nic from perth, western australia
May 20, 2009
Pros cheap- even in australia, $5 for 112 pills, and that was from chemmart!
Cons not AS great as everyone here has said it to be so far
Bottom line just did it 2 mins ago only on my chin. i broke out a few weeks ago and have really large ones on chin only (rest of face clear) that go really deep but also some small normal ones. the smaller ones- reduced in size dramatically (matter of minutes!) but redness still there. large ones- still there, not sure if they have become smaller, but i will update if it does tomorrow morning. overall, redness still there, but size reduced by HEAPS seriously. this works if you guys have those surface acne or lots of blackheads.
what I did:
washed face with clinique mild liquid facial soap
applied mask (3 100 mg aspirins and a little bit of honey and water) waited 15 minutes then exfoliated mask
rinsed with warm water andf inished with cool water, towel dry
astringent (mild- aloe and vitamin e), then used clearisil spot clearing cream and finished off with gariner pure a anti imperfections daily moisturiser
hope this helps- i say try it, i just checked again and it looks SMALLER

Pros Affordable, easy, and worked VERY well (I made mine with honey)! I a saw noticeable in my skin texture after just one use! Plus, the honey makes it smell really nice, too!
Cons None!
Bottom line I mixed 4 aspirin, 1/4 teaspoon water, and a couple squirts of honey all together and spread the mixture over my face. I let it sit for 15 minutes and then washed it off, letting the aspirin exfoliate my skin.

After just one use, I saw such great results. My skin was so much smoother and softer, and my pores seemed tighter and less noticeable. It seems to have made my existing pimples smaller, too! I was so thrilled with the results! My skin really does look fresh and beautiful now.

If you haven't tried this, do it! You have nothing to lose!!!

Pros Works fast
Cons made me sneeze alot when it dried out and started falling off
Bottom line This is a very quick way to get rid of acne. The main ingredient that fights acne is ofcourse sylicilic acid, when you mix water into it, it undergoes hydrolosis and sylicilic acid is formed. I usually leave it on for thirty minutes and just wash it off. It reduces the redness and size dramatically.

EC from New York, NY

Pros Cheap (works out to about $0.10 per mask for 50 masks!), easy to use, only two ingredients (aspirin and honey)
Bottom line I don't get severe breakouts but it seems like I ALWAYS have a pimple or two on my 36 year-old face. First I wash my face with Eucerin Hydrating Cleanser, then I use two uncoated aspirin (I get it for $0.99/100 tablets at Walgreens) and a couple of drops of water to disintegrate them, then add about a teaspoon of honey. I mix it all up, slap it on my face, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and wet my hands before gently rubbing the mask around to exfoliate. I use a gentle oil-free moisturizer afterward. I do this every other night for my oily and flaky skin. I find that whenever I stop using this mask, my skin goes back to feeling rough, sort of bumpy and dull.
It does take a little extra effort to put the mask together but it's worth the time. However, I'm going to see if a bigger batch of it can be made at once instead of having to make a new mask every time I need it.
Overall, I really recommend this mask. It's a skin-saver for me!

Pros Very easy to apply, with aloe vera gel. I also add a tiny bit of 8% glycolic acid too. It smoothes out your skin and reduces the redness right down. I love it
Cons NONE!
Bottom line Use this if you really need to get them spots down fast. It works honestly. and when it dries if you use the aloe vera gel too, rub the mask off when its dry for added exfoliation and skin smoothing. And then wash once finished.

I also have 60% hyaluronic acid serum to smooth over and moisturise afterwards.

I'm 23 and have no real spots or problems. but if I eat rubbish it shows in my skin. So this is a life saver. But I do use 40% glycolic acid every 5 days. That keeps spots completely at bay. All in all, I would recommend any of these items. I want to stay as young and fresh for as long as I can. So I do this routine all the time.

Pros soft, smooth skin, reduces redness. Even balances out color tones on my face.
Cons makes you far more susceptible to sun exposure. I heard it makes you 50% more susceptible. Be sure to use a good moisturizer and at least 30 spf protectant
Bottom line absolutely great. I wish I had known about this as a pimple-faced teen. It would have made my teenage years so much easier!
I use BC powder because the caffeine is what helps with the redness and new studies show that caffeine used topically or ingested may prevent skin cancer.
I take one packet add a couple drops of water to make a paste, then a few drops of honey to make it adhere to my skin. I leave it on 10-15 mins max. Then wash with cold water and pat dry with soft towel. I use it only once a week as I am afraid of the effects of the sun because I am in the sun a lot.
