Question:
Sudocrem Virgin
Ive just purchased my first pot of sudocrem to use on spots. How often do I apply it. Is it normal for it to stay white and not really absorb? Is it really harsh? Any other uses for it?
:thanks:
Mine never really seems to absorb totally into my skin however much I rub it in which is why I only put it on at night & then wash it off in the morning. I only use it on really bad spots as it dries them out & if I use it too often or too much of it my skin gets really flaky so use it sparingly. I wouldn't advise using it during the day unless you're staying in cos it makes your skin look a bit grey looking especially if you apply makeup over the top of it. And don't forget to wash it off in the morning if you use it at night! :)
I wouldn't say it's really harsh, after all, it's used on babies for nappy rash so I wouldn't have thought it could be too strong. On the tub it says it can be used for nappy rash, eczema, bed sores, sunburn, minor burns, surface wounds, acne & chilblains but I don't know of any other uses.

Thanks Lisa!
Yes it's normal to have big white blobs on your face! I put loads on, the more the better! I sometimes put a plaster over it if it's in an area that's likely to get rubbed off by my pillow!
Lisa I don't think it makes my skin dry at all! I use it on my chin and nose and any blemishes every night, if anything I find it moisturises!
Well my skin is a bit overly sensitive so that might be why it dries it out! :) I did think it was a bit weird as I thought it was supposed to be very gentle cos it's used on babies but my skin reacts to even the mildest of products so that's probably the reason. :rolleyes: If your skin's quite tough then I guess it'd be alright but with mine I have to be extremely careful with the products I use.
