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:

It works. Nothing else worked before. Skin feels smoother after a few days.

Cons:

itches, but for a very short time. You can not use it longer than 6 month and skin can get sensitive to sun. I use it from october to april, then I am only on some cosmetic stuff.

The fist weeks it itches and seems do not have much effect, but after one month you see big improvement. About the same time it stops itching, then you can help dead-skin removal with scrubs one-two time a week - skinoren gets even more effective. Though now, when I ahve used it for 4 or 5 years 6 months per year, the effect is lower - my skin seems have got used to the acid in skinoren and does not respond as good as before.

Pros:

Easy-to-apply, soaks in to skin, doesn't sting or dry

Cons:

Under-the-surface white heads

I am using this as well as Spirotone for 3-4 months. It goes on easy, but has some little grains in the cream sometimes. My skin has improved, but I am not sure if it is the cream or Spiro.. I think Spiro mainly. This has kept large nodules at bay, but it gives me lots of under-the-surface white heads, I don't know if these would otherwise be big nasty spots, if so maybe I should be grateful! But they are annoying and easy to pick at and make worse.. so I'm back to square one really!

Pros:

Reduces red marks, reduces acne by about 70%

Cons:

Stings on application, itches.

I think it works very well I use this as well as being on Dianette and so far so good, it's getting rid of scars and for the first time in 8 years I don't have to wear thick horrible layers of make up to cover the acne up, just have to use a concealer for the red marks on the most part. The itching and any drying affect faded away in the first few weeks.

Pros:

I was using Finacea for my complexion for a while. Then, on my last trip to Greece I decided to get something there. The pharmacist gave me SkinOren. I love it. It goes on great, feels smooth where the Finacea went dry and turned white-ish.

I am very happy with SkinOren. I like it better than any other creme I have tried. Finacea WITH co-pay is $30 and SkinORen OTC was just 8 Euro....

Pros:

it certainly lightened my PIH

Cons:

stings a bit during the beginning of treatment

my friend recommended differin to me a couple of months ago and i gave it a try. and it worked quite well: it got rid of my pimples in just 3 days but my PIHs (small red and brown marks left after pimple disappeared)are still visible although differin kinda like 'bleached' it a bit. i ran out of that cream so i went to the pharmacy to get another one and i asked the lady about any other meds she knows that can fade my marks away. and that was when i first heard of SKINOREN. the lady said it helps alot with those red spots and can treat pimples too. so i bought it. the first time i used it, it itched my skin but i think it'll b okay after my skin is used to it. i kinda c some improvement after 3 days but not as huge as what differin has done to my pimples. BUT, after a few weeks, IT DID FADED MY MARKS AWAY!! i was so happy, finally those stupid marks are going away. it does get rid of pimples but takes a longer time. like the pharmacist said, it works more for the marks. try it!!!
