Advantages: Kind to skin, good reputation, honest about time scales Disadvantages: Expensive!
...It recommends you use and Australian bpdy care body wah prior to using, I however didn't and I can't say it made any difference, I used an antibacterial supermarket wash & I am sure the result would be the same as whatever you used as long as the skin is clean and dry.
The gel has a slight fragrance, natural smell although I couldn't tell you what exactly it is, it is a smooth, non sticky gel. I would recommend that if you apply this to the body, ... ...had a stain on a white t-shirt that was stubborn to shift. With regards to application on the face, a little goes a long way and one squirt is enough, again wait for it to dry before doing anything, I once went out in the wind and it hurt!
I didn't see miracle results with this, I did notice that I did need to use on a daily basis, I initially tried every other day for 3 weeks but as I wasn't seeing results, I used it once a day after a shower, ...

...tea tree face wash from australian bodycare (purchased for about £5 on ebay) as it recommends you use this too. I started to use this gel, as directed on the tube.. 'apply a thin layer onto oily ares of the skin. Allow to dry for 90 seconds. Do not rub in or wipe off.' I did this day and night, cleaning with the tea tree wash for 4 weeks and I have to use the words dissapointed... and miserable!
My skin had erupted into a nasty mess of big white ... ...was sore and they were so bad i couldn't cover them with makeup. It hurt to talk as my chin was so inflamed and covered in big painful beasty spots. This gel is formulated with isolutrol which is supposed to reduce the production of oil in your skin but in my case it made my spots worse. I didnt see any difference in my skin for the first few weeks but I then noticed the larger white spots around my nose after 3 weeks of using this product. I researched ...

Advantages: kind to skin, unfragranced, natural ingredients Disadvantages: This is not a cure for acne, you still need to use it occasionally even after your spots have gone
I was blessed with perfect skin up to the age of 17, then it went horribly, horribly wrong. I started getting one or two spots, and gradually this increased until my forehead was very spotty indeed.
This made me feel very depressed, I felt ugly. So, I toddled off to the doctors in the hope that he could give me a miracle cure and make my skin return to its previous state. He diagnosed me straight away as having moderate acne, and he prescribed me ... ...and apply twice a day. Using this lotion was a truly horrible experience. It had an awful smell that reminded me of a cross between mentholated spirit and nail varnish remover! After I had applied it my skin felt tight and it hurt me to smile because my skin was so dry and flaky. What’s more, even though it had dried out my skin, I still had spots!
So, I decided to stop using this cream and look for an alternative. I had seen a potion called ...

Advantages: clears acne Disadvantages: very expensive
Ketsugo. It was never a name i'd heard of before, but my mum had been watching television (one of those morning shows like lk today or something) and had saw this product advertised. It was said to help clear up skin, and as she knew I was having problems in this area, she purchased it for me.
A childish looking bottle about 15cm high, with a squirty top was what i received. the word "ketsugo" scrawled up the side of the blue bottle, in green graffiti ... ...simplicity as one might expect skin care to have. but i suppose the designers reckoned they'd be targetting teenagers with acne, and not young professional women.
*** The Word ***
Well the official chat is that ketsugo is a breakthrough for acne sufferers. The exterior box proclaims "a clinically proven therapy for spot prone skin" the ingredient isolutrol works on the sebaceous glands, over 4-6 weeks, reducing the production of oil in the sebaceous ...

Advantages: simple to use, fast results Disadvantages: quite expensive
...They recommend you use Australian Bodycare tea tree oil face wash with the product, I didn't I used Superdrugs tea tree oil products although the Australian Bodycare range is supposed to be very good. Also Australian Bodycare actually make this gel so that is probably why they recommend it!
I bought this gel in Superdrug, it was £9.95 for the bottle. As far as I know you can't buy this in Boots (even in the larger stores) but you can in some independent ... ...small Superdrug). Ketsugo gel is also available in a spry formula for the same price. I don't know if this works as well as the gel as I have never tried it.
Ingredients in the product are...
Aqua, Sodium PCA, Sodium Scymnol Sulfats, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Ursa, Methylparaben, Polysorbate 60, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparraffin, Laureth-7
Instructions for use are...
Cleanse skin...apply a thin layer of gel...allow to dry for 90 seconds...do ...

Advantages: Non Bleaching Disadvantages: Expensive And Doesnt Work Quick Enough
Well call me inpatient if you like but i have been using Ketsugo Gel for just about two weeks now and am getting edgy already as i havent seen any results as yet.
Infact my skin actually looks worse right now than it did before i began.
Saying that though i have just stopped using Quinoderm Cream after a couple of years,mainly because my skin was just getting too oily and i wanted to stop the catch 21 situation of overydring my skin to be free ... ...by even more oil a few hours later.
So with a couple of sore red spots and a nice bit of oilyness i will continue with everything crossed that i can cross and hopefully soon i will see an improvemnt.
Afterall it is only two weeks i suppose and doctors do say to give most product 4-8 weeks to work but hey 4-8 weeks is a hell of a long time to those of us who have to put up with problem skin(i can hear you all shouting yeah too f***** right)
Anyway ...

Quick review of Australian Bodycare Ketsugo Gel
I suffered from oily skin for years. I'd used all kinds of cleansers, toners, moisturisers and make-up designed to reduce oil and nothing worked until I used this. I used it initially as directed, twice a day, but after my skin became less oily I reduced that to once a day. I personally would swear by it! I had been buying a top brand of cleansers, etc costing £20 to £30 a time per product and at the end of the day they made no difference. I think this product is amazing. If you have oily skin BUY IT! :) ...

Advantages: Clears most of face from acne, no rashes. Disadvantages: Takes a few weeks to start to work.
It all started a year ago when my beautiful skin turned into a acne painted horror show. I headed off to the doctor to get some advice and he gave me a cream.The cream tightened my skin at first and actually started working after a few weeks until it eventually gave my skin a horrible,itchy rash every time I used it.
My mother then informed me of Ketsugo Gel, a product which she "spotted" in a magazine(sorry, I couldn't help it!!!).I tried it and ... ...faith and after 4 it finally worked. My acne was tremendously improved. The spots were smaller and there were only a quarter as many as before. I got through 4 or 5 bottles before they stopped selling it in my local city for some reason. I travelled to Dublin(good guess-I'm Irish) but they told me it was no longer for sale in Ireland. I'm now getting it off the 'net but it's a bit dearer.
My advice to anyone with acne is get this, be patient, chillax(stress ...
