Calamine Lotion

When I say I've tried everything for my acne, I mean EVERYTHING! With no success, then I heard about calamine lotion. I was skeptical because I truely believed nothing would work for me butthis did. You must make sure your skin is well moisturised though because it can dry skin out and make it flaky. Another Pro is that while it may not make red marks disappear it does fade them somewhat and makes them easier to cover up. So, this will defo be the only acne treatment I will use from now on.

Did not know about calamine lotion until my niece, kisha, got chicken pox and got a prescription for it. Worked wonders on her and I decided to use it on my acne spots as an experiment. I applied overnight and by morning all the huge pimples had dried up.After 15 years of acne problem here was such a simple cheap solution.

From light acne to severe this works great! Makes pimple smaller and less red. Great used with an asprin mask. Just mix asprin with a few drops of water, apply to biggest, redest pimples, then fill in the rest with calamine lotion, it's the best acne treatment, i'm telling you it is! You have to try this! Use EVERY night before bed and wash off in the morning (MAKE SURE YOU SHAKE THE BOTTLE!) it's not a lotion, it's more of a liquid.

I was a tad skeptical about the effectiveness that calamine lotion had in eliminating acne, but with the combination of drinking plenty of water, taking vitamins, and applying calamine lotion to the affected areas on my face I noticed such a different by the fifth day. My skin feels and looks softer and my acne is almost completely gone. Even the red marks which are typically left after a pimple has healed is almost unnoticeable. For those with very sensitive skin like mine, I strongly recommend using calamine lotion as it does not irritate or burn it.

I use Calamine Lotion for insect bites (mosquitoes and my pet's fleas love me) and on a whim decided to use it on an active pimple. I'd read reviews and was desperate. Definitely worked! Dried up my pimple almost instantly and it went away within a day! Who would have thought?!

I was so desperate because my pregnancy acne was really out of control, and I don't have any options when it comes to medications. My face was in so much pain (I have never had acne before my pregnancy) and I was just so embarrassed, I didn't want to step outside. I saw it sitting in the medicine cabinet and decided, why not give that a try? The next morning, I couldn't believe how much my face improved. This is the last acne medication I will ever buy!

Heals my blemishes fast and dries out pimples. Helps relieve itchiness. Doesn't cause irritation unlike other acne topical treatments. I'd rather use this than BP or SA.

I use the CVS brand which has good, minimal ingredients compared to other brands. It also has a kind of zinc and bentonite magma, and bentonite/montmorillite clay is good at drawing out toxins and other "bad" substances from the clay. i use it as a spot treatment using a Q-tip. I tried using it over my whole face and it made my skin too dry and broke out. so, just use it as a spot treatment, and make sure you get a good brand of calamine lotion with minimal ingredients that won't clog your skin further. I'm guessing it was around $5.00, can't remember the exact price, not too expensive though.

I've fallen in love with Calamine lotion. I tend to take out my stress by attempting to "control" the acne on my face, which, I know now, usually takes the form of picking at my acne. Unfortunately, this left me with a swollen, bright red bump on my chin a few days ago. I already had three other scabs on my chin, and I was desperate for a solution. Fast forward two and a half days: after using calamine lotion on all these spots repeatedly (about three times per day, trying to at least leave it on for a couple hours each time), my scabs are completely gone (several of them I picked at AGAIN - this time following Dan's instructions, though), and I'm just left with some flat, red marks on my face. Not bad; I can easily cover them with makeup and they're invisible. Also, the calamine hasn't overly dried out my face!
