Pros:

None!

Even after an ok patch test with the 5% cream, it left me with chemical burns + swelling on my face that after 5 days and medical advice I am still waiting for symptoms to calm down!!

Never Again!!!

Pros:

Effectively treats spots

Cons:

Dries out skin

Tried many spot treatments- this is by far the most effective for me. Dries out skin, but nothing a bit of moisturiser can't fix! :)

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:

Works better than any other product I have used. Clears acne within a few days. It definitely works!! :)

Cons:

May dry out your skin a little but as long as you use moisturiser, your skin will feel better. Can be addictive as well!

I have suffered from acne for about 5 years. I have been using this product for over a year now and it has reduced all irritations completely. I occaisonally get the odd spot, but a small amount would clear it up it no time. However, I have found that the cream is rather addictive...when the tube does run out, I find that, for a few days, a few spots and irritations do appear. If you cannot get hold of this cream for a while and your acne is appearing again, use facial washes and masks, these may not work as well as strong topical creams, but they do cleanse and tone your skin. I would strongly recommend this product!! :)

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:

Dries up acne ( even severe )
Prevents breakouts
Reduces spot size
Works fast
Cheap
Non-prescriptional
Lasts long

Cons:

Flakey skin
Itchiness
Red blotches ( depends on skin e.g. sensitive )
Bleach - meaning it will discolour any material e.g shirt, pillow cases
Stops working for a few weeks, but then starts working again :)

So I have been using Quinoderm ever since mid-February 2012 and during the first week, it did dry up my acne ( keeping in mind i had moderately-severe acne only on my forehead), during the second week it dried up nearly all of my acne though i started to get really dry skin, but it was all fixed up with a bit of moisturizer :)) it stopped working for about 2/3 weeks but then worked as good as ever! overall, i would recommend buying it :) give it a try, but i wouldn't suggest for people with sensitive skin to try this, btw i have normal/combinational skin + oily tzone area :) i hope i helped! hehe

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
