Pros:

Clearer and brighter skin overnight.

Cons:

None

Had stubborn whiteheads for years on my forehead, chin and sides of my nose that never cleared with using any product until I tried Caladryl Clear. It makes my skin smoother, clears my blemishes and takes the redness away. I've even noticed dark pigmented spots are fading. This stuff is great!

Pros:

Works very quickly!
Very cheap!

Cons:

Can only really use it at night

I kept getting very raised white bumps all over my face, and especially my chin which had more of a red appearence. I read about a drying lotion that cost around £20, and i read up reviews on the internet, a doctor said that calamine lotion would do the exact same job and it's a damn sight cheaper, so i tried it, and my face is almost flawless. I would recomment you moisturise your skin after you've washed it off in the morning though :)

Pros:

-Dries up zits fast
-Soothing

Cons:

-Drying
-Seems to fail after a few treatments
-Can only use at night

Calamine lotion isn't a bad choice for minor acne. I find it often clears mine up, but only for about a week at a time. It then becomes quite ineffective, and I have to stop using it for a time. Then, it seems to become effective again. Strange. Anyways, it's probably not a bad idea to try it.
