Pros:

- It's fun to put on
- It is an antiseptic so it prevented my break outs
- It worked for me for a couple of weeks and it made my skin clearer and less oily
- It's nice and cheap, so it wouldn't be much of a loss of money if it didn't work out for you

Cons:

- I found that it worked less and less over time, and I feel that it tends to contribute more than treat :( but i have oily teenage skin.. it may work for you!

Buy it just to try if it's for you, put it on every evening after removing make up or washing your face, rub it in well and let it sink in (try steaming your face to open your pores). But it may become less active over time because your skin might get used to it, or something along those lines. Hoped this helped! :)

Pros:

awesome! i had a spot that i stupidly picked and it left a massive red patch on my face, 5 days of applying a thin layer of sudocrem at night and it was gone! also works very well for spots that havent been picked :)

Cons:

stains pillows, and sometimes if it hasnt all soaked in it can take a while to get rid off the remaining white bit left on your face in the morning. doesnt smell that great, but once your asleep you wont know it

brilliant! but it and use it. it will gets rid of any spots perfectly

Pros:

Actually works unlike all the other branded over priced rubbish availble on the shelves out to con us out of our cash.
Easy to apply
Smells OK and is CHEAP!

Cons:

Tub doesnt exactly look very nice - but its whats in the tub that counts

I have been using sudocrem on my skin every evening before bed for just over a week and i can already quite clearly see the improvements, a majority of my spots have gone or are just very small blemishes, the stuff has worked wonders on problematic areas such as my chine and occasionally my tzone. I think i have tried every product in superdrug with little to no effect, other than the very noticable effect on my bank balance. I have never written a review for a product before but since i have been using sudocrem i really thought i would share my thoughts with everyone who is probably feeling quite desperate to find an effective treatment for acne. At 2.65 a pot in my local Boots i thought it was worth a try and i am so glad i did - Give it a go - it just might be the treatment you are looking for!!

Pros:

I suffer from breakouts on my jawline and this helps reduce the size and redness of spots. It also stops the urge to scratch and pick at them!

Cons:

The colour.

Worth a try, although I find my skin gets used to it and I have to change to something else, every 10 days or so. I also use dermalogica overnight clearing gel as an alternative

Pros:

Smells nice, does reduce redness, may help reduce spot size, cheap

Cons:

Kinda greasy, not the most effective thing i've tried

Give it a go :) I bought a medium tub from Boots for about £3 over a year ago and theres still loads left, it doesn't expire until 2010 This thick white cream has a nice lavender scent, which personally i rather like but my boyfriend isn't so keen on - he says it smells of old people talcum powder! I apply a thin layer of this to my spots morning and night. Make sure you blend it in well in the morning as you would with foundation or you will have a deathly white face! At night you can afford to apply it a little thicker. I do find it helps to a certain extent with redness and swelling but certainly hasn't "cured" my acne - it may be different for you, this is a cheap product so give it a go! If you have pale skin this can kinda work as a light-reflecting concealer! Forget YSL Touch Eclat, a dab of this applied carefully can make spots less visible which is always a good thing in my book! I don't use any other skin coverage makeup, just this to make spots a

Pros:

Fantastic cleared acne over night, smells great and leaves skin feeling as smooth as a babies bum.

Cons:

Hm, that's a toughie. Gun to my head I'd say it's a little too expensive, but I'm knit picking.

If you can afford it, GET IT! It will change your life!

Pros:

Cheap, easy to use, works good for red spots

Cons:

Feels oily, you tend to use more than you need. Just a little bit is enough...otherwise it might clog the pores, not suitable for wearing in public.

I mainly use this product when I squeezed pimples and blackheads to reduce the swelling and redness. Really works. I put this on overnight, or day (like now, I don't have to go out anyway). It doesn't seem to clog pores and I just think it's a great product. I also think, since it is made for babies it is not loaded with chemicals like over the counter products.

Pros:

Effective treatment for spots, inhibits bleeding of spots due to its viscosity, calms inflamed skin, medicated to be safe for long term use due to UK Law,pleasant smell.

Cons:

Its thickness, staining of clothing, hard to wash out

This product is medicated due to UK guidelines meaning its very safe and effective. Worn overnight while you sleep it absorbs easily into your skin, removing spots, clearing oily patches and treating broken skin. Its highly antiseptic and calming formula has worked for me for years. This used in conjunction with weekly dosages of glycolic acid is baffling. p.s. buy the bigger tubs there bulk nature means you save money in boots.
