Pros Cheep, Clears Pimples and Acne MARKS TOO!
Cons Runny, leaves a white residue.
Bottom line WOW! So, for the past three years my skin has been acne covered and acne red mark covered! I normally wear a mud mask at night to help it, but I ran out last week! Randomly I decided to use calamine lotion on my face as my night mask. I woke up the next morning amazed! REDNESS 40% GONE! Pimples 60% GONE! I did it again the next night, REDNESS 70% GONE, Pimples 90% GONE! The night after that, REDNESS 90% GONE! Pimples 100% GONE! Then last night I had to exfoliate my skin cuz it was getting really dry. So it set me back a little. It made my face get to about 40% Redness, Pimples still gone. Now tonight I have a mask on, and about to go to sleep. Hopefully a big improvement tonight! :D I'll write again tomorrow to update!

Pros Very affordable and immediate results
Cons Only can where at night due to pink color.
Bottom line I am 27 and have had acne problems and blemishes periodically for the last few years. I have spent so mucjh money on face products and makeup to clear my skin up. My mom told me to put calamine lotion on my face at night and I thought to myself, that's crazy. But after purchasing my last product(Murad), I decided to give it a try hoping for some type of relief. Well it has been a week and my skin looks great.I would recommend calamine lotion to anyone that is frustrated with their acne issues.

Pros Inexpensive
Works better than benzoyl Peroxide or salicylic acid for a spot treatment.
Cons Runny
Bottom line I had a giant cystic pimple on my cheek. Normally, I would spot treat it with Proactiv 6% benzoyl peroxide, and it would get super dry and take about a week to completely heal. I decided to try calamine lotion instead and my cystic pimple went from a painful deep hard round lump to disappearing completely in only 3 nights of spot treatment! I now have a tiny dry spot where I applied the calamine, but it was much less drying than the 6% BP!

Pros Clears Face Quickly
Face is smoother
Less Oily
Cons First couple days your skin will be very dry
Pink color so you have to wear at night
Bottom line I've tried everything from ProActiv to basic creams and all in between. I've spent hundred's of dollars in acne medications. So I wanted to find a home remedie. Well I started looking and found alot about Calomine Lotion. So I said why not lets give it a shot. In one day more face was smoother and clearer. I was totally shocked. I've had acne since I was 12 (i'm 17) I will continue using the lotion and suggests anyone who hasn't tried it yet they defiantly should give it a try.

Pros Simply put: It clears up zits! I dab some on individual spots that come up and it dries them out without irritating my skin.
Cons Can only use it at night due to the pink tone.
Bottom line Try this, it really does work!

Pros It works fast and is great for sensitive skin
Cons None so far
Bottom line I have tried everything, and when I say everything, I mean it! I have been on Accutane 3 times since aget 19. All three times it worked for about a year, then the acne came back. I have tried every antibiotic and prescription strength skin cream/gel/liquid. Nothing so far compares to the use of calamine lotion. I could have saved hundreds of dollars if I had been aware of this little known "secret". I have very fair skin and it has become sensitive in the past year, so I have been limited to what I can now use on my face. I am 32 and have been dealing w/ acne since age 12. I highly recommend anyone having problems with acne to try calamine lotion!
