"After I used it for three days, all of my acne dried up and went away," she said. "Many people believe in it," she added.

Khen Vanny, 29, from Phnom Penh, said women of all ages have taken to using the lubricant to get rid of spots.

"It is very effective. Some people don't believe in it but people who do really get a good result," she said, adding: "My youngest sister and my aunt use it too."

Another woman told Khmer-language Kampuchea Thmey newspaper that she had used many kinds of medicine to treat acne but none had worked.

"After that my friends, who work at garment factories in Phnom Penh, advised me to apply the lubricant from Number One Plus condoms on my face every night," she told the paper.

"And just within three to four nights, the acne on my face gradually and then totally disappeared," she added.

A vendor near a factory in the coastal city of Sihanoukville told the newspaper that she sold packets of Number One Plus lubricant for 500 riels (12 cents) to many women every day.

The paper urged experts to conduct research about the phenomenon.

PSI were not immediately available for comment on the apparent cosmetic benefits of their product.

Sex gel 'acne cure'

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has dismissed claims that a sexual lubricant gel is an effective treatment for acne. This follows reports last week that the Number One Plus lubricant brand used in condoms was popular with Cambodian women, who claimed it helped clear up spots.

No official word from the FDA on the facial enhancement properties provided by another sex-related liquid....

Had it not been for these questionable claims, I'd have never known about this brand. Nice product promotion and placement.

Although, probably too small for me, and I don't have acne.......

Not that I'd have use for them. No sex life
