Dry skin and redness due to Quinoderm acne cream?

I tried Quinoderm 5 and it did nothing for my acne. now I'm using normal Quinoderm and after a few days use my acne is clearing up but my skin is very dry and red. How can I get rid of this?Moisturiser? What type of moisturiser?Dry skin and redness due to Quinoderm acne cream?
Hiya,


Try using the Quinoderm less often, if you're using it every day now, try every other day.


Cleanse your face with aqueous cream then you won't need a moisturiser, it's very gentle and moisturises at the same time. If you want to use one, get a fragrance free one, Ponds do a good one as do Nivea.Dry skin and redness due to Quinoderm acne cream?
Hey, I know its been a year since you posted this but I found this through google and have had the same problem. So for those who too have wondered the same thing ^^ I too suffered from dry skin from quinoderm but as already mentioned I use the rich simple moisturiser (as opposed to the light stuff Report Abuse

I found that using a little Sudocrem (nappy rash cream) at night helped me. It does actually say on the tub that it for acne too.
This cream is supposed to be good, Oralmat Acno Cream from NutriCentre (please see end of link)


please also type in acne for more info on acne. This site has lots of good in fo on alternative remedies,creams that are more natural %26amp; herbal that donot contain harsh ingredients.
Have you ever tried using Arbonne products? They are all natural products. They have a moisturiser that adjust your skin to the proper ph level.
Basically what Quinoderm does is dry out spots. In doing this, it also dries out normal skin. The usual advice is to do what you did - start off with the lower strength for a week or two, this may not make any noticable difference but it's good to get your skin slowly used to the product. Then increase it to the stronger cream, usually use it at night for about a week or 2 and moisturise during the day, then you can increase it to twice daily. There are loads of moisturisers available these days but it might be best to stick to something with no colours/perfumes/scents etc (something like Simple, Emulave/Elave, Eucerin - these are Irish brand names so not sure if they're the same everywhere, sorry). Generally if you ask your pharmacist for that type of moisturiser they'll be able to point you in the right direction.


If your acne doesnt improve on the Quinoderm after a month or two then you might need to try something different.


Hope this helps!
i can send you a cream which works just perfect for acne, it's aloe Vera whole leaf cream will cure, heal and feed your skin just fine
Quinoderm is quite a harsh acne cream. There's a chance you're allergic to it so maybe you might want to look into changing to something else like Panoxyl.
I used acne treatment which left my skin very dry and sore. To combat this I used Nivea for Men Sensitive Moisturiser in the evening and morning after washing with Nivea for Men Sensitive Face Wash. Quite expensive at 拢7.99 and 拢5.79 respectively, but damn effective. Click the link for the details...
