Lifesaver Spot Cream ∼ Quinoderm Review.


I discovered quinoderm through a friend who had got the name off another girl who has amaaaazing skin. Having never heard of this cream, I immediately looked up reviews on google/ youtube. This, added with the skin of the girl i know almost sealed the deal for me - I had to get it! Before splurging spending £4.28, I tried my friends out; expecting dramatic results. Currently suffering from three large spots  three extra eyes between my eyebrows, I was desperate. After applying two/ three times throughout the day, I went home rather disappointed - the spots remained red, large and angry (you know how it is.) However, after 3-4 days my skin was as clear as a whistle! I had never seen it so spot-free! And it was undoubtedly down to this. Moral of the story: don't expect immediate results. I wanted the stinging sensation my friend felt, basically telling hertha there spots were disappearing (be warned: stinging involved, I didn't get this as I'm used to large amounts - 5/10% benzoyl peroxide on my skin.) I believe the results would still have been worth it if my sting stung (nice bitta alliteration there.) This cream does leave the skin very dry, but that's because it is designed to dry out your spots. 

After purchasing the quinderm 5 and 10 cream (5 and 10% of benzoyl peroxide), I would recommend you use the quinoderm 5 first to help relieve the stinging, especially if you are not used to high amounts of benzoyl peroxide and then you can work up to the quinoderm 10 if necessary. The great thing about this is that you can purchase both as they are so inexpensive. I do suggest you use a thicker moisturiser and apply it around 3 time a day, I used bobbi brown. 

In the UK you can apparently purchase quinoderm in boots of lloyds pharmacies (although I haven't seen it in either and I checked out the Oxford Street AND Westfield boots.) However, you can buy it on multiple websites - I used amazon but a simple google search will find you many more (and cheaper) alternatives :) Good luck!! x S
