Pros:

Heals red marks and spots well
Very cheap
Not harsh at all, so great for sensitive skin (like mine)
Works fast
One pot lasts for ages
You know its not damaging your skin at all

Cons:

Makes you white, so you cant use it in the day under make-up, you have to use it in the nights
Some people don't like the smell

A really great product, worked 10 times better for me than Proactive, Clearasil etc, cheap, lasts for ages

Pros:

It words really well
It is easy to apply
Although it has a bad smell it isn't repulsive
It doesn't bleach anything

Cons:

If your acne is on your face you can't wear it in the day... unless you like the ghost look...

I've been using sudacrem for about two months now as I suffer with terrible acne on my back. The Doctor had prescribed several medications for me including Duac. None of these seemed to work and I got rather sick of the Duac bleaching my clothing ... I noticed that the tub of sudacrem said acne and decieded to give it a go. It works brilliantly. As I use it on my back I can wear it both night and day and the redness and swelling has reduced massively. I do however note that when I don't wear it for a night or two the redness returns so I have to be pretty consistent. I don't use anything other than sudacrem and hot water (when I'm having a shower) as i find that certain bubblebaths and othe shower gells effect it.)

Pros:

Smells amazing, is antiseptic, and heals any irritated skin. Put it on at night and the next morning your pimple will be small. Comes in many different sizes, from a real big one to a medium one and even a tiny travel one! and its so multi purpose.

Cons:

really white, stains the pillow. Also it says it's used for eczema, but on my eczema and other areas on my face it made me flake a lot..

It really works. Despite the whiteness (which can washed next morning, but it is hard to get off), I swear by it, for pimples it really works. If you don't have super dry skin like me, its perfect for you. And I haven't heard anyone else complaining of flakiness, so maybe its just me

Personally I think this is amazing... I bought a mini tub Last month and it's not even half gone! I use it at night and put a light coat of it on my spots and scars.. But I don't have bad acne just a few spots popping up.! I have tryed other product such As clean n clear and simple but they didnt seem to work.! Now I literally worship sudocrem :P I would defiantly recommend it to people with acne.! Thank you bye.! :D

Pros:

Hides Blemishes and Cysts really well.
Smells good to me.

Cons:

Hard to spread the texture on your face.
Doesn't seem to prevent breakouts.

People say it prevents acne or heals acne but I dont notice it. What I can say about it is that it hides blemishes well. If you apply a light layer of it, mixed with moisturizer, your face will look much clearer than it actually is. The reason for 5 stars is because even though its not dramatically improving my acne, its making my acne look less noticeable.

Pros:

Amazing; reduces redness, dries out pimples/spots overnight, great for a variety of other uses, lasts for a long time, and only a thin layer is needed (:

Cons:

If too much is applied, you are left with silly white patches where you have applied it, but if you only use a thin amount, it will sink into your skin like a moisturiser.

This product is amazing; I wouldn't neccessarilly say I had acne, but I get the few odd blemishes which really knock my confidence; like a lot of other people, I tried almost every other treatment in the Superdrug isle, from facewashes to creams, yet none of them seemed to work in the long run, as my face becomes immune to the ingredients. After spending so much money, I came to a simple conclusion of using Sudocrem, and overnight, any slight redness had almost disappeared! I also find that it reduces any scarring from previous imperfections on the skin. I tend to use Clearasil Skin Perfecting Wash, and a Clearasil toner twice daily, and apply the cream overnight, too see quickest results and keep my skin baby soft. If anyone out there is suffering from blemishes, spots, or mild to moderate acne, I would reccommend that you try this product, it works wonders, and is amazingly cheap for what it does(:

Pros:

Everything! Really cheap, works better than any other over the counter spot cream, and the numerous prescription only creams I've been prescribed. Works as a good mattifying base before foundation. Good for sensitive skin as it doen't irritate.

Cons:

If you have dark skin it'll probably make your face look a little pale. I'm pale anyway though so it isn't a problem for me at all. May not be effective for very severe acne - doctor should be the first port of call.

Basically, I started using this about 3 months ago and I now swear by it. Wish someone had told me about this before - would have saved myself 15 years of going back and forth to the doctors and trying everything under the sun to keep my acne at bay! I have sensitive skin as well as having acne, so all of the other creams I have used just make it sore and red. This makes my skin feel moisturised without being greasy and gets rid of spots really quickly. I highly doubt it blocks pores, and have seen no evidence of this at all. I'm not suprised the dermatologist the previous reviewer visited told her to stop using it - it'll put him out of business and stop people throwing their money down the drain on expensive skin treatments that the lovely pharmacuetical companies and private dermatologists try to flog to those of us who are unfortunate enough to have bad skin!!

I would recommend this, tried so many stuff been to professionals and was given a gel called differin which made it even more red and sore and my friend also says so.
