Calamine Lotion

This product is so amazing. I have bad acne around my neck and on my forhead. On the weekends i wear it all day and night and it reduces the size of my acne and makes some of it go away. I have never found something that works like this. I was so happy when i woke up after about 2 days and I had clearer skin. I would recommend this product to anyone with acne.

Try this people, I mean what is the worst that can happen? you are already dealing with acne. I paid only $3.39 for this stuff. Plain bottle, you name it. I was SO DESPERATE for a fix for my cystic acne, I would not leave the house without a good amount of make up on my face, and It look horrible. The acne only magnified itself. the scarring was unbeliveable. I brought this put it on one night. and in about 6 days my acne started clearing up EVEN THE SCARRING which I thought I was going to have to just live with, for a couple of years. I wet a makeup sponge and put a few drops on it, and spread it lightly on my cheeks, chin and forehead where the acne was its worst. THIS WORKS folks, I am so astonished how easy and well it works I can not believe my own eyes. I still wear a little makeup, only NOT AS MUCH anymore, because the scarring is fading, and I don't see any new bumps appearing. Try it, save some money. don't waste it on acne products that just make fake promises.

Out of all the spot treatments I've ever used, this has to be the best. It's cheap, widely available and you can notice a difference overnight. It reduced redness and turned spots into a faded light red - purple colour which is good enough for me. Even though I've only used this for a day at the moment, I'm going to keep using it as it's very effective, it's definitely worth a try. However it does leave a few white marks and dry patches, but a good face wash or exfoliator should clear that right up.

I have spent a ton of money on acne surgery, Dr visits all the acne products that are out and this works best for me.

I have mild acne, especially around the time of my period, and have tried everything under the sun to prevent/get rid of it. I was using prescription topical lotion, but I read somewhere that Calamine can be really good for your face. I tried it, and its wonderful!! I don't break out nearly as often, and it's actually really good to use underneath my makeup. Thumbs up for me. :) Note: I also take an oral antibiotic, and use toner every night.

I found this really effective almost instantly. It doesnt make my skin feel weighed down and i get so excited in the morning to wash it off and see the results:)

I really like using this as a mask. Make sure you get plain calamine lotion, and not caladryl. The caladryl has a long list of ingredients (and it burned when I put it on) while my new bottle (Life Brand from Shoppers Drug Mart) only has three ingredients. If the calamine is too runny, try leaving it upside down while you're storing it. Also, after having it for a little while, there will be a thicker part around the inside of the bottle. You can stick your finger in to the top and kind of scrape out the thicker stuff. It works really well!

We used to use this whenever we got bad sunburn as children. My mom mixed corn starch and rose water whenever we ran out of calamine. I am 30 now and fighting severe acne. Again , my mom tells me to use calamine ..but didn't until I got this monstrous zit that was red , painful and so ugly that I had to cover it with ban-aid when I leave the house . My friend said she has gotten a similar one and the dermatologist in injected cortisone in it and drained it. I thought I'd give calamine a try before going to see a doctor . Second day , zit was dried up and quarter it's size! Eventullay it drained . But I used it on other acne and helped too! ....PS: if its too messy, shake bottle first and use q-tips.

-humco calamine lotion: only like 2 dollars at walmart!!!! worked better and quicker w/o the side-effects of all those other brands and believe me i tried them all...wish i heard of this sooner. do not use with anything else...if a derm tells you to use it with something else then DONT..they just want you to break out so you give up and use their expensive remedies!!! i just wash with st. ives or a cleansing cloth (recommend ponds, olay, or equate) then apply calamine lotion...i had a nasty cystic breakout from the mouth down that started a month ago...i though it would keep going like before when it covered my entire jawline and neck!!, and these are like boil size...horrible!!! the last time that happened i treated to late and it lasted months and took 6 months to heal.....tear! so i found out abt calamine, started apply everynight and whenever i stayed home. left on, washed off with cleanser if leaving and voila,,,breakout stopped, and huge cysts took a week or less rather than a month or more to shrink and heal!! yay!!! also vitamin C (1000mg) and zinc (50-100) and vit A (20000iu) helped a whole lot in the process...C kills infection, Zinc, helps immunity and inhibits DHT production, and A reduces oil which reduces oil buildup from dht causing overactive sebum production that results in the clogged pores and resulting infection=pimple!!! lots of water too...but i have done treatment with the vitamins before but my cysts never healed this quick so the calamine made a huge difference...gonna try caladryl brand since its not so runny and doesn't dry with a thick mask-like film. and has camphor...will letcha all know results...

I used this in 2008 before christmas to treat an allergic reaction rash on my face, also around that time i started using tea tree oil, after my rash had gone and also my acne i continued using tea tree oil and stopped using the calamine, thinking it was the tea tree that helped the acne. I WAS WRONG, and i didnt even realise it until i suffered the worst break out of my life that has lasted for the past 6 months and ive tried everything to get rid of it, its effected me badly, i became depressed and started to feel like i couldnt leave the house, as a last resort i traced my mind back to last year when my skin cleared, what did i use, it was the calamine lotion, i feel stupid for not realising sooner, it works and works fast, now my acne feels a bit better and is calming down again
