Pros:

cant think of any...

Cons:

expensive, not effective

saw all the adverts and bought this expensive product. used it and noticed no difference. the spots came up and healed no quicker with it. i think its a waste of money. there are so much better prescription meds on the market that are cheaper and that give results. please dont be fooled. save your money! it might help very mild acne..but its just not worth it considering the price tag.

Pros:

seems to work well

Cons:

initially game me a breakout of small whiteheads

appears to work well. I had a cyst on my cheek that is significantly better after 4 weeks of using it. Has cleared up all the small black heads and whiteheads everywhere else. I dont know what some people are complaining about it being expensive, IT WORKS. Is £8 reeally somthing to worry about when you have a spot free face.

Pros:

Helped loads with adult onset acne...

Cons:

...but less effective with teenage spots

I bought some Freederm on a pharmacists advice about 6 weeks ago for my son but decided to use it myself as I (horribly) developed acne about 7 years ago. Within about a week of using Freederm, my more inflamed acne had all but disappeared and the blackheads I've had forever were looking less raised. Now, after six weeks, my skin looks amazing - almost totally blackhead free with only the occasional raised red lump that disappears within a couple of days. My son's experience with Freederm is less succesful but it hasn't been a total waste of time. He had his first cyst just before Xmas and was experiencing constant breakouts of whiteheads across his nose and forehead. Since starting Freederm he has had no cysts and his forehead has cleared up totally. He is still getting whiteheads around his nose but these are less frequent and tend to fade quickly. All in all, I would recommend you give this product a try, especially for adult-onset acne.

Pros:

It worked well at reducing swelling, worked well when i had mild/moderate acne.

Cons:

It stopped working and i ended up with severe cystic acne, its very expensive, and it doesnt prevent.

If you are prone to mild acne or the odd spot, then it will work, but i dont recomend it, because you may end up getting sever cystic like me. Basically it was a big mistake to start using it.

Pros:

It hasnt made my acne any worse:-)some treatment have made my face red and sore straight after using. I have suffered with acne for years and am hoping this is the one!

Cons:

Its sooooo expensive, however its not supposed to stain the bed sheets like quinoderm so it will work out cheaper in the long run:-)

Im gonna try it now for the rest of the week along with my new oil free foundation that I have invested in. I will definatley come back and rate this product again. If you have all white bedding/clothes/towels I do recommend quinoderm to all you that have not tried, it doesnt work any more on me and I cant afford to keep replacing my stuff! Will score again after a week.

I have started to use freederm gel and i find it quite similar to benzoyl peroxide as it dries out your skin in the same red raw way which is not a good look, however, i find it does reduce some spots. I found that the best treatment for acne was dianet pill (made my skin flawless never got ne spots!) but it did make me gain weight over a long period of time so iv had to try out other treatments!
