Pros:

Works VERY well

Cons:

Leaves your skin a bit red for about 20 minutes after using

I started using this cream on January 26th 2009 with EXTREMELY bad acne pigmentation and some mild active acne. As of 12 June 2009 I can say the difference is unbelievable. If you've been prescribed this cream please use it as directed and give it at least 7-9 weeks to kick in. I really thought this cream wasnt working for me and after around 5 weeks I felt like giving up but I stuck with it, then after around 8 weeks I noticed that my pigmentation had decreased dramatically - and believe me, if you think yours is bad, I would bet money it's nothing compared to what mine was - my entire forehead had atleast 68 spots, by my count, of pigmentation that had gone from red to purple - I constantly looked like I had been beaten up in a fight, my face itself wasnt much better either. Anyway I've been using it for nearly 5 months now and I can say this product is awesome and according to my doctor safe to use in the longterm (unlike BP products), so I say, get this cream from you

Pros:

It makes your skin very smooth.

Cons:

Little itchy

I don't have any acne, I do get the odd spot. I am using it for Chloasma which is a hyperpigment problem with dark skin. It seems to be working but only used it for 3 days so i'll give it a month or so.

Pros:

It left my skin feeling smooth. Made my expoliator more effective when removing my scars. Dried out my open comedones.

Cons:

Burns. For a good amount of times. I would keep away from your mucosal areas (near your eyes and creases near your nose)

Good product. I find it was very helpful when teamed with twice daily treatments of topical erythromycin.

Pros:

Got rid of my moderate acne , at least a 90% improvement.
Skin already started to feel smoother and healthier after one week.
No irritation like BP ..

Cons:

Burns for about 5 Minutes after application

I use the 15 % Skinoren Gel , it absorbs better into the skin than the cream and leaves your face with a nice smooth and matt feel due to its skin-shedding properties. Surprisingly it helps to prevent deeper , cyst like spots which i used to get.

Pros:

Works! I mean seriously works. Great value for money.

I started having trouble with my skin when I turned 21... i was trying everything including expensive visits to the beautician every two weeks for a glycolic peals and topical tretinoin (which was soooo honorable). Anyways, I started to realize that my acne problem was associated with me having sensitive skin / rosacea. I'm now 28 and have found that skinoren is the best treatment for me... unfortunately if i stop using it I suffer breakouts again.... which only further illustrates how good this treatment is.

Pros:

Coulndn't mention any

Cons:

Dries out skin. Burns and leaves skin itchy and red.

I've been using this product for nearly 3 months now and i'm giving up. My skin looks older and ragged due to the drying effect. This product has not been working for me at all!
