should be able to apply the cream without any stinging at all. Dries out skin, but a good moisturizer can combat this.

This is a miracle cream! After trying PanOxyl 2.5 aquagel which burned my face, this stuff is genius :) Today is the sixth day I've used this product (2 applications a day), and my skin is the clearest it's been since I was about 13. My forehead (which had the least acne) is completely clear now, it looks amazing, and the rest of my face is slowly catching up. When washing my face in the morning, I've started exfoliating with a gentle scrub because skin can get a bit flakey during the first few days, and this makes it hard to apply make up. But the exfoliator buffs away any dry bits of skin. However, this might not be suited to everyone so be careful. But seriously try this product, I paid £3.50 for mine, and it's the best £3.50 I've ever spent :) Also, I recommend the 5% for first time users. Good luck !

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!
