I've often read about celebrities like Cheryl Cole (apologies Fernandez-Versini) using Sudocrem to keep spots at bay, but I'll be honest, smearing my face in a cream most often used on babies bums never really appealed to me. However, a few weeks ago, when I was sent a tube of Sudocrem Skin Care Cream*, which is a slightly different formulation, and there was no mention of babies bums, I thought I'd give it ago.
The day before I received the sample, coincidentally, a spot had appeared on my on chin, one of those really painful ones that never comes to a head, making this the perfect opportunity to try it out. Before bed I applied the cream directly onto the spot, not expecting anything amazing; however, after about half an hour it definitely felt less sore and the next morning I was pleasantly surprised to see that the spot had reduced drastically in size and wasn't as red. Therefore, for the next 3-4 nights I applied the cream and eventually the spot was gone. (Stupidly forgot to take pictures *slaps wrist*)
The only real downside I found with this product was the area where the spot had been became quite dry but I'd much rather have a small dry patch of skin than a large spot on my face! For that reason, I'll probably only use this product on painful spots rather than my entire face.
You can pick a 30g tube of this up at Boots for the bargain price of £1.99 so if you're prone to spots I'd definitely recommend you get a tube.
Have you tried the Sudocrem Skin Care Cream?

I love sudocrem for spots. This tube looks perfect for travelling, instead of lugging a tub around!
