Sudocrem...Does it Work?

For a while now I've been trying to find a cheap spot treatment (being a student leads to cutting down in expenditure). Time and time again I've come across Sudocrem being suggested for the treatment of acne. However, after researching a little, I've seen very mixed attitudes towards the stuff, meaning I'm quite reluctant to try it. Has anybody tried using Sudocrem on spots or blemishes? Did you use it as part of your daily routine or just at certain times? What's the verdict? Please comment below, I'd really appreciate any advice!
