Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
not sure yet
Cons:
stings a bit, able to handle it though
just started using quinoderm today, like many others on this site i have tried everything and nothing works. slightly worried about my skin getting dried out, even though i would rather that to spots. just wondering about the people who say the use moisteriser along with quinoderm, do you use them at the same time? or use the moisteriser and then the quinoderm after a while?
