Quinoderm : (5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream

Amazing product. Been on and off god knows how many pills + antibiotic lotions, but this is it. Started a couple of months ago, you feel a burning sensation at first, dies down within seconds and slap on some moisturiser and hey presto, you're fine. All the big spots died down within about a week and since then all the cystic, whiteheads, blackheads, big fat red spots, whatever .... they've virtually all gone, exposing my scarring and a few red patches that are slowly healing up. Used this for about 3 months now and my god am I the happiest man on earth!

I am 19 years old and have suffered from acne since I was about 11, I have been on antibiotics, creams, gels everything under the sun from doctors and dermatologists! I came across Quinoderm online via boots and thought I would give it ago and I am so glad I have, Its only been two days and already I see a huge improvement! My forehead usually has tiny lumps all over it and there basically gone, My chin which is where its the worst has calmed down alot, the spots have reduced in size and isnt so inflamed. I also have used it where I have black heads on my nose and there nearly gone too! There are a few dry areas with using the cream but I just make sure I moisturise morning and night with a oil free moisturiser so its not unbearable. Yep it nips for a minute when you first apply it but I have been through more pain and dryness through treatments from the doctor and had no results! So far so good :D

My skins is so much better I would defintely recommend it to others. It is drying, but I use a very good facial scrub (MD formulations, glycolic, if anyone's interested) once a week and this definitely helps. Also I use a good moisturiser now and then on the dry areas. My cheeks were clear anyway, so using moisturiser here instead of the quinoderm. I am so much happier now that my skin is improving all the time, it used to reduce me to tears, but I haven't felt like that for weeks!

I've been using Quinoderm on and off for about a year now after my doctor reccomended it when I told him I had a fear of swallowing pills. As some background, I have light-moderate acne, which springs up on and off throughout the year dependent on weather, stress etc. Noticeable enough to cover the whole face and other areas of the body, but not extremely severe. I DO NOT have sensitive skin. If you do, I think there is a sensitive version of Quinoderm but I can't speak for that. After cleaning and using a scrub on my face I apply a thin layer ONCE a day (every evening) before bed, then leave it to soak in overnight. You cannot go out wearing it! It smells quite bad, and if you sweat it will drip down your face! Very unpleasant (as a warning though: It will gradually bleach covers over time so use an old pillow if wearing it to bed). I then use a scrub and moisturiser in the morning to wash it off. You HAVE to moisturise when using Quinoderm as you'll find your skin will dry out quickly. Apart from the smelliness and the fact you can only realistically put it on at night, I have found it works extremely well. Although people complain of redness I have not experienced this, in fact it reduces the redness on my face (may be due to the fact I do not have sensitive skin) and completely removes all blemishes after about 1 weeks consecutive use. However it does nothing with regards to acne scars; I have some on my cheeks from when I had worse acne when I was younger (for some reason I refused all treatments... silly child!!) so unfortunately although it gets rid of the spots and redness it can't make your skin completely smooth and soft! Overall I would reccomend it for an overall better visual appearance on your face. One more word of advice, apply it to the WHOLE area, do not just put it on individual spots as this WONT work. It needs to be spread about. It wont get acne out of your system but it will definitely i

. Clearing up my skin . Easy to get (boots) .Lots in it (worth it) lasts ages .

All people are different, not one product will suit everyone. 43 yr old, acne since teenager and am talking BOILS or at least boil-like. Been on antibiotics for 10 yrs which helps a lot but still get huge spots on face. Since using this for 1 month 1 app per day had 1 spot. The cream did't help that spot, no decrease in size or redness but am convinced it is stopping new spots forming. No miracle cure keep trying different creams till u find one that works. At present this seems to work for me

Been using this for about 3 months, like a lot of others I had tried SO many treatments ranging from a 3 day fast (bs) to countless creams etc. I started with the 10% one which may not of been the best idea, however it did get rid of a big lump of sticking out spots on my face and turned the whole area into a spot free but red mess. Granted, I prefer redness to spots but still it's not brilliant. 3 months down the line I have no real sticky out spots but I do have some red spot marks (scars?) still on my face that have been there for ages, not the end of the world but I'm still not 100% clear. I still have bad dry skin problems, I have to carry round moisturizer with me everywhere I go, not too much of an inconvenience but not perfect. I would reccomend this product, it's the only one that worked on me and has cleared up my skin fairly well, I am a lot happier now compared to before. Still prepare for flaky dry skin! Also for the people that have reactions and cry about it on here, read the instructions on the packet, it clearly says to test a small dab behind your ear overnight before applying it too your face.

It works but its harsh, once you get the acne under control you can go a few days without using this to let your skin recover. (trust me you wont break out if you dont use this every single day)

Considering i tried prescribed acne treatments and this was £2.49 over the counter...id say its the best stuff iv ever bloody bought!

This cream wored very well for me, i had quite bad acne on my chest and after only 3days its cleared 95% of it up. I also had minor acne on my face, and its cleared all of it up minus one spot.... but.... My face now feels very sore and tight, it now has a bumpy dry feeling to it, and when applying makeup it creates dry patches because of the condition of my skin. I have been using aqueous cream (moistouriser for burns) and even this only makes my skin feel good for a few seconds before feeling lie sandpaper. Only use this product if your willing to make the sacrifice: Iv exchanged spotty skin for dry skin... and for me thats better. But soon i might change my mind .
