Pros:

Smells Good. Works really really well - had a MASSIVE spot, and it totally went down. Does make big spots puffy in a weird way... But works.

Cons:

Found it to be a bit of a placebo... i would put it on and be numbed to the effects.

Ok. Buy this product, it does not dry out your skin - ONLY put it on the spot, not all over your face!! Even if you have lots and lots of spots, you'll have little white dots... just dont leave the house - wear it at night etc. But please try it. It does not sting like pan oxyl, and smells really nice. Plus its freaking cheap + you'll get addicted to it! Putting it on every cut, graze + rash. Prepare to become and addict to this stuff!!

Pros:

Soothing, clears redness, doesn't react badly with the skin like many other creams I've tried, dries out scabbed/popped acne over-night, antiseptic (stops spreading of spots)

Cons:

Looking like an idiot while you walk around the house with a white face.

Used prescribed medications for years, probably tried around 20 different types but nothing seemed to have effect. I'm on a treatment of antibiotics and use Sudocrem directly on my face. I still get bad spots sometimes but I suppose no more excessively than anyone else. I just put a layer of this stuff on my face whenever I'm at home or don't have company, just leave it to do it's stuff! It's not certain, some deeper spots may take a few days to heal, some may go over night, but if you use this stuff as much as possible you'll seriously reduce the amount of spots you get! For the price it's DEFINITELY worth a try, I can say this coming from someone who's tried a multitude of different over the counter and medical treatments, and has tried some of the strongest medically prescribed acne treatments to little avail! Use this stuff!

Pros:

awesome! i had a spot that i stupidly picked and it left a massive red patch on my face, 5 days of applying a thin layer of sudocrem at night and it was gone! also works very well for spots that havent been picked :)

Cons:

stains pillows, and sometimes if it hasnt all soaked in it can take a while to get rid off the remaining white bit left on your face in the morning. doesnt smell that great, but once your asleep you wont know it

brilliant! but it and use it. it will gets rid of any spots perfectly

Pros:

Actually works unlike all the other branded over priced rubbish availble on the shelves out to con us out of our cash.
Easy to apply
Smells OK and is CHEAP!

Cons:

Tub doesnt exactly look very nice - but its whats in the tub that counts

I have been using sudocrem on my skin every evening before bed for just over a week and i can already quite clearly see the improvements, a majority of my spots have gone or are just very small blemishes, the stuff has worked wonders on problematic areas such as my chine and occasionally my tzone. I think i have tried every product in superdrug with little to no effect, other than the very noticable effect on my bank balance. I have never written a review for a product before but since i have been using sudocrem i really thought i would share my thoughts with everyone who is probably feeling quite desperate to find an effective treatment for acne. At 2.65 a pot in my local Boots i thought it was worth a try and i am so glad i did - Give it a go - it just might be the treatment you are looking for!!

Pros:

I suffer from breakouts on my jawline and this helps reduce the size and redness of spots. It also stops the urge to scratch and pick at them!

Cons:

The colour.

Worth a try, although I find my skin gets used to it and I have to change to something else, every 10 days or so. I also use dermalogica overnight clearing gel as an alternative

Pros:

Smells nice, does reduce redness, may help reduce spot size, cheap

Cons:

Kinda greasy, not the most effective thing i've tried

Give it a go :) I bought a medium tub from Boots for about £3 over a year ago and theres still loads left, it doesn't expire until 2010 This thick white cream has a nice lavender scent, which personally i rather like but my boyfriend isn't so keen on - he says it smells of old people talcum powder! I apply a thin layer of this to my spots morning and night. Make sure you blend it in well in the morning as you would with foundation or you will have a deathly white face! At night you can afford to apply it a little thicker. I do find it helps to a certain extent with redness and swelling but certainly hasn't "cured" my acne - it may be different for you, this is a cheap product so give it a go! If you have pale skin this can kinda work as a light-reflecting concealer! Forget YSL Touch Eclat, a dab of this applied carefully can make spots less visible which is always a good thing in my book! I don't use any other skin coverage makeup, just this to make spots a

Pros:

Fantastic cleared acne over night, smells great and leaves skin feeling as smooth as a babies bum.

Cons:

Hm, that's a toughie. Gun to my head I'd say it's a little too expensive, but I'm knit picking.

If you can afford it, GET IT! It will change your life!
