Oh my GOODNESS SO GOOD
I'm someone who spends A LOT of money of serums and now I feel dumb because out of everything this has worked the best. This literally worked overnight for me. I kept seeing this on Instagram to use for acne scars so I thought, "why not" and wasn't expecting much and put it on before bed. I woke up the next day and could visibly see that the scars had faded. I'm absolutely stunned. So glad I tried it. I love it and couldn't be happier.

Pros:

It made old red marks look better

Cons:

It clogged my pores and left me with small bumps all over. Did not prevent new acne

The clear caladryl sucks! It clogged my pores and gave me small bumps all over. The actual calamine did not have this effect, but did not prevent acne either.

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:

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!
