What they liked

Calms breakouts and inflammation overnight
Absorbs to a dry finish by morning

What they flagged

Strong unpleasant smell

What the gurus are saying

The zinc oxide base reduces breakouts and calms skin visibly, a result reviewers found solid. However, essential oils can irritate sensitive skin, and the smell is strong enough that some swapped it out despite the solid results. If you try it, apply a generous layer over your evening routine and expect a greasy night but drier, calmer skin in the morning.

"If you live in Europe and you're trying face basting with Sudocrem, just be careful because it has essential oils. This one can be a little bit irritating, believe it or not, if you are sensitive."

"So if you have sensitive skin I might not use this on your face because of the lavender, but if you don't have sensitive skin but maybe a lightly inflamed barrier and you haven't become allergic yet to fragrance, I would use this on my face and it's honestly beautiful. If you want a spa-like experience just put this all over your face. I love the scent. It just takes me back to my childhood. It makes me very happy."

"I started face basting with Sudocrem, applying a generous layer of the zinc oxide cream over a basic evening routine to help heal the skin, reduce inflammation and calm breakouts. I went to bed a greasy mess but woke up surprisingly dry, with my tiny breakouts reduced and my skin calmer. The results were pretty good, however it stinks, so I swapped it out."
