Calamine Lotion

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 started getting acne due to going off the pill.I didn't have acne prior taking the pill so I was really at odds in how to make it go away.I tried the aspirin mask but i didn't see much results.I debated on going back on the pill, but decided to try this as an alternative.I started seeing results a week later.This is a God sent.

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!

I left the cap off the bottle by accident but turns out it turns into more of a thick consistency which makes it less messy to apply

Great for treating rashes and irritation all over the body but not for acne

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.
