Originally just a cream for nappy rash and minor cuts, over the years Sudocrem has experienced a huge surge in popularity ever since teenage girls realised it was an absolute godsend for nightmarish pubescent spots. But aside from being a quick fix for spots, there are actually a ton of other really useful things you can use Sudocrem for, here are 15 uses you may not know about!

1. Reduce Acne Scarring

Everyone knows just how great Sudocrem is for spots and the cream can be a huge saviour when it comes to mild acne. The cream helps to dry up oily skin as well as lightening the skin under your eyes. If you gently massage the cream into your skin it can also help with acne scars. So forget about expensive pots and potions and give this a try instead!

2. Helps With Cuts and Grazes

If you’re a little on the clumsy side and end up with cuts and bruises quite often, then Sudocrem is a lifesaver! It’ll stop the burning feeling in your skin when you have a graze and it’ll moisturise your skin around the cut, whilst stopping any infection entering through the open cut.

3. Soothe Sunburn

As soon as the sun comes out most of us end up underestimating what factor sun cream we need and unfortunately end up burnt. Whilst you may be quick to reach for the aftersun, Sudocrem is a lot thicker than normal moisturiser which means it won’t soak into your skin straight away and will leave it feeling soothed and hydrated.
