Pros:

Use calamine lotion with B.P. 10% (mix it in palm of hand) & dab on let dry sleep with it on. It helps peel off open (picked at) pimples.
Dries up & decreases swelling

Cons:

Very drying / not a soft peel of skin

If you're a picker this can calm things down

Pros:

Gets rid of acne scarring i've been dealing with for 3 years!!,gets rid of whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples very quickly!! Safe to use while pregnant(I'm 3 months pregnant)

Cons:

Can be a little drying so use a good moisturizer!

Since getting pregnant with my first child my skin has never been the same! For 3 years now my face has not been 100% clear! I'm someone that will not even walk out the house if i have a bad outbreak so acne was controlling my life! I've tried every product on the Walmart shelves, went to a dermatologist, and nothing helped...i have been using calamine for only two days and WOW it has really helped!! I really break out in the middle of my cheeks and one whole side of my face is completely clear and the old stubborn scarring is just about gone! The right side of my face is still a little bumpy looking due to the fact i have four little pimples on my cheek but i'm sure after one more day my whole face will be 100% clear! I'm pregnant with my 2nd child so i'm looking forward to going out with clear skin this pregnancy thanks to calamine lotion!! I've read that some woman think its no safe to use during pregnancy my OBGYN said its 100% safe. I'm happy i found something that worked!

Pros:

It appears to have shrunen my pimple, and the redness has definately gone down!

Cons:

At the moment I'm not sure if it will get rid of my pimple

So i have this huge pimple on my forehead. I put some of this on yesterday, and it appears to be working. It immediatly soothed my skin, and i'm pretty sure the size of my pimples going down. I'm not sure if it will completely eliminate my pimple, but it really does seem to be helping me. I'm going to continue use and see what happens.

Pros:

Clears acne FAST and reduces redness by A LOT.

Cons:

Dries out skin but that's not a big problem!

I used calamine lotion last night on my acne. Now I only have acne around and between my eyebrows so i put it there because i had a bright red mark from a pimple that USED to be there and i woke up and that was GONE. all my acne was GONE. and i have sensitive skin so this should work for anyone! Try this because I am not wasting any of my time buying different products. Calamine lotion is the way to go!

Pros:

It reduces some of the redness and seems to work a little.

Cons:

it's pink, runny, and dries up and flakes. It looks really dumb when you have it on. It dried up my skin a lot and made it flake.

it's a cheap, quick, marginally effective acne product.

Pros:

It feels nice and cool when you put it on your face, it helps get rid of chicken pox to when i was young my mum used to use it. You notice the pain and redness of the spot has reduced after a while and your face feels softer and smoother. It's great!

Cons:

It dries white and powdery on your face. I would say not to put it on when you are going out because you will look funny so put it on at nightime. The smell is ok but my mine is from Tesco and it is it's own make so other ones could smell different!

I would recommend it to people it's great it makes your face softer, smoother, spot reduced and doesn't dry it out!

Pros:

Love using this product. I have cystic acne and this has cleared up my complexion better than any of the expensive products that I have used. I spot treat at night and they are virtually gone by morning. Also prevents new ones from forming

Cons:

None

Highly recommend! Cheap! A little runny - but if it works that part doesn't bother me at all.
