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:

Clears up spots well, especially if used daily and not just on individual spots when they arise
Very cheap

Cons:

Slight sting at first but this disappears
If used too much, makes skin dry and red

Definitely would recommend it, I have sensitive skin but the stinging wasn't unbearable, and it helped clear up most of my spots :)

Pros:

It dries up spots super quick. I know a few people with acne roseaca... doesnt help them at all. But for me it works wonders...!! it dries up spots over night and if you use it for a week or two it makes them die down alot

Cons:

doesnt get rid of them completly, dries out the skin but fixable with some mouisturier.

great product!! definatly recomend to any one for a pretty quick fix. I smuther it on which i dont think helps in much just blocks up the pores so i recomend to any one using it to only put a little on. !!! also if u like to wear foundation dont put quinoderm on before you put foundation on as it sticks to the quindoerm and makes you look awful. works best overnight. then mouistourise in the morning.

Pros:

-Works wonders
-Cheap
-Easy to apply
-

Cons:

-Dries a bit the skin (that's why I use moisturizing cream in the morning)
-A bit ouchy

Derm prescribed me this cream along with one other. I used to hate this cream at first cause It was really hurtful. Finally, it became my fave cream! It dries nicely the pimple and scars are hardly noticeable! :) Nice product over the counter If you have mild-moderate acne but I doubt it would work If your acne is severe!

Pros:

- Works extremely fast
- Reduced: Breakouts, Skin redness, amount of inflamed spots, whiteheads.
- REDUCED MY ACNE BY 70% WITHIN A WEEK
- Super cheap
- Didn't dry out my skin (my skin is very sensitive too)

Cons:

- Can be a tiny bit itchy/stingy
- Too much in one application = red face for a few hours, but it goes after maybe 5 hours and your normal skin colour returns.

This product in conjunction with Lymecycline antibiotics saved my skin, and it saved me from going on Roaccutane. Effects were noticed overnight for me, (moderately severe acne for 7 years). the product works extremely fast! ***TRY IT***
