Sudocrem : Antiseptic Healing Cream

I have used this a few times on areas of skin irritation, and inflamed acne spots. It does leave a white residue, but I tend to just pop a bit on then wipe the residue off to some extent after about an hour. I don't have alot of inflamed acne, which is what I think sudocrem is best for. It shrunk these spots, and really helped heal up bumps from scratching on my body (I know terrible, but it only occurs rarely!). PS. If you get any form of irritation such as chafing it's great for that too! I have tried this on comedonal acne, but it really did absolutely nothing for it. However, I have kept this product for its other uses. Definitely reccomend for use as a spot treatment for inflamed acne, as it does also help take away the redness in a matter of days.

I don't understand how people can say it blocks pores, I've used this stuff every night for months, maybe even a year now and my skin feels smooth and looks young.. Maybe you're not washing it off completley. Apparantly it's good for heavier acne, If i get the odd spot now and then i'll use it, however i don't get break outs so often, more than likely due to the fact i've been using this stuff ALL the time. 5/5 10/10 5 stars etc.

It's an excellent product and I think more people should become more aware of how well it actually works . This can really help to inprove peoples lives that suffer from acne because it can give them more confidence.

hope it will work better as i keep using it .. working well already!

I use this every night as my skin is very dry and it helps sooth it. I defiantly recommend it if you have dry skin and find that every other moisturiser makes you break out, but just try to avoid applying it on your spots as I find that in some cases it makes them worse as it blocks your pores. It is meant to reduce the redness in your acne scars as well but I haven't noticed any difference.

I find the sudocrem does reduce redness dramatically, however I although it does get rid of some sports due to its drying nature acting against sebum, it doesn't actually make acne stay gone for long and I have noticed that it can cause more little sports to appear (may be due to its thickness?) However I have been following Dan's regime and instead of using a moisturiser or glycolic acid I've supplemented it with sudocrem and I've seen wonders so far, I just hope it continues! Try it out!

Crude but simple and quite effective. A good all-round spot healing cream that's good for the skin and has numerous other applications too. Its thick white colour immediately helps reduce the appearance of redness. Can be dabbed onto individual spots are used as a mask to clear larger areas. Apply daily after cleaning your face.

This does not age the skin like BH products which I was previously using until I heard the long term damage they do. I dont think it is effective as products like quinoderm but the long term effects of using this cream should be none unlike BH products. This is a safe product which helps heal problem skin. I will use this after my outbreak heals and see if it is in anyway preventative and write a review if it is, but I suspect it wont be and is a treatment when you already have the spots.

An excellent product - I have spent so much money and time on products to help my acne (which I would class as moderate to severe), and all the while, I had Sudocrem in my cupboard. The 125g tub costs roughly £3 from Boots (an English drugstore) and so far one tub has lasted me about a year (and I still have some left in there!). I would recommend putting this on as a thin layer over the whole face/neck/chest (wherever the acne is) before you go to bed, but the skin should be as dry as possible as the cream repels water. It takes a while to absorb in fully, but when I first used it, overnight I noticed a change in my skin - some spots were already reduced in size and redness, and many of the whiteheads had disappeared totally. Recommended to anybody with skin problems - it works wonders on burns and eczma too! My skin type is combination and there was no effect on the oiliness or dryness of the different areas of my face. Just a note, do not wear beneath make-up!!

i have done this for over 15 yrs!! & it works, worked for me as a teenager & still does, now i'm usineg on my teenage son & hes well pleased wth the results too. costs about £3.00
