Pros:

Clears up existing spots
Reduces scars
Leaves skin feeling smooth and soft
Restores your skins complexion instead of having an uneven complexion.
Really Cheep could even get it from a pound shop.

Cons:

Can make your skin a little dry if you always use it on your face but if your using it on other areas such as back and shoulders it will work wonders.

Its a really good multi purpose product if it doesnt work on your spots its good at healing cuts, nappy rash great for kids and babies, bed sores, shaving rash you name it, ive only started using it today and my face feels great and i think because its so white it gives your skin a good complexion because it reduces all the redness in your face yeah it might make you a little white but you can just wash it off after or use a towel to get rid of the exess but i must say amazing product as ive used loads of spot treatments and none of them work for me.

Pros:

reduces redness
clears the skin up quickly
leaves skin soft

Cons:

can get on the sheets
cant wear it in the day

i never really suffered with bad skin but for the past year or so iv suffered really bad with my menstral cycle which made it so much worse.with the stress of having two children and a constant period for a few months i was at my wits end.i tried everything from dermalogica,clearasil,freederm and the raved about pro active.most which doesnt come cheap.i saw the sudocrem trick on TOWIE and thought id give it a go.fourth day in and my skin is so much better already.im so pleased and its not costly at all.i paid about £3 for a large pot and it will last for ages as you really dont need to use alot.i put it on before bed and during the day if im not going out.give it a go,i recomened it!

Pros:

1) Softens skin.
2) Reduces scarring from previous spots.
3) Reduces redness from current spots.
4) Reduces the size of current spots.
5) Helps prevent future breakouts due to it's antiseptic properties.
6) It has multiple applications, I've used it on grazes, burns and cuts and it works effectively.
7) Very cheap in comparison to other effective treatments.
8) A single pot has lasted me over a month when applied once a day.
8)

Cons:

1) Makes you very pale if you apply in the morning. Use over night.
2) Very messy. Gets on your bedsheets and pillows easily, due to it's colour it can be mistaken for certain bodily fluids.
3) Very thick (i don't like the texture of it)
4) Smells funny (though some people like the smell).
5) Doesn't seem to clear existing Blackheads but does prevent new ones occurring.

A cheap, effective, fast acting, long lasting, multi purpose cream. Highly recommended. Before I began to use Sudocrem, I had resorted to various treatments with little avail. After 2/3 months of use (once a day) I have been left with a much clearer complexion, all current spots are very small with little to no redness and after using other methods to cleanse my blackheads none have reoccured in the problem areas. (nose, hairline etc.) All harsh scarring has smoothed out since using Sudocrem leaving me with a lot less 'craters' in my face. :) Bottom Line: Give it a try, it works for me!

cheap

Cons:

very messy

Right so, i'm 20 years old and acne has literally been the bane of my life for 4 years now but the severity of my acne has only really come into play in the last year. I always had pimples and always relied on sudocrem to cure it until i got sick of having to lather my face in this cream so i went to my GP where she put me on tetralysil and duac... this worked for a while but my acne came back worse than ever and flared up when i got stressed over exams etc. I then went on minisol which didnt work and now im monotrim 300mg. I have literally tried every acne product and home remedy under the sun and no matter what the doctor or the derm says i always end up coming back to this cream. in the last couple of days ive noticed that my face had been evening out due to the antibiotic but the redness was still there. after about five nights of sudocrem the redness was gone and im nearly acne free having spent literally hundreds on acne treatments in the past.... SO BUY THIS

Pros:

doesn't irritate skin.
blends old and new scars.
clears up each spot completely over night if not stops them from getting worse.

Cons:

can irritate skin when cleansing in the morning if left on over night.

sudocrem was the first thing i ever used when my acne started 4 years ago, the odd spot would come and go overnight with the help of sudocrem. after just a few months of using this i was spot free for at least 6 months. i then started to use marijuana which made my skin terrible, all the side effects like anxiety paranoia and sudden changes in body temprature really aggravated my skin to a point where i was in great pain both pshysically and emotionally. with help i put a stop to my dope habit, and sure enough my skin got slightly better over time. i started to seek help, i tried every acne related cream tablet oil lotion under the sun, although some would work really well it was only short term. i lost hope and my skin was bright red and blotchy and covered in spots as a side effect of all the harsh chemicals. it wasnt till a few weeks back i visited my mum and she reminded me of sudocrem. i stocked up, and have been using it whenever i am indoors, just a thin layer and slighty thicker in affected areas. its been a week or two now and my breakouts are getting further apart less severe and arent leaving any new scars. on top of that my orginal scars are almost completely faded and my skin is smooth. i reccomend this product directly after shaving also. thanks for reading my little essay if anyone does :) and i hope this product works for you !

Pros:

- Drys out spots without drying the rest of your face.
- Antibacterial so helps to prevent some breakouts
- Really cheap.
- Easy to get a hold of.
- Reduces Redness

Cons:

- Very white so can't be used during the day (even under makeup).
- Can get over bedsheets and pillows so can be messy.
- You can look a bit "greasy" until the morning.

Sudocrem is really easy to get a hold of and its great for tons of things so having a pot in the house really can't hurt you. I use this every other evening alongside a harsher topical treatment that dries my skin out. The Sudocrem helps to soften my skin inbetween the harsher dosage of BP I use and still helps to reduce my spots. I also use it as spot on treatment if I get a spot on my cheeks or forehead where I don't get acne and it really does work almost overnight.

Pros:

Reduces redness and acne scarring within 2 applications.
Dries bigger spots up
Keeps the skin clear if applied each night
Balances PH levels of oilly skin
It is undamaging to the skin
Very cheap

Cons:

None what so ever however it makes your face look like casper

I would not use if on antibiotics in which dry your skin out. Excellent product i have tried everything for around 1 year now and my acne especially on my jawline has become aggressive aswell as the odd spots on the rest of my face. After aplying one night and leaving it on the redness reduced dramatically, the big spots dried up after a few nights, and my skin tone looks even and healthy. I use this everynight before bed and then use johnsons baby lotion on the morning to keep my face moisturized. I have done this routine for 2 months now and touch wood i have not developed any spots. The comments are amazing.
