Sudocrem : Antiseptic Healing 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.

It works well, but it's a mess since it sticks to my bed coverings. Can't be worn during the day because you'd look like a right (...).

I'm 14 and have had bad skin for ages I've tried basically everything and nothing seemed to work my mum told me to put sudocrem on my spots one night and in the morning my spots had been less noticeable I also use zinc healthy skin tablets and my skin is getting so much better and I use rosehip oil to get rid of the scarring.

I only bought this today and i barely have any form of spots on my ace so i would recommend this product to ANYONE as it is the best i have come across ever it works better than toothpaste! and dosent leave behind scars or irritation so if you are looking to get rid of those very heavy looking spots make sure you buy a tub of sudocream :)

I am a 22 year old girl and I developed acne around 10 months ago. My Acne and pigmentation on my cheeks has 70% gone in just 3 days! Here is what I have been doing: *Washing my face, gently for 10 seconds on affected area with a standard facewash (mine is Nivea daily wash) *Let dry *Apply Benzoyl peroxide (I've worked my way up to 10% over the last 6 months) *Leave 15 minutes *Apply Sudocrem all over affected area (not too thickly) *Sleep *Wash face in the morning, the same as first point. In 3 days this has dramatically helped my acne and I am so happy. I have tried everything from cheap spot creams to laser treatment at £200 a pop (which didn't even work) and so far, this is the best...AND THE CHEAPEST! I would say that it does sting for about 5 minutes when I apply it, others say it doesn't. I just work through it and it is worth it in the morning- I guess it is the anitseptic in the cream that makes it sting? I hope it works for you, acne is horrible and takes your confidence! It's friday night and for once- I'm feeling good about going out :)

Basically, I am a fifteen year old girl who has suffered with awful skin since I was thirteen. My skin first started to become bad when I was eleven/twelve, it became very oily and looked greasy and this was way before I started wearing any make up. It has got progressively worse! My skin is the main thing that I really dislike about myself. I can't remember the last time I had perfectly healthy skin with no spots, I always seem to have spots and I hate it. I first tried Sudocrem when I was thirteen, when I first started to get big red spots, mainly on my forehead. It completely took away the redness which I was very grateful for, however I stopped using Sudocrem after I was told by my auntie, who is a nurse, that it makes your skin more oily which is what I didn't want at all considering I already have oily skin. So I stopped using it and tried an unbelievable amount of different products and to be honest absolutely none of them have worked. My skin got a lot worse and now I have a lot of scars and red marks from previous spots. Because I'm now fifteen, I've been put on the contraceptive pill called Marvelon which I was told is supposed to be very good for acne. I've only been on it for two months and I've not noticed much difference yet (they said it would take up to three before I'd see a change) so I decided to go back to Sudocrem! For the past three weeks I've been back to using Sudocrem, putting it on each night after removing my make up and I couldn't be happier. My friends told me just today how much better my skin is looking and I can only thank Sudocrem! I have literally tried EVERYTHING for my spots and nothing seems to work as well. So far it doesn't seem to be making my skin any oilier and is making my spots almost disappear (which trust me has never happened before!!!). Unless the pill (Marvelon) has something to do with it, the only other thing I can thank is Sudocrem! I would definitely advise people with bad acne to try it!

Writing this for my boyfriend, who had quite bad acne for quite a number of years.

I'm 35 and have suffered with acne since I was 19. I've tried pretty much everything there is to try and this stuff has been great for getting my acne to a manageable stage where I can treat individual spots as opposed to the acne mass that I have had to deal with along my jaw line since I came off Dianette 5 years ago. Acne is a misery and my heart goes out to all of you. Baking soda, Manuka Honey & Aspirin are all good too. No cures yet though!

It's good, but only for reducing the redness of one new spot. It did not get rid the spot or anything else - but made it less noticeable.

I love using this product, but only overnight- due to it's thick texture and bright white colour you probably wouldn't want to go out in the day with it on! I think this mainly makes the redness of your spots go down, though I find, depending on the spot type, it does more often than not reduce the swelling. Like most things, it won't make the spots disappear overnight, but it definitely improves them by the morning. Quick tip- you may want to sleep on a towel or something that will protect your pillow! I've found it is more effective for reducing size and redness of spots than any specific spot product I've tried so far. This is cheap and hassle-free enough that even if it's not quite right for you, it's worth a try!
