Pros:

lasts a long time
soothes skin as well as dries up spots

Cons:

can get messy and look a little silly at home, but who cares!

Im Emma, and im 16. Ive had spots since I was about 13. I dont really get acne, but when i had a major breakout in spots on my forehead, I used sudocrem consistently (left it on all day and night) which is needed for this to work. i have quite oily skin and not sure if this was the right product, but I would clense my face and re apply. on larger spots, this product makes them develop faster, I would get 'puss' after a day of using the sudocrem. However, after this was squeezed out and all the oil from inside was gone, i continued to use this on the spot. this ensured that it was gone completely. although it may look like all your spots are gone when you ahve clear skin, make sure you continue to use spot treatments, if its a face wash or a toner, or sometimes i even put sudeocrem on the areas I am most likely to get spots at nighttime, because i get spots that come straight back after it clears, which can make me really depressed and I hardly want to go out. as I was in england I paid next to nothing and it lasts fort a long time. I used this product with others, I have some clinique that i bought. this was VERY expensive and did work the first time but when my spots came back it didnt have the same effect so I used sudocrem. also I recommend tcp. use this aswell along with the sudecre (not at the same time though) my advice is to just try it, because you wont know if it works for your skin type if you dont. good luck!

WORKS WONDERS!!!
Oh my goodness! I had a huge amount of trouble with my minor acne. I had never ever had spots like this, my skin was always clear with the odd pimple here and there, for me to get about 10 spots at a time-only on my forehead-was definitely out of the ordinary! I reduced the amount of products i was putting on my face, and only washed my face with warm water, and applied sudocreme on the area and left it on overnight for it to sink in. In the morning, i found my spots were completely different! They were almost gone, i would say it would take 2 applications (2 nights) overnight to get rid of the spot completely! I would swear by sudocreme, best spot rememdy i own!! Also, i found my skin was quite dry around my nose, and aqueous cream helped with tha! I love sudocreme!!!

Pros:

it heals cuts etc

Cons:

causes me to have more spots, didnt help my acne at all

Once my spots are dried up and healing i put this on to accelerate the healing, but it just caused all the spots i put it on to re fill, not nice

Incredible!
I am 23 years old and am still having trouble with my skin! :( I have tried nearly everything from medication from the doctor to drinking aloe Vera gel :/ Some things seem to calm the angry spots down and get my hopes up (at least for a few days!) But then they are back with a vengeance! Making me feel very conscious and low! :( Tried sudocrem from a recomendation - did not have high hopes! But honestly I will wash wash my face and apply with a cotton bud to the offending areas ... Sleep in this dot to dot state, and wham bam in the morning the difference is incredible! Highly recommend this to anyone in the same boat as me. Works a treat! :)

Life saver!
I have suffered from acne for years, and I have been prescribed numerous amounts of creams from doctors, whilst also trying many different remedies, yet none really worked, however sudocrem is literally a life saver! I use this every night before I go to bed on my spots (I usually suffer with acne on my chin) and I wake up and the spot has literally vanished! It also removes redness on larger spots whilst slowly decreasing the size of them! I would definately recommend to anyone who suffers with acne!

Pros:

Can be used continuously, unlike other acne treatments or the contraceptive pills which help with skin.
Has none of the side effects of other treatments such as mood swings or DVT, and works just as well.
Gets rid of redness and pimples.
Very cheap and easy to get hold of.
It is easy to add into a before bed and after morning shower routine.

Cons:

Must use every day to avoid even dryer skin than before.

I have been using Sudocrem for around a month and a half to two months, and the redness of my face has subsided massively, with very rare pimples. It works absolutely fabulously, but my skin has seemed to have developed a dependency on it. If I have forgotten to put it on or take my make up off the night before then I pay the price the next day with very sore, red skin that resembles eczema. I do not put on as much as others seem to - I put on a light application before bed and after my morning shower before I put my make up on and this seems to work very well. You MUST make sure you have clean hands before you put it on your face, otherwise you're just rubbing dirt into your pores! I would 100% recommend this to someone who would remember to apply regularly. When I'm not being forgetful it works an absolute treat!

Pros:

Smell ok, works on back acne like nothing else, cheap!!

Cons:

Hard to put on, hands feel a little dry afterwards

This is by far the BEST product I have tried for my backne!! I have suffered for years after going on tetracyclines that made me break out even more. Have basically tried every remedy in the world (teatree, vinegar, clinique regimen, vitamin pills, doctor ´s prescriptions etc) but this creme that i stumbled upon in my sisters bathroom has performed miracles. I do not get any spots these days, and i can see the red marks from old spots fading. Such a great product, amd such a great price. My only concern is that it may be tested on animals, but my next planned step involved vitamin-a treatments that also would have undergone this procedure......

Pros:

Smells good! Reduces redness

Cons:

Ghostly look!

Overall my experience with sudocrem was average, sometimes it seemed to get rid of my spots, but other times they got worse, so I maybe came to the conclusion that overall it wasn't doing much for me! I have very sensitive skin, which is also why tea tree oil didn't agree with me! The sudocrem had no negative effects on the overall health of my skin, just the fact it only seemed to reduce redness of spots but didn't actually clear them.

Pros:

Its good for rashes and scars but i wouldn't highly recommend it for acne as it only has a temporary effect on it. It does however reduce spot size to a minimum but will never actually get completely rid of it.

Cons:

You are defintely not able to wear this creme when going out as it is completely white and does not merge in with skin colour.

Good temporary supplement for skin but if you have real probem go to doctors and find out your blood type and go from there.
