Pros:

Cheap, sold in many different shops, works (for a little while).

Cons:

Stopped working after a while and seemed to make my acne worse.

I think this cream is just too thick. at first it worked really well, but after a while I found my spots were getting bigger and more aggressive. I've stopped using it now and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. My sister had the very same reaction.

Pros:

Has a nice baby smell
helps reduce redness somewhat if you have lighter skin

Cons:

Really hard to spread around your face, it looks really greasy especially if you have darker skin.
The packaging isn't really user friendly, it's not hygienic when you put your fingers in the jar every time.
Made me break out after using it for a week

I think this product looks like it's working but it's actually not. At first I thought that it worked cause my redness was becoming less. But after a few days using this product it was getting harder to wash it off in the morning. So I stopped using it. What I discovered was that my redness came back. My theory is that as you rub it in, the cream stays on your face and is just masking everything, so it will look like it is working when it's actually not.

Pros:

it makes your face smooth.

Cons:

it makes your face white and its hard to take it of.

i bought sudocrem yesterday and i honestly have to say it was a bump. It didn't work one bit it just made me have more spots on my face. Nothing can get rid of your spots but time you just have to wait especially if your young. So im just starting to drink alot of water and buying alot of fruit it actually makes you feel fresh if you eat it all the time and also try to get some rest spots are normally caused by stress thats how i got mine so treat yourself by going to the spa and relax. But we all have different skin types so just because sudocrem didnt work for me dosn't mean it wouldn't work on you. Good luck!

Pros:

Does help reduce redness and size.

Cons:

Does not actually get rid of spots and if you wear make up, you'll see the lumps from wear the spots are,
Also, does not prevent spots therefore news ones often come up.
Very white, you couldn't go out with it on.

For me personally, Sudocrem didn't work. Everyone's skin is different so it may work for you:) I have had acne problems for about a year now and the only thing that has ever seemed to work is when i go to the doctors and they prescribe me acne treatment. My acne is not that bad, I have no spots on my nose or forhead just some on my cheeks. and a few on my chin. At the moment my spots are clearing up very quickly. What I am doing is; As soon as I wake up I wash my face with Clearasil Daily Care Skin Perfecting Wash. I am then putting Stiemycin on my face, leaving it to dry and I then put my make up on. Then at night time I wash my face with Clearasil overnight wash and then put Differin Gel on it and leave that on over night. I find it also helps to exfoliate my skin 2 times a week. Hope this helps! I am from England so for me it will be in pounds, so where it says $3 I actually mean £3

Not effective for large areas of skin

Pros:

Reduced inflammation slightly
Reduced redness
Cheap and safe to use

Cons:

Very thick; it is comedogenic, so may cause more harm than good in the long run.
Slightly difficult to wash off (leaves white patches)

Sudocrem is honestly a quick fix, and not very effective at all for treating larger areas of pimples. My friend suggested I try it when I started getting spots around my chin. It soothed the area and reduced the size of the spots for about a couple of days, but it didn't seem to diminish the acne or stop other spots from forming. It is also very thick, and can leave white patches if not washed off properly (it takes more than water to wash Sudocrem off). My skin was not able to breathe with this on, and due to the lack of improvement, I decided to stop using it. It is also targeted towards other skin problems, such as eczema and bed rashes. It is not solely for acne, and will only soothe the area for a short period. I recommend this product to anybody who may suffer from the odd one or two spots, rather than acne. A cream derived specially for acne is better for those who wish to treat areas of stubborn spots.

Pros:

can help acne to some extent
moisturing
helped popped spots

Cons:

people said you can put it under make up, but it just made me skin really dry and gross.
didn't really do much for me
when I stopped using it, I broke out a bit

id say give this a go because nothing can really go wrong. it can be a bit greasy and you will look stupid after application! but you have to make sure you pat it on and don't rub it in!!!! but, my friend used it and she said it works great for her so I guess it can depend on your skin type. also, people have said that it has been drying? the only time I noticed dryness was when I put make up over it. but apart from that it was very moisturising for my dry skin!
