Great product, but not sure about pimples
That did not stop any one my blemishes to grow. On the contrary, it seemed to make them worse. Good for lots of things, but not sure about acne!

The dream cream
I have been using sudocrem for the last month or so when my friend recommended it to me; and I'm so glad I listened! Even though I used to have a rather mild acne on my face, it was more severe and painful on my chest and back. So, when I started using it as part of my evening routine, within a week my skin was practically clear! I also noticed it didn't dry out my skin and in fact, helped cure the dry skin which I had previously between my breasts. However, it doesn't help get rid of acne scarring and is impossible to wear during the day as it is thick, so leaves my skin looking paler and oily.

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:

Heals red marks and spots well
Very cheap
Not harsh at all, so great for sensitive skin (like mine)
Works fast
One pot lasts for ages
You know its not damaging your skin at all

Cons:

Makes you white, so you cant use it in the day under make-up, you have to use it in the nights
Some people don't like the smell

A really great product, worked 10 times better for me than Proactive, Clearasil etc, cheap, lasts for ages

Pros:

It words really well
It is easy to apply
Although it has a bad smell it isn't repulsive
It doesn't bleach anything

Cons:

If your acne is on your face you can't wear it in the day... unless you like the ghost look...

I've been using sudacrem for about two months now as I suffer with terrible acne on my back. The Doctor had prescribed several medications for me including Duac. None of these seemed to work and I got rather sick of the Duac bleaching my clothing ... I noticed that the tub of sudacrem said acne and decieded to give it a go. It works brilliantly. As I use it on my back I can wear it both night and day and the redness and swelling has reduced massively. I do however note that when I don't wear it for a night or two the redness returns so I have to be pretty consistent. I don't use anything other than sudacrem and hot water (when I'm having a shower) as i find that certain bubblebaths and othe shower gells effect it.)

Pros:

Reduced redness of spots significantly
Did not sting
Was fast

Cons:

Better for individual spots rather than acne as a whole, doesn't help blackheads, messy and cannot be worn during the day.

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.

Pros:

Smells amazing, is antiseptic, and heals any irritated skin. Put it on at night and the next morning your pimple will be small. Comes in many different sizes, from a real big one to a medium one and even a tiny travel one! and its so multi purpose.

Cons:

really white, stains the pillow. Also it says it's used for eczema, but on my eczema and other areas on my face it made me flake a lot..

It really works. Despite the whiteness (which can washed next morning, but it is hard to get off), I swear by it, for pimples it really works. If you don't have super dry skin like me, its perfect for you. And I haven't heard anyone else complaining of flakiness, so maybe its just me

Made me break out - badly
I was using sudocrem on a couple of big spots on the right side of my jaw/cheek because I read good reviews on here. I used it for about a week and each time I had to apply a larger amount of sudocrem because the area that had big spots was growing. I stopped yesterday after noticing the difference between the left and right side of my face. I've broken out on the right side of my face (where I was using the cream) worse than I have done in years. The left side of my face is fine. I wish I could post photos to show the difference. Sudocrem might work for some people, but it completely aggravated my acne

Not effective for large areas of skin

Pros:

Reduced inflammation slightly
Reduced redness
Cheap and safe to use

Cons:

Very thick; it is comedogenic, so may cause more harm than good in the long run.
Slightly difficult to wash off (leaves white patches)

Sudocrem is honestly a quick fix, and not very effective at all for treating larger areas of pimples. My friend suggested I try it when I started getting spots around my chin. It soothed the area and reduced the size of the spots for about a couple of days, but it didn't seem to diminish the acne or stop other spots from forming. It is also very thick, and can leave white patches if not washed off properly (it takes more than water to wash Sudocrem off). My skin was not able to breathe with this on, and due to the lack of improvement, I decided to stop using it. It is also targeted towards other skin problems, such as eczema and bed rashes. It is not solely for acne, and will only soothe the area for a short period. I recommend this product to anybody who may suffer from the odd one or two spots, rather than acne. A cream derived specially for acne is better for those who wish to treat areas of stubborn spots.

Makes a difference

Pros:

Cheap (ish)
Gentle for sensitive skin (like mine)
Reduces soreness and redness of spots

Cons:

I only use it before bed as it doesn't sink in very well so it looks white on the skin

Sudocrem is great for healing large, red angry spots as it tends to make them less sore. So many other spot treatements have just dried out and damaged my skin so its great that I don't need to worry about that with sudocrem.
