After surfing the official Jurlique website, I learned that there is an actual Jurlique Wellness Day Spa at a mall that's only 10 minutes drive away from me. Yeepee  Knowing me, I called first to make sure that it does exist... then I grabbed my purse and rushed out like a mad lady and was on my way to the store in no time!! 
Fortunately, the Facialist was available at the time and she thoroughly went through the entire Jurlique Skincare line with me. She offered me a personal consultation of my skin and presribed the products for normal/sensitive skin and gave me trial samples.
These are the samples I received: Cleansing Lotion, Foaming Facial Cleanser, Day Care Face Lotion, Herbal Recovery Gel, Calendula Cream, Deep Penetrating Cream Mask, Neck Serum, and Lavender Hand Cream.  I can't wait to try them all!!
The Calendula cream was suggested to me to put onto and soothe those angry flaring-red newly-picked pimple scabs that are on my forehead and around the jawline. After day and night uses for 3 days, to my surprise, the healing time was cut in half for me. Those angry looking scabs are now flat and calm. They were bright bloody red before, now they are just a little darker nude color compare to the skin around. I was impressed!!
However, I also tried it on the pimples that are still yet to mature. It didn't do as miracle of a job.  It only helped diminished some of the redness; it didn't "kill" the pimples nor did it "dry" them out. I was disappointed.  I guess its potency only extends to its calming and healing effects. I would probably need the Blemish Cream to attack the pimples.
Overall, the Calendula Cream is very light and non-oily. It smells herbal and it's easy to apply - just slowly massage the cream into the area where it's needed until it's totally absorbed. The following is the product info:
Calendula Cream: A multi-purpose soothing, moisturising cream for delicate, disturbed & acne prone skin. Ideal for teenage & mature skin.
Unique Benefits: A light, non-oily cream to moisturise and soothe sensitive and irritated skin.
Ingredients: Water; Herbal Extract Misture from: Calendula, Self Heal, Witch Hazel, Echinacea, Spilanthes, Quince; Cetearyl Alcohol & Ceteareth 20; Honey; Cocoglycerides; Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride; Avacado Oil; Safflower Oil; Shea Butter; Glycerine; Carrot Oil Extract; Evening Primrose Oil; Aloe Extract; Hydroxymethylglycinate; Lactic Acid; Grapefruit Seed Extract; Panthenol; Vitamin E (Tocopherol).
Directions For Use: Apply to skin whenever required and as an "after sun" moisturiser.
Hope these info help |

Hi,
I love jurlique products. I have a sample of the caledula cream that I have yet to try. But I knwo about calendula and it is very healing & soothing but I doubt it would clear the pimples yet to surface. I just tried the foaming cleanser last night and while I don't use these on a regular basis cause they are drying for me, I can tell that this would really clean & prevent breakouts.
The whole line is fabulous and the Herbel Recovery Gel is reknowded in Hollywood as a facelift in a bottle |

| I had a full size of this some years back (maybe five or six) and this was a soothing cream. Pretty similar to the Mario Badescu Healing Balm. From memory it was yellow and quite rich but not oily. I'm not sure about the acne but this would be a good cream for rashes and other skin reactions. |
