Pros:

Dries up pimples,leaves skin smooth/soft

Cons:

Pinkish tone-only wear at night OR you could use a thin thin layer on oily spots under your make up to keep the shine away

I started getting acne a year ago, when I was 13. Sure I havent had it all my life like some people but acne is acne, no body wants it on their face. I put this stuff on my entire face as a mask, and if it starts to get a little dry, I just do spot treatment. You put it on at night and you wake up and it's clear clear clear. :D I recently started using this at night for spot treatments and milk of magnesia during the day under my makeup to control shine/oily-ness. Calamine works great, so I'd go get yourself some!

Pros:

- calms acne
- reduces pimples
- washes off easy

Cons:

- leaves white/pink colour on skin, can only use at night
- dries your skin out

my acne is kinda bad but every face wash I've used from Cetaphil to Clean & Clear, but everything irritates my face & makes my skin and acne bright red. Calamine lotion drys the pimples up so in the morning they sort of blend with my skin, instead of looking inflamed and red. it doesn't clear all the acne, but it's the best thing i've tried =]

Pros:

Drys.. Fast.. Reduces Redness

Cons:

Smells..BAD! :D

calimine.. [how ever u spell it] is used to treat poison ivy- it dry's it out and reduces the redness, flattening the pore. so, obviously it works on your face. it's cheep, and easy to find at your local drug store.

Pros:

-Pimples Dissapear Quickly
-Drys out oils

Cons:

-Overdrying if you put it on a large area

I recently just started getting a lot of pimples on my forehead. I am one of those people who cant stand pimples, and will do anything to get rid of them...i have tried a bunch of products and nothing worked. (I am also very impatient)...i read on this site that Calamine Worked Great, so i gave it a try its, been about 4 days, and i've definately seen improvement...i'm so excited...and if it drys out your skin,just use some Oil Free moisturizer. For all of you who are having trouble with pimples, and dont want to go outside without makeup on...give it a try, it can't hurt...it just REALLY helps!!!

Pros:

Everything! Clear skin overnight!

Cons:

NONE. For those who don't wear it out of the house: After washing face in the morning put it on. Then put foundation on. IF you dont wear foundation then use the clear stuff. Then you wont get that annoying shine of of oil at the end of the day!!

AMAZING!!

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:

It worked in 3 nights to totally clear all of the zits and pempoles on my chin and nose!

Cons:

Can only wear at night do to pink tone.

I was having breakout after breakout, i discovered calamine lotino on here, i started wearing it to sleep and 3 days later my achne was gone, to prevent it from reaccuring i still wear the calamine lotion mask at night, and wash my face 2 times a day with head and shoulders classic clean, i used the generic brand for both and spent like 2 dollars total. I used to pay 6 dollars a tube for biore, and 4 dollars a tube for clearsil, didnt work, caused a lot of scarring, calamine lotion is helpin with the scarring a lot!
