Fantastic
This lotion does wonders for skin, it works as a moisturizer, makeup primer, sunscreen and oil control lotion. It dries and heals pimples. However, I have hormonal acne so it doesn't prevent break outs. Just an advice: dont apply too much if you're going out, unless you want to look like you're wearing a "Goth white" powder cream.

Tried this but unwanted side effect
So after reading all great reviews on here I finally decided to give calamine lotion a try so i went bought a bottle of calamine lotion I used i just i was told too by applying it and leaving it for 30 minutes then washing off twice a day. I have been doing this for two days an waiting for results however in the mean time i have noticed that my tan skin is looking very white. I was out with my friends and one person asked if i was wearing sunscreen because I looked like a ghost. Why is this happening !!?!? Is it that my skin is very dry if so what should i use to moistureize that will not cause acne. Pleasr hrlp as I still want to use this product yo treat my acne. And also how to get my complexion normal again!

Pros:

Cheap, big, and gentle.
It soothes skin like nothing else!

Cons:

Color is very pink so you can only use it at night
Did not really do anything to my skin.

I gave it a try when I became very sensitive to BP. Although it was very gentle and made my skintone a little bit whiter, it didn't really do much for acne. However, whenever you burn your skin due to some kinda allergies or skin care products, use this one and your skin condition will get better.

Pros:

dry pimples
dry eczema

Cons:

cant wear in public

I used this product when my eczema is hyper/ active during summer season. Calamine lotion is prescribed by my doctor. It really helps me to relief itchiness and dry up my skin disease.( I only have eczema during summer.) I also use this product to dry up my acne and it works. I love this product. It just that I can't wear outside.

Pros:

i tried this the other night, the caladryl one. it helped only a little. I'm thinking it might be because of the brand... caladryl has a runny consistency. What brands would u suggest?

Cons:

u can only use it during the night.

you might want to try it out for spot treatment. its cheap too :) and helps to minimize redness and the swelling the morning after.
