Pros:

easily absorbed, seems to help

Cons:

slight itching. reduces healing of red spots.

it reduced the redish tone i had on my cheeks, keep using it consistently!!!! i missed using it once and i woke with a break out. i had about 3 major breakouts since using it but overall i think it really works.

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.

Everyday when i put it on, it always itches for awhile. It did help reduce the seriousness of my acne. In between I stopped when it ran out, but my acne didn't get worse or anything like that at all, so thats good. But it won't clear all of the acne up. Decided to use other recommended products at night and skinoren in the morning. Now, my acne is about 80% gone.

Reduced oily skin and redness.
Controls acne

Cons:

After a while it stopped working :(

I started getting acne 3 years ago(I'm 14 old now)..My mum bought it 1 week ago so I gave it a try.After 3 daysI was 100% acne free.I only had some scars left.It also reduced oilness..But suddenly the oilness came back and I broke out.. I still use it and maybe it's just to early to see if it really works..=/

Pros:

after one day my skin seemed a lot calmer and although i still had redness it wasn't as bad as it was the night before

Cons:

slightly itchiness

i have tried loads of different creams, gels and solutions in the past which have not made the slightest difference and my doctor said they were all the same types so he prescribed me this which is completely different and contains different ingredients. i have only been using it for one day so far however it has made a difference. i hope it continues to get better. also if your in full time education get it from your doctor it will be cheap or free

Pros:

For me helps a little even when used just twice a week, once a day. Does not bleach textiles. Skin turns very smooth after the peeling effect.

Cons:

Does not cure the acne even in regular use, though reduces blackheads. Delays the healing of red spots. The itching can be quite unbearable, especially on hot weather (so I opt to using just occasionally)

Has positive effect for me even when used occasionally, so why to suffer from the itch daily. Not many treatments work for me, so this is well worth recommending.

Pros:

Doesn't bleach clothing

Cons:

Made my acne worse, delayed healing of spots

I used this for two months. It gradually made the acne on my chin worse and worse. It has been worse that it has ever been and the spots that are appearing take ages to heal and remain red. Normally my spots disappear within a few days. I didn't have much stinging or itching on application-just occasionally. I have hormonal acne, I flare up on my chin twice a month normally with between 2-5 spots. Since using skinoren I have about 10 spots and that has been all month long, I keep getting new ones and the old ones aren't disappearing. I cannot recommend skinoren at all. Perhaps it is because my acne is hormonal and adult acne-I am 29. I have stopped using skinoren today and have some DIM on order as my next product to try, if that doesn't work I'll have to try spiro
