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!

Pros:

Really works

Cons:

Can burn sensitive skin

I've suffered with acne for years but also have sensitive skin. I have tried everything and have found this cream works better than anything! I literally touch a spot (not the area around it though) with the smallest amount max once a day otherwise i go red and blotchy and can blister. I would still recommend it.

Cons:

Quinoderm is awful, I wouldnt recommend it to anyone, I have been off work for 3 days now because I can't face going outside my house. My face has swollen up, my eyes are unrecognisable and my skin is like leather, red, ithcy and scaley.

I would never ever recommend this product to anyone, unless I hated them and wanted them to live in misery like I have!! If this doesn't clear up soon I'll probably turn into a manic depressant. I look hideous.

Cons:

none

Brill stuff i would recommend quinoderm cream to anyone i have always been lucky and had clear skin but here i am 30 something :)and got like a hormonal acne breakout been using quinoderm cream 10% for almost a week now, skin is softer spots are gone and red marks are fading have also found after using quinoderm face wash in the morning then applying cream it does tingle and skin feels heated but lasts like 5mins or so not much discomfort at all considering the plus side. i do apply makeup over it and the best thing i found is makeup foundation stays on all day!! another + it doesnt seem to slide or go shiney. i havent found quinoderm to be too drying but guess after prolonged use it could. hope this helps anyone making their mind up on buying quinoderm cream. its cheap as chips and zaps the zits!! go buy some u know ya wanna!!!

A recommended treatment! (If used correctly...)

Pros:

Works somewhat quickly
Very effective
Cheap

Cons:

Stings a little bit after about a week of application
It has bleach in it, so keeping it from my dyed hair is a constant worry.
Smells plasticy

I've been using quinoderm for about 2-3 weeks now, starting on the 5%. As a teenager, acne is one of my biggest insecurities, so I was looking for an item that would clear it right up. Before using, I read some of the reviews about it and a lot had mentioned red skin and flakiness, which left me somewhat skeptical, however, to date I have not experienced any of these side effects, which surprised me as I wouldn't tend to moisturise often. The pharmacist had said I should only really use it at night before sleeping, which is what I have been doing. Over 2-3 weeks I have gone from mild acne to hardly any at all! I'm very pleased with the results and I intend to continue using this product.

Love it (so far) PRESCRIPTION REVIEW.

Pros:

Prevents new spots
Redness reduced in 'hot area'
Not related to contraceptives

Cons:

Bleach is drying on skin
BLEACH CAN RUIN CLOTHES/BEDDING
Slight burning after application

I have had acne for about 5 years now (I am 17) and I FINALLY went to see a doctor about it. When I was 14 I tried the Dianette (Diannette?) contraceptive pill that is altered to improve skin quality as well, but that didn't really make a difference to my very persistent acne. I am also extremely pale so every spot that I have had has it's own little scar somewhere on my face, which is bad enough without a cluster of spots appearing once a week. So I went on Quinoderm 5 and Tetralysal 300mg Hard Capsules (Iymecycline 408mg. Equivalent to 300mg tetracycline base) on Thursday 31st October 2013, and it's now Monday 4th November and I can't remember the last time my skin was this calm. On first application of the cream I noticed no burning or redness, but that has changed now, though it's not bad at all. Obviously, due to the bleach content in the cream I expected flakiness and redness, which I have got, but because I am still only applying it once a day (at night, as directed by the GP) I have no problem as I don't leave the house for at least 8 hours after application. Yesterday I noticed my chin, which is where the majority of the spots reside, is quite dry and flaky. I am now unsure whether I am supposed to apply a moisturiser whilst doing the course of treatment but I have been recommended bio-oil by a fellow acne survivor as it will keep my skin moisturised as well as help with the scarring. I will attempt to edit this review if anything changes dramatically, but I am having a good experience with this cream so far!

Pros:

I have been using for the past month or so the quinoderm antibacterial facewash in conjunction with the topical cream with bonzoyl peroxide, as soon as I introduced this topical cream I really started to see results, my skin lost a lot of redness, a lot of my blemishes became smaller, some disappeared!

Cons:

I found I was applying it to blemishes that were not actually spots or zits and it just caused irritation. Also parts of my skin that ARE suffering with acne started to feel very dry and almost burnt. I've been applying Elave which has helped to alleviate this dryness and burning

yesterday I took a break from all creams, chemicals, makeup, and I took a walk in the fresh air and drank a lot of fresh water and my skin looks so much better now. I would really advise anyone using these creams to take a day break, allow your skin to breathe! it'll thank you. Also get plenty of sleep, fresh air, and water,and if your doctor will prescribe it try an antibiotic to tackle your acne from within too.

Pros:

Works Fast

Cons:

Red burning down my neck if to much applied

This stuff really works, what would you prefer loads of zits or a bit of burning. The burning soon disappears to leave non zitty skin. Ive been using this stuff on and of for about 15 years and forgot about it for some years as my skin cleared itself. But then for some reason started to have break outs again. So started to use it again. Never be without it again.
