I'm with Emma888. It doesn't work on the acne as such, but the mark that the acne leaves behind are gonners with this super cream.:-) Get a tissue and squeeze out the yellow stuff. ( only when the head goes white/yellow) Wait until it goes down (usually takes on day; two at most) and when there is only a mark/red spot, put the cream on, wait a couple hours (I leave it over night) then your spot will have gone. If you use to pick at it, it still I'll heal, but may take a little longer. Also, apply about 1/2 - 1mm of sudocrem, I've been doing this for two days (I used to pick the scab), and my face is clear. Hope it works XXX Georgia:-)

Great for healing broken skin

Pros:

Helps speed up healing
Cheap
Reduces redness

Cons:

Leaves a white layer

I used Sudocrem quite extensively during my battle with acne and it definitely come in handy. Whenever I'd squeeze a spot, I'd dab a little on the spot and it would accelerate the healing process and also help prevent scabbing. I also found Sudocrem helped reduce redness while on The Regimen. I would add a layer of Sudocrem before bed, on top of my moisturizer and in the morning, my face would be less red, vs having not used it. Sudocrem can be a little drying, so it's important to moisturize well prior to application on your whole face. This product will not block your pores.

Pros:

- Cheap
- Minimizes pimple size
- Reduces redness
- Improves spots

Cons:

- Quite thick
- Bright white so you can't wear it during the day
- Often rubs off of your pillow, sheets and cover during the night
- If applied at night there will still be a generous amount left on your face left in the morning and you have to scrub your face to get it off, which is difficult and it irritates your skin, sometimes worsening acne.

Sudocrem is not 100% great but it is definitely the best problem I have used so far. It's very cheap and easy to afford. I got a small tub for £2.00 and it lasts months. It really improves pimples. If you apply at night, you see a very noticeable improvement in the morning. After about a month, I noticed a very big difference to my acne. It was almost gone. If used consistently for several months, I believe it will get rid of all your acne. On the other hand, Sudocrem is quite thick so it's hard for your skin to absorb most it. Because of this, it rubs off on your pillow, sheets and cover while you are sleeping. My main problem with Sudocrem is that in the morning there's always quite a bit left on your skin and because it's bright white, you have to take it off, which is difficult. You have to scrub and this irritates the skin, sometimes worsening acne. Overall, it's a good product that I would recommend as the pros override the cons.

How about using Bioderma sensibio cleansing water and cotton pads? Make up artists use it. Easily removes oily products.
March 3, 2012

Pros:

leaves skin feeling very smooth
dries out pimples
gets rid of scabbed pimples or old acne marks
cheap

Cons:

can't be worn during the day
may cause more acne is not washed off correctly
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:

Reduces spots quite a lot over one night
usable regularly
Is not harsh on skin
Doesn't stink, or feel nasty
A life saver

Cons:

Dries skin if you apply too much over large area of skin. But Pros definitely out weigh Cons

I love Sudocrem. I have terrible hormonal break outs consisting of cysts, white heads and all the normal nasty stuff. And i've now found a really great regieme including - yup - Sudocrem to deal with them. Wash VERY gently, using only water and my all natural Liz Earle face wash when i feel its needed. Then Liz earle toner, leave for a few minutes, then apply the sudocrem with a cotton bud directly to spots. :) I find its better to use it directly on spots, i used to slap it all over my face but it make me skin flake. So apply just to spots or bad areas. If you use it as often as possible while at home, (I apply it over night, then remove excess in the morning with my toner and re-apply a fresh batch) it will work pretty quickly) Try it :-)

Pros:

Reduces pain
Reduces redness
Speeds up the healing process
Great value for money
Smells good
Can be worn in the day as a barrier between skin and make-up if applied VERY thinly

Cons:

Not suitable for large areas - much more effective on singular spots or very small clusters of spots
The tendency is to smother the spot in cream however this could easily result in pore blockage due to the oily consistency of the cream

I am a 19 year old girl with light acne. When I do get spots they tend to be very painful and appear large. I discovered Sudocrem through a friends recommendation and have never looked back since. I use it in conjunction with Malin and Goetz acne treatment ([link removed] which is essentially just sulphur applied to the skin and left overnight. When I notice a spot emerging I use the Malin and Goetz for the first night and Sudocrem for nights thereafter. This method has never failed to get rid of the spot within 3 days - no matter how large! I have recently been under a lot of stress and this have affected my skin badly so to tackle the problem without altering my lifestyle drastically I have been put on a very intense facial treatment course which includes vigorous extractions and facial peels. I had my first treatment 5 days ago and am still bearing the effects of it. The treatment left my problem areas (cheeks, nose and chin) extremely red and sore. I was told I would experience peeling on these areas and immediately began applying a thin layer of Sudocrem every night. I bumped into the woman who did my extractions by coincidence yesterday and she said commented on how remarkably quickly I was recovering - I can only thank Sudocrem because usually my skin takes far longer than expected to heal.

Pros:

Have been using this for years and it's always helped! I apply every night time before I goto bed and my spots are usually completely gone (if u catch them early enough) or they're much less noticeable. I would recommend just putting dabs of it on your spots and not all over the face though as when on sensitive parts of the face (i.e. eyelids or under eyes) you can sometimes feel a slight stinging sensation.

Cons:

None I absolutely love the stuff!

buy buy buy! if you're not using this for your spots already your missing out.
