Calamine Lotion

Since getting pregnant with my first child my skin has never been the same! For 3 years now my face has not been 100% clear! I'm someone that will not even walk out the house if i have a bad outbreak so acne was controlling my life! I've tried every product on the Walmart shelves, went to a dermatologist, and nothing helped...i have been using calamine for only two days and WOW it has really helped!! I really break out in the middle of my cheeks and one whole side of my face is completely clear and the old stubborn scarring is just about gone! The right side of my face is still a little bumpy looking due to the fact i have four little pimples on my cheek but i'm sure after one more day my whole face will be 100% clear! I'm pregnant with my 2nd child so i'm looking forward to going out with clear skin this pregnancy thanks to calamine lotion!! I've read that some woman think its no safe to use during pregnancy my OBGYN said its 100% safe. I'm happy i found something that worked!

Works really well. I have stopped using any b.p. and my face is much clearer and the scars are fading. I would wear it all day if possible. Still get acne, but goes away faster and doesnt scar.

i have very greasy skin, and evey night i smear my face with the stuff. keeps my face nice and dry till morning. any odd pimple will dry out overnight. love the stuff recomend

I was having breakout after breakout, i discovered calamine lotino on here, i started wearing it to sleep and 3 days later my achne was gone, to prevent it from reaccuring i still wear the calamine lotion mask at night, and wash my face 2 times a day with head and shoulders classic clean, i used the generic brand for both and spent like 2 dollars total. I used to pay 6 dollars a tube for biore, and 4 dollars a tube for clearsil, didnt work, caused a lot of scarring, calamine lotion is helpin with the scarring a lot!

I've been on Accutane twice, so obviously I tend to have problematic skin. After using Accutane, acne will be non existent for a year or so but will then come back. Mine came back about 2 years after this time, and it spread from my chin to the apples of my cheek. Not cute. Anyway, within a few hours, everything dried up and all the redness disappeared. I was literally about to pick up the phone and make a dermatologist appt. the same day I tried this..I would have spend hundreds. TRY IT! It's so cheap anyway.

cleared my face.. wear it all the time..

I use a clear version of calamine lotion. It has the shiny look of one of those peel off facial masks when it dries. However, you can't use it under makeup because it does tend to peel off as you apply the make up. If you don't use makeup, you could probably get away with wearing a light layer of it. This is the best thing I've found so far to help with the incredible pain of cystic acne. I think the topical zinc is what helps with the healing. BP only makes my acne worse -- this helps but does not seem to cure it. Of course, I have severe acne and am getting ready to take another course of Accutane for it (10 years after my first course) -- but I am amazed at how much it helps to reduce swelling and pain associated with the cysts. Once I start the Accutane, I'm not going to use it, but it has been a godsend for me until I am able to start the Accutane again.

So i had a breakout out of nowhere and had no clue what to do. So I started using calamine lotion and nothing happened. I had been applying it all over my face in big amounts. So i stopped using it. Then I decided to use it applying it with a cotton ball only to areas that needed it and the results have been fantastic! In just a day the change was huge. I have also been using it with hydrogen peroxide which I also apply with a cotton ball. I think when it comes to calamine less is more. At least for me (:

I've been struggling with acne for 4 years now, I'm 20 now, and I've tried A LOT of products out there. I read about calamine lotion and tried it and wow. I'm not sure if you want to be using it everyday because your acne might get use to it, but when you do use it at night. Make sure it hasn't expired.

this is a great product i would recommend it to anyone!
