Pros Reduces redness
Shrinks pimples
Inexpensive
Cons A bit crumbly
Bottom line I mix crushed aspirin and neosporin pain relief cream onto a band aid and place it over any stubborn pimples before bed. It only takes about 1/4 of a tablet to cover a pimple. The next morning the neosporin has helped heal the skin while the aspirin takes care of inflammation. It's a miracle for pimples that decide to pop up right before a big event because this zaps them in 2-4 nights (depending on severity.)

I love aspirin + neosporin!

Pros i had really bad acne and now that its better i hav like 1 or 2 pimples on my face from times to time and quite alot of red and dark marks from poppin my pimples in shower because i hav sensitive skin~ using this mask i my scar started to disappear except some of the red ones but you cant see them unless u hav raelly good eyes~ like me and my friends can barly see them cause we have 300/300 eyes and we dont wear glasses~ but yea~ it helps acne and scars and renewing ur skin~
Cons Incase yall dint noe this~ aspring breaks up ur scar tissue and like.....unstick ur tissue meaning its like exfoliating~ meanin your it helps reduce scar and redness but in the meantime ur skin will be more sensitive to sunlight by 50% so PUT SUNSCREEN ON WHEN YOU GO OUT AFTER USING THIS PRODUCT for a week or so is good =] if you dont that means you'd have 50% more chance of gettin cancer and other stuff than normally~ but its till a low chance but hey....who wanna risk?
Bottom line Its good if u had acne or has acne because these product wont cloak pores or cause acne and it helps scar~

heres how i make mine:
use a couple tablet of aspirng or u can use powder ~ i perfer powder~ and drop a couple drops of water on it and pad it with ur fingers to dissolve it and some honey and a bit of apple vinegar( i dont use this sometime cuz of the smell) ~ apple vinegar is not too harsh on ur face and defintely wont cause pimples and acne infact it dissolve the oil and the stuff underneath ur acne~ and also breaksdown scar tissue~ rub it on ur face and gently exfoliate ur skin then leave it on for 10 minute =] and wash n rinse it off with ur regular facial cleanser~ AND PUT SUNSCREEN ONNNN when u go out because ur skin is 50% mroe sensitive to the sun cuz of this product~ Ohh and exposure to the sun also makes scars and redmarks worst by a tiny lil bit~ =] use baby sunscreen btw or one tat wont cloak pore ~ cuz we oun wan no acne from sunscreen~~

Pros Makes skin soft, gets rid of acne almost over night, Exfoliates, easy to make, cheap!
Cons Some say it dries out skin, but I don't notice any dryness.
Bottom line It is perfect if you have a lot of whiteheads and redness. I get a small glad container and put half a bottle about 20 aspirin and dialogs them slowly in water, then add about a teaspoon of honey, and some soothing acne wash (Neutrogena redness soothing works great. About a teaspoon of that.) mix and use out of the jar for about ten times, saves me a lot of prep time and the consistency is better after it sits for a day or two. Dollar general brand aspirin is cheap and don't get the coated kind!

Pros This face mask reduces pimples, redness, black heads, white heads, and irritation.
Cons Dries out skin slightly.
Bottom line This is an excellent face mask. I used it all over my body and it worked. The only thing I would recommend is that you use your regular face wash immediately after.

Pros shrinks pimples
matte-ifies face
Cons messy
hard to make/recreate
disappointed...
Bottom line I made this with lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and water (plus aspirin, duhh) and it just didn't do the trick.. it didn't leave me squeaky clean or anything,and the EVOO made my face soooooooo oily and nasty, but it didn't cause any new acne. So I tried it later, and spilled all over myself because I made it too watery- so I'd say use ONLY water (better dry than oily, trust me) and make it the right consistency. I'm trying it in a little bit, hope it goes better! again guys, don't use any olive oil it doesn't wash off and its just bad.... yeah. :D

Pros skin feels smoother than I have ever felt before! my skin is usually oily, and it feels like the layer of oil has drastically reduced, skin feels lighter! I only get a little oiliness around nose in morning now.
Bottom line i used dispirin (brand of aspirin). i bought name brand aspirin prior but the texture was way too chalky and not smooth enough texture for my liking. worth spending little bit extra on dispirin! i use 3 or 4 tablets, half a teaspoon of water and it just all dissolves very quickly. I then add one squirt of honey and mix. I apply on face, leave 20-30 mins. Then i pat on some water and lightly exfoliate the mask off. Follow with moisturise. Skin feels squeaky clean and super soft. Use 1 or 2 times max a week. Still get the odd spot here and there, but not as bad. Might update on progress in a few months! I'm very happy with the results for me :-)

Pros I read that the active ingredient in aspirin is salicylic acid (beta hydroxyl acid) which only dissolves in oil- unlike the alpha hydroxy acid in prescribed acne stuff. So to use it as a facial peel I mixed the crushed aspirin with a little water and then mixed it with olive oil. The oil is very soothing and mayb eit is as good as a moisturiser. I'm hoping it will peel the scaly stuff that is emerging after the benzoyl peroxide cream I've been using.
Cons I haven't really used it long enough to find out if it reduces the angry red bumps on my chin. After trying the cleansing/benzoyl peroxide/moisurising regimen for a week I'm not sure if anything is really working. If I don't see results in another week I'm off to a dermatologist.
Maybe I don't have acne - maybe it's perioral dermatitis, menopausal acne, rosacea etc etc
Bottom line Worth a go!

Pros helped my acne so much
gets rid of red spots and blemishes
gets rid of pimples and blackheads
prevents new acne from forming
exfoliates my skin and it's not rough like other exfoliating products
makes skin smooth and soft
so cheap!
Cons dries out my skin a bit the first day i actually do the mask but everything goes back to normal a day or two after. plus, moisturizer can help the dryness.
Bottom line THIS STUFF SAVED MY LIFE! i had such low self esteem because of my bad acne and red marks. i was so self-conscious but this stuff saved me. my skin is now touchable and less red. it helped me so much. it might not work for everybody but it is definitely worth a try! i still get acne because my skin is acne prone but this definitely helps soooo much! i use it once a week and use about 3/4 aspirins with water each time.
