Pros:

I've used Skinoren for about 3 months now. It's great at preventing inflammation from picking and popping. It has reduced the amount of pimples I get. I also use St. Eves Apricot Scrub to because Skinoren prepares your skin to regenerate by peeling.

Cons:

It says on the package to not use for more than 6 months...why?

Try it! I Am an African American female with mild-moderate acne.

Pros:

over time it removes almost all acne and redness. you still might get a pimple though, but when your face is in your natural colour one zit or two does'nt look that bad.

Cons:

still had two breakouts after i starting using it. one year after i started, then six months after that. maybe because i got lazy and did'nt use it frequently enough when i looked good. hope so..

your acne itches, but i saw it as a signed of it working. and in a while, it sure did. i cleared up fine and got my selfesteem back.

Worth a Go!
This is the 4th week I've been on the cream. At first I didn't see a lot of improvement but now it is beginning to show slowly. It leaves skin feeling really soft and with no irritation for me anyway. Inflamed pimples under the skin are well down after 2 applications. It has slightly faded some hyperpigmentation..however it is said around 6 months are needed to benefit from it. Here's to hoping! 4 stars as I'm awaiting more results as it states.

Pros:

works very well. Nothing else helped before. Took about 2 weeks to notice the difference but now it left my skin smooth and clear. Though I use it once a day, otherwise it's too drying.

Cons:

Itchy on application.

I would recommend it.

Pros:

Worked!

Cons:

stings slightly(but who cares)

i was always trying in vain to get rid of my acne that was now leaving scars. The doc gave me this cream and it took away 80percent of my acne and lightened scars i still have scars but not very noticeable.It does sting (slightly) but anyone who has suffered from acne for a long tym will no what i mean when i say "im not bothered" i was just happy that this thing was working. Give it a month maybe less and you will see the difference.

Pros:

It works, you still get some bumps, but they clear up much faster!

Cons:

Can leave you feeling greasy if you have oily skin like me.

Try it out, if you have mild-moderate acne and I have brown skin with marks, it clears up the major breakouts and heals the new ones faster. Also, you can buy it from NZ for cheap. $35.00 for 3 bottles of cream (3 months worth).

Pros:

light skin tone, reduced number of comedos, smooth skin, no redness

Cons:

stinging sensation couple of minutes upon application

after using differin for 2 months straight and the horrible initial breakout i was left with lots of redmarks and still more breakouts. i added skinoren to my treatment and it helped immediately, faded red marks, lightened my redish skin tone and stopped formation of new comedos and acne. it's getting better each day. i've been treating acne for quite some time and i've used everything except accutane, this works very well and the best thing is there's no irritation like with other acne medications.

Pros:

It works better than the other creams I've tried.

Cons:

don't know why, but it gives me dry eyes. So I started applying it further from my eyes and seemed to have taken care of that

I didn't have the itching or stinging that I read about. I think I have acne cause my skin cells really don't turn over fast enough so maybe now they are and that's why it doesn't sting. I also use Aveeno Radiant Wash to wash my face and wait at leasr 5 miutes before applying the skinoren.
