Pros:

-Easy to put on if you shake the bottle and apply it on a kleenex.
-Does not irritate your face.
-Has no smell.

Cons:

-May feel a little weird right after you put it on, when it is drying but that goes away in about 2 minutes.

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.

Pros:

it reduces the size and redness of pimples and makes some go away depending on the size. It brings most pimples to a head over night so be prepared to get rid of them

Cons:

hard to apply due to it being like water.

this is the only product i know that you can see results from in such a short amount of time. TRY IT.

Pros:

I wish I knew about this stuff sooner because it's fabulous! Makes skin feel really smooth, tightens pores & makes pimples go away faster than BP alone!

Cons:

None

I don't know how I came across people using this for acne but I started researching and figured I'd try it. There are absolutely no negative side effects to it. I use caladryl and it's clear. I use it in the morning, put it on w/ a cotton ball and then put my moisturizer & make up on. No peeling or anything, if it's peeling off you're using to much. I use it at night sometimes too. I had a huge pimple last week, I put caladryl on it a couple times a day along w/ BP and it came to a head and was gone in less than 48 hours! I use it on my chest too, which isn't that broken out but i don't want to use any type of BP on my chest since it bleaches clothes. <3 this stuff!

Pros:

Get the Caladryl Clear version. I tried both, clear works far better, and the pink is good to start with .
Erases redness in skin.
It has completely turned my skin around. and is even keeping me clearer than dan's bp (sorry dan) I dont know how it works but it does.

Cons:

Fairly drying, not a bad kind of drying though. just apply the right amount and you're set.

I cannot recommend this enough. If you're sick of irritation from bp or just want better skin tone. less clogged pores, blackheads, all that... this is a God-send for me. I use twice daily after showering, just after moisturizing.

Pros:

Cheap, works fast, works well, doesn't contain other ingredients that will irritate skin or clog pores.

Cons:

Slightly drying.

I'm not sure what compelled me to try calamine lotion on my face for my acne, just a hunch I guess. But I did try it about a year ago and was so pleased with the results that I continued using as a face mask at night. It doesn't totally prevent acne, as I still get pimples here and there. But, it really helps get rid of them quickly. Also, the continued use of this product seems to have helped keep my skin clearer of blackheads! I can see how it might be a little drying for some, but I have oily skin so that is not a problem for me. For breakouts I have found that first applying a salicylic acid gel to the face, and then applying calamine lotion (you have to kinda mix it in on your face) works fabulously. Definitely worth a try!

Pros:

Safe for sensitive skin, effective at treating acne, dminishes pimples and redness and most importantly, its CHEAP! Doesn't dry out your skin like other topical treatments.

Cons:

You look a little weird before bedtime.

Everyone should at least try it. I felt like I had tried everything that could have worked so when someone suggested Calamine Lotion to me, I thought no way. After a couple of days my acne looks much better than any other product I've ever tried, and I've tried a lot! I'm definitely going to keep using it.
