Pros:

I just tried this a day ago and it works! it doesnt seem to have any smell, if only a bit of one. Its cheap, and if its runny just close the bottle and shake it for a bit! IM SO HAPPY IT CLEARED ALL MY ZITS!

Cons:

I dont think that theres any cons other than that it stands out on your face, but you can use it at nighttime and then wash it off in the morning.It can make your face a little dry, but thats no matter!

THIS WORKS! i especially reccomend this to anybody that has oily skin, it helps to fix that.

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.

Pros:

works very well, leaving skin pretty flawless

Cons:

only use at night as it might look a bit weird during the day

i have also read that milk of magnesia supposedly clears skin quickly, so i have ordered some online, just the plain version not any flavoured kind. i am sitting here with calamine lotion on my face right now, it is a miracle cure for spots. if u find it a bit runny, u can pour a bit out in a small container and let it sit for a few hours, it thickens into an ideal thick paste for easy application

This page seemed harder to find the second time around; and I came back to report my progress after about two months or so. The result has been pleasant, but it does not deserve as much hype as I previously gave it. Don't get it wrong; this is a great product that has greatly enhanced my backne problem, going from pretty bad to much better (as if that serves as any indication...) Bottom line holds that with some OXY Maximum Daily Wash 10% used in the shower followed by a moderate layer of calamin lotion, it works.
