Pros:

Cheap
Little pot goes a long way
Clears up redness quickly
Reduces swelling & sore skin

Cons:

Not a cure
Using it too much will trap moisture

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!

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:

Cheap- very!
Reduces redness
Reduces swelling of spots
Won't hurt or dry out your skin

Cons:

Messy
Cannot be worn during the day

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!

Pros:

reduces redness from first use! cheap, smells nice. I applied for the first time at night, and by the morning there was a noticeable change in my skin! Best none prescription treatment I've ever used :)

Cons:

not a long term cure for severe acne, complements oral medication! But alone I dont think sudocrem would work wonders on severe acne

Buy! Definitely better than any other spot product on the market

Pros:

Helps to reduce redness of spots, dries them out quicker and is a good cheap alternative to most spot creams.

Cons:

Doesn't cure spots and has no effect on black heads.

It's probably best to wear it during the night although if you rub it in enough you can wear it during the day (done it plenty of times) My skin is quite greasy but has actually made it less greasy and softer. Reduced size and redness of spots in less than a week. I'm from the U.K so I didn't buy it in dollars...so I'll just put $2...

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!

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.
