Pros:

Works for moderate acne
Calms skin

Cons:

Was expensive where I bought it.
It's scented. (Not a bad scent but I prefer unscented products.)
Feels kinda greasy
Can dry your skin

I use this as a night mask before bed and haven't had much of the little pimples anymore and when I do this stuff takes care of them fast. I have cystic acne and it does nothing for the cysts but keeps the moderate stuff away. So overall not my miracle cure but would definitely recommend for people with lighter acne. Also recommend using a moisturizer with this as it can dry out the skin, but everyone should use a moisturizer anyway.

Pros:

Helps heal ruptures, reduces redness and eliminates small breakouts.

Cons:

Isn't so effective on cyctic acne, and sometimes causes whiteheads to develop on prexisting red pimples.

This product is cheap, so it's worth a shot. It's also effective as a general antiseptic/anti rash (shaving) cream. I find that it clears small zits near the hairline overnight, but isn't always the best product to put on cystic acne if you don't want the pimple to develop further. Definately reccomend it for light acne, or for certain areas, but not for severe cases. Use it during the healing process after you've defeated the initial breakout. I'm in the healing process at the moment, and am finding it beneficial to reduce redness and scarring.

Pros:

-Seemed to dry active acne.
-Seemed to fade red marks and leave a smooth skin tone.

Cons:

-After applying thickly after work hours and leaving it on for the entirety of the evening and then using duac (BP+ Clindamycin) before going to bed, I found my skin was become a bit too dry.
-Thick, messy and cannot be worn throughout the day... and I wouldn't attempt wearing it at night.

It seemed to fade marks out dry out current/ active acne which is, of course, what anyone wants; new spots to go very quickly and old marks to fade. But when using with nightly applications of BP, my skin seemed too dry. Zinc oxide can also be taken as a tablet, demonstrating an array of benefits. Sudocrem is primarily used for rashes so I don't suspect the ingredients are very harsh- I haven't noticed any. On the other hand, I think it was simply too messy to triumph as a easy, hassle- free acne treatment. Definitely worth a try; it will most likely leave you with uplifting results as mentioned.

Pros:

Gets rid of small spots

Cons:

Can dry your skin out, leaves a mark unfortunately, you look like a white ghost & smells

It is good but it does take a day or two for the spot to go away.

Use carefully
When I put a concentrated amount of this cream on pimples/cysts/whiteheads that are right near to the surface and are ready to be popped, sucocrem seems to the job for me. Instead of me pinching and possibly scarring as well as infecting the skin around the spots, sucocrem gently drains outs the pus. All I need to do is wait for a couple of hours or so and then carefully wipe it away. If you have oily skin with clogged pores, I do not recommend you to slather your face in this cream overnight as you can wake up with pimples everywhere. But definitely try this technique of draining out spots!

Pros:

-Reduces Redness

-Dried out spots & reduced their size

Cons:

-Very, very messy, it gets everywhere!

-You can't wear it during the day if you are going out, as it is a pure white colour

-Leaves my skin quite greasy

I've been using it for a week, and it has reduced my acne somewhat, but there's still a way to go. I use it at night (with a towel on my pillow and my hair tied and clipped back, because it tends to love spreading around everywhere) and if I'm not going out, I have it on during the day too, although sometimes I'll forget it's there and go to touch my face and it gets all over my hands!

Doesn't get rid of spots, but speeds up healing and reduces redness
I used this to help with the dry skin and redness I got using benzoyl peroxide- really helps to tone it down and is also very good to use on spots that are healing as it speeds it up and they don't leave as much of a mark.
