Absolutely brilliant

Pros:

Cheap
Prevents new spots
Helps clear scars

Cons:

Can sting a little
Lightens skin

It appears this cream is only good for some skin types (having read other reviews) - my skin is very tough,dark olive European and I have never suffered from dry, flaky skin, nor have I suffered from oily skin, it's always been a good balance. So, if that's your skin type then it's a good start. I use the 10% cream 3 times a day at the moment - I'd never had acne until I hit 23, I'm nearly 25 now and this is the best my skin has been since I started treating my acne - I was previously diagnosed as level 3. Anyway, it has helped slow down the growth of new spots, if I do get new spots they're much smaller and heal faster. My existing spots are all completely gone, but the best thing is the help it's had with the scarring - unbelievable!! I had huge red and purple lumps all over my cheeks and chin and over the last month they're slowly disappearing. Definitely the right cream for you if you've got the right kind of skin for it.

Pros:

Clears up your face very fast; excellent stuff.

Cons:

None really. It does leave your face dry after about a week of using it but moisturiser will sort that out for you straight away

Use it. I came on here before thinking about getting any and was overwhelmed by the good reviews - they are all here for a reason! I noticed a small difference straight away and after about 3 days, things really stepped into gear. All the redness was going down, any whiteheads go pretty much overnight to a bit of redness but will take another day to get rid of generally, but it doesn't matter because they become barely noticeable! It does sting when you use it, which is a good sign because you know it's doing something. However, for the first week of using it, my face would become really red where I'd applied it for about an hour or so after because my skin wasn't used to it. So I'd recommend using it way before you think about going out in the morning and in the evening if you know you're staying in. You may also want to put an old towel on your pillow for a while because the cream will bleach the material on your pillow case. After about 10 days, there's a significant diff

Pros:

Skin is 99.9% acne free! Surprisingly gentle on my skin at 10%. I only use it once a day after showering and touch up dryness with Vaseline Essential Moisture. About 4 Pounds Sterling in UK for 50g.

Cons:

None for me!

The best, I use 10%. The other ingredients Lactic acid, helps flakes and the petrolatum moisturizes the skin. The other antibacterial ingredient helps calm redness and gives the benzoyl peroxide an added kick.

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:

Gradually almost eliminates spots over a month or 2. I only used it once a night, so doesn't make me look weird during the day. Better than more expensive products that only simply wash your skin

Cons:

May cause dry skin if you wash your skin a lot.

Give it a go for a month, and I'm sure you'd agree. My routine was to use Clean & Clear Deep cleansing cream wash in the mornings, wash face at night before using generous loads of Quinoderm

Pros:

works so well, makes all spots disappear! =)

Cons:

makes your skin a little dry until it gets used to the treatment.

I got mine from the doctor, so it cost nothing and it has really got rid of all my acne, face and shoulders.

Pros:

Dries up everything, little and big spots

Cons:

Some drying of the skin if you overuse it. Worst bit - does smell a bit strange, but nothing to worry about - had to find something bad about it!

Very good product. Loads of rave reviews, and thats no coincidence, this really is the best treatment i've ever tried. Everyone says they've tried everything, i'm the same, and i came back to quinoderm because it works the best! Dryingis only an issue if you use too much in my experience, but if for you it does dry, an oil-free moisturiser works perfectly well without contradicting quinoderm.

Pros:

REMARKABLE difference - seems to kill all the badness underneath the surface which a lot of products promise but never work!!! Sinks into the skin beautifully and when used at night the results in the morning are AMAZINGLY better ! DEFINITELY worthy!

Cons:

No dryness on my part - I know PanOxyl can dry your skin out a lot as I used this and it made me look and feel like a monster because of the dryness but Quinoderm because it's a cream seems a lot milder !!!

Have had mild bad skin for a few years now and have tried EVERYTHING (prescriptions, clearasil, oxy, pan oxyl, freederm, retanin-A, dianette etc) and can honestly say that quinoderm is BY FAR the BEST product i have EVER used) NO side effects, NO nasty dryness, redness or irritation, just clears up spots a treat and leaves you feeling and looking much better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Its a fab cream best i have ever tried and basically the only cream i use!!!! I have used it for yrs i find the 10% good prob as i am used to it but newcomers prob best with 5% at first as can be drying.

Cons:

can bleach fabric so be careful if you put it on for bed and watch your towels!!

excellent value for money works best of you use a plain soap like simple or glycerin soap to wash your face then apply morning and night to any pimples or spots, skin can go pink and dry at first but after a while its fine and skin gets used to this. buy it and try it ;-)
