Sudocrem.
It is an antiseptic healing cream.
I checked out the website and found out that it was marketed as nappy rash cream.
But it can also be used for other conditions like eczema, sunburn, minor burns and pimples!
It is the treatment of pimples that I am interested in.
Checked out the ingredients - zinc oxide, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, benzyl cinnamate and hypoallergenic lanolin.
• hypoallergenic lanolin, to help provide emollient properties.
• zinc oxide is an astringent which reduces the loss of tissue fluid.
• benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate are amongst the ingredients of Peru Balsam, recognised for its healing properties
•benzyl alcohol is a weak local anaesthetic which acts to ease localised pain and irritation. It also acts as a disinfectant/antibacterial agent and is responsible for protection against common bacterial contaminants.
Anyway, it is sold in Unity NTUC Healthcare at $12.
So I bought one to try.
I applied it to the pimple on my chin, which I scratched and burst with my itchy finger.
The next day, it dried up miraculously.
Usually, my pimples always become very inflamed after i scratched them.
This means that it does work.
Then I tried it on my sisters' pimples.
Theirs dried up the next day too.
Wow!
You should try it too. =)
P.S. Here's the link to the sudocrem website.
