I've recently had a bit of an acne breakout on my chin. Which when you not on the good side of 25 truly sucks :(
The last time I had this was when I just turned 20. I went to Ayia Napa (enough said) and got ill on like my second day, and was there for 2 weeks! I got a throat infection and laryngitis - ended up taking what can only be described a horse tranquilizer. So this combined with lack of sleep just destroyed my skin.
When I got home I ended up using Quinoderm and it worked wonders.
So when the problem came back I thought I would give it another go.
Its a quite a thick cream and you apply a 'thin layer 2 or 3 times daily by gentle massaging over all the affected area'
Its main ingredients: Benzoyl peroxide 10%ww and Potassium hydroxyquioline sulphate 0.5ww
It does burn a little (for some it may just tingle) and you definitely don't need much.
So I'd been using it for about 3 days when I noticed by skin starting to itch where I'd been applying it (it reaaallllllly itched). It all became quite sore and I had to stop. My skin also looked like it was peeling in places and it didn't even clear up the acne!
I also forgot that it really bleaches things. See the evidence below......my poor pj top.
When I first used it - I now remember ruining a few bits of bedding and quite a few pj's.So after a few fun days I'm now left with a sore itchy patch of dry skin and a bleached pj top.
Verdict - Hell no, never again!
