Calamine Lotion

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.

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

I used calamine lotion last night on my acne. Now I only have acne around and between my eyebrows so i put it there because i had a bright red mark from a pimple that USED to be there and i woke up and that was GONE. all my acne was GONE. and i have sensitive skin so this should work for anyone! Try this because I am not wasting any of my time buying different products. Calamine lotion is the way to go!

WOW! So, for the past three years my skin has been acne covered and acne red mark covered! I normally wear a mud mask at night to help it, but I ran out last week! Randomly I decided to use calamine lotion on my face as my night mask. I woke up the next morning amazed! REDNESS 40% GONE! Pimples 60% GONE! I did it again the next night, REDNESS 70% GONE, Pimples 90% GONE! The night after that, REDNESS 90% GONE! Pimples 100% GONE! Then last night I had to exfoliate my skin cuz it was getting really dry. So it set me back a little. It made my face get to about 40% Redness, Pimples still gone. Now tonight I have a mask on, and about to go to sleep. Hopefully a big improvement tonight! :D I'll write again tomorrow to update!

When you start the regimen USE THIS. My face when I started the regimen was SUPER red and itchy. I started using this and my skin calmed down a lot. I think it helped with acne a bit too

Brings the acne to a head; can help with painful zits

I started using this about 1 week ago and it's working extremely well. I bought the generic kind a while back and used it but it didn't do too much. I still have that kind but what I did was add about 10-15 drops of tea tree oil to the bottle(shake real good every time) and all my pimples are disappearing. I don't recommend the clear version because it has chemicals that are proved and known to cause cancer and defects, buy the bottle w/ the least ingredients(Humco brand). I put it on every night on my whole face. Before the calamine lotion I mist on pure organic green tea from a spray bottle(very concentrated, not too much water) when that dries, I tone w/ a mixture of [green tea/Bragg's cider vinegar/witch hazel]. Then the Calamine lotion. I don't use moisturizer at night, maybe once a week I put on emu oil during the evening if my skin is dry, but that barely happens because the calamine lotion doesn't dry out my skin too much. I've also been taking some vitamins that have done wonders too, It's mainly Zinc but it has other things too. Search on A m a z o n "Zinc for acne" and buy the pills from total nutrition, they have the bottle w/ 100 pills which comes out cheaper then the other brand. The pills contain 50mg of zinc, 1000 I.U of Vit. A, 150 I.U of Vit. C, 50 I.U of Vit. E, and 20mg of Vit. B-6. I take 2 pills at night; it says to take on after every meal, DON'T do that because you can overdose on Zinc easily, never more than 100mg daily. I have no idea why it says that, maybe I misunderstood it, but as I see the label right now it reads "As a dietary supplement, take two(2) tablets with each meal". I've taken them for about 10 days and all the inflamed pimples have gone away. I however tried to take only the pills and not do the regimen to see if I'd still be good and I wasn't so they work together; treat topically + internally = great skin :) If relevant, I wash my face with Raw African black soap from Ghana.
