Wonderful!
As a 16 year old teen I would actually cry about my acne sometimes and Sudocreme was the last thing on my mind to try, and yes of course it didn't "cure" my acne but nothing else has worked as well as it. My skin is much better just by dabbing sudocreme on any spots or red areas, it completely calms them down and they become so less noticeable. It's definitely worth a try :) I created an account just to review this product so I would recommend to just at least give it a go.

Pros:

It doesn't smell, its cheap, in my opinion it does help spots, also good for many other things.

Cons:

This varies, but it may not work as fast and effective for different skin types.

Since i got into my teens, i began getting spots. I never suffered from severe acne but i always seemed to have a spot, sometimes i would have a big break out. I've tried all the products, such as clearasil products, everything like that- bottom line: for my skin type they dont work. I've never seen a major difference. i began using sudocream a few and weeks ago, and this difference in my skin has been SO good. I get the occasional spot, but sudocream really drys up the spot and gets rid of it. I would advsie anyone to try it.

Pros:

cheap
effective
smells lovely
pot lasts ages
can be used for millions of things, not just spots.

Cons:

messy to apply
you look silly sitting with a bright white face
slightly drying

I tried this after reading so many positive reviews, and so glad I did. Even after the first night my spots had dried up and my face felt so soft. Im going to keep using this one, as I would like to see how good it is long term; and my boyfriend gets a laugh out of every night seeing my face glow white. I applied a thin layer before bedtime and slept on a towel (your pillow will thank you for it) then washed off in the morning with LUSH's Herbalism cleanser and finished with their Saving Face serum. In the past Iv tried :Clinique (expensive and VERY harsh) :Duac cream (just didnt work) :Benzoyl peroxide (made my skin peel) :Dianette (works great but makes you gain weight) :Erythromicin (again works well but takes an age to have any effect) Definitley worth a try, what have you got to lose?

Pros:

Nice smell, cheap, makes skin soft, doesn't dry skin, can be used for other stuff too - cuts, rashes, bites etc.

Cons:

thick, hard to rub in till faded, greasy under makeup.

As i'm from the UK i paid £1.30 for a 60g tub. I've been using this for a while now and if i have a spot, it usually clears up in a night or three, with a big difference in redness and size after 1 night. I use this at night and wash it off in the morning. I'm nearly 17, had bad acne for 5 years and tried antibiotics, creams, allsorts from the doctors and this seems to have had one of the best responses. :)

Pros:

Nice smell,

Cons:

Very thick

I like this, it seemed to fade my acne scars a little. My skin has improved a lot since using this, i would recommend it again. I put it on before bed and just dont rub it in too much, it stays put, and i wash it off in the morning. This seemed to work the best for me.

Does seem to work!
I am a 35 year old male and have suffered with acne since I was 15 years old. I recently bought a tub of this, and in 4 days it does seem to have made a difference. My nose used to have blackheads and open pores, the blackheads have gone in 4 days and the pores have closed. I had 5 large spots/zits on my chin which are not as red and have reduced in size. I had 2 spots that I could feel coming and put Sudocrem on them straight away, within a day they had 'died'. I therefore, think this works better when you put it on as soon as you feel the spot coming, rather than when it has already formed/visible. I noticed that when the spot had already formed the process of it getting a whitehead was 'speeded up', so rather than getting a big red lump and then getting a whitehead a couple of days later, when I put Sudocrem on the whitehead appeared the next morning which meant I could deal with it/go through the cycle quicker (if that makes senses!). Overall I am thus far impressed with Sudocrem, having tried Zineryt, Doxycycline, Benzoyl Peroxide (DUAC and 2.5% + 10% Benzoyl peroxide), 2% salicylic acid, along with a host of over the counter products.

Pros:

Heals the spot quickly
Makes them go away but took a while for me
Made my skin soft
Helps with many ofther things
Good price
Last ages

Cons:

Messy
Smells a little horrible

I think that sudocrem is great for people that don`t have bad acne like me. Sudocrem easily dries up your spots. I applied Sudocrem by putting it all over my face avoiding mouth, nostrils and eyes. I put a towl over my pillow. When i woke up the spots appeared small & dry i was so shocked! I have been doing this once a week and my skin is nearly clear! Thanks sudocrem.

Pros:

- Dries up tiny pimples that haven't developed into a whitehead yet
- Calms spots that you've popped and are red and sore
- Easy to wash off

Cons:

- Sometimes hard to get the right amount out of the tube

This is a really cheap but effective product. It dries up small pimples that haven't fully developed yet, it calms really red and sore pimples and it helps prevent scarring when it is put on pimples that have been popped. Even if it is not the best product out there, for the price, it is very worthwhile.

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!
