Pros:

Actually works!
Cheapness

Cons:

Causes small case of dry skin

Works amazingly but leaves dry skin on surface applied, but with moisturisers, that's nothing. 5 star! ;]

Pros:

excellent for clearing skin, cheap

Cons:

the smell

I use to have really bad acne, cysts all over my face. and with a combination of staeming my face three times a week, starflower oil capsules and qunoderm my skin completely cleared after about 2 months. Unfortunatley about a year later due to stress with exams my skin broke out terribly all over my face and body. I went on dianette and have now had beautifully clear skin for 5 years. I am coming off the pill in august (ver scared) but will be back to starflower oil, steaming and quinoderm it works wonders !!!!

Pros:

Works better than any other treatment I've tried and believe me that's a lot lol!!!

Cons:

Made my face extremely dry at first and smells quite bad for a little while.

Well worth trying I only use the 5% cream once a day as it dried my face too much otherwise it still works though. Nearly stopped using it after about 2 weeks as my face got bad again but I persevered and now my face is completely clear for the 1st time in 5 years. Make sure you wait a while after washing your face before applying this cream though as otherwise it stings and makes your face go red.

Pros:

its relatively cheap, its strong- 10% benzoyl Peroxide and has a anti microbial so its better than single treatments like panoxyl.

Cons:

the burn! for me it stings like a bitch when i first put it on (especially if i've just had a shave!) but the burn only lasts for 30 seconds or so then dies down. oh and smells a little like anti-septic BUT not too bad n dies down after a bit.

i really like it, its strong with microbial action so its better than single treatments. Bit of a burn to it when first put on but not too bad n only for 30secs or so. might be worth starting off on the 5% strength then move up after a couple of weeks to let your skin adjust if you still need to. As UK acne treatments go this is one of the strongest and so far one of the best

Pros:

Works from day one. Skin feels smoother. I'm actually using bio-oil as a moisturiser and some Johnson's facewash with grapefruit and the results are amazing.I use it everyday in the morning and at night before sleep. I haven't had any skin irritation

Cons:

Definately needs to be used in conjunction with a moisturiser. If you have a recurring skin problem, don't stop the treatment. Your spots will return in a couple of days after you stop usage.

An amazing product. I haven't had luck with the Quinoderm facewash though. That seems harsher on the skin. You definately won't regret having this stuff in your toiletry cabinet. A dermatologist actually recommended this to me as a teenager and I thought I 'd never need it again. Lately i've had some frequent break outs which are leaving marks and recurring. So Quinoderm cream with Bio-oil are working wonders for me. Looking at everyones comments I've realised that it's actually overpriced down here.

Pros:

definatly clears up skin- fast! i use the 10% and apply it morning and night after clense toning and moiturising works great but weird to be walking around not trying to cover my face

Cons:

bit dry but mousturiser treats that

definatly worth using, luckily i only suffered for about half a year then discovered this. cheap-considering, couldnt live without it

Pros:

Works better than other Benzoyl Peroxide creams.It also dries up oily skin well.

Cons:

Can overly dry your skin if it's sensitive, maybe start with the 5% cream.

It's worth trying. Although I still get spots, Quinoderm manages them well and seems to stop them appearing. It is best to use it in conjunction with an individual spot cream as well for stubborn spots. Good luck!
