Pros:skin is amazinggg afterward. it feels soft and FIRM.
really helps with small whiteheads
can be used as a cleanser too :)
Cons:feels a little abrasive if rubbed in too hard
may not work the same way on all parts of the face
can be drying, but you can fix that if you put in a little honey
Bottom Line:sooo. i've been using this along with zinc and milk thistle supplements and my skin has been looking hott. with two "t"s. ;)

i dissolve four uncoated aspirin (coated works too, though the coating is annoying to smash up. get the uncoated kind at walmart for under a dollar. i use the smart health brand) in water to form a thick paste and add some honey. i don't think i would add the honey in the summer, but since it's winter, my normally oily skin is drying out like a beast. hehe.

this should only be used as a mask when left on for an hour or two. i put it on after dinner and use it as a cleanser before bed. i tried it overnight, but it doesn't prevent new blemishes. i use acnefree toner and BP overnight.

this has really helped my face. i had moderate acne before, but now i think i can say that it's mild. it hasn't helped my chest, though, which is sad, but i'm over it. hopefully not many people are staring at my chest anyway ;) hehe.

so...bottom line?
go

Pros:I’ve been browsing the net for a treatment for acne. I’m 25 and still get it quite badly. Anyway I cam across this site and this idea. Because it is so cheap and I had some Aspirin in my cupboard I decided to give it a go. Used 4 tablets with a w
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I’m def gonna use it again. People seem to worry about the ‘risks’ but if you get a headache you take 3 Aspirins? As long as you don’t use 20 odd on your face I don’t see how you are at risk. If your not sure about it…don’t do it! Simple. I mean people have acid peels and don’t worry about absorbing that!!! If anyone has acne give it a go!!!!!!!!!!! Its not gonna cost a lot to find out!!!! Thank to whoever posted this!!!!!

Pros:Cheap as chips, easy to find, skin feels smooth
Cons:texture not great - may need to combine with something else (honey, aloe vera, etc)
Bottom Line:Have just used this once, so can't comment yet except to say that my skin is smoother and I may try with some 100% aloe vera gel as the "paste" is more like wet sand, so doesn't stay on well.

But, I came across the following article:
http://www.buffalo.edu/news/fast-execute.cgi/article-page.html?article=52140009

There may be something to this...

The beta hydroxy, salicylic acid and anti inflammatory in aspirin make it seem logical

Pros:Tightens pores, smoothes skin, unclogs pores, inexpensive.
Cons:None.
Bottom Line:I've been using the aspirin mask for four days now and I've really noticed a difference. I didn't have acne as such, but I had a few blackheads and small spots on the area around my nose. These have now gone. I have also noticed a visible reduction in the size of my pores and my skin is significantly less oily. Unlike other acne medications I've tried, the aspirin mask has not over-dried or irritated my skin.

To make the mask I use water soluble aspirin but grind the tablets up first to get an extra smooth consistency. Then I dissolve the ground up aspirin in a minimal amount of water before adding honey to the mixture. This helps the mask adhere to the skin and prevents it drying out, as it otherwise dries rapidly and becomes flaky. Honey has additional benefits to the skin owing to its glycolic acid content.

I would definitely recommend this mask to anybody with problem skin. I hope it helps.

Pros:Cheap, quick and effective. It actually works.
Cons:Realizing how cheap and easy it would have been to get rid of acne years ago had I known about this.
Bottom Line:Amazing. I have been using 2 crushed aspirin (bought 200 at for a buck at the dollar store) mixed with Benzoyl Peroxide (Oxy) for about a week and have had no new breakouts and almost everything has cleared up.

I didn't have the worst acne in the world but it was always there constantly until now. The deep nodules and regular zits have both stopped. Redness has also been greatly reduced.

The Oxy ceased to be of much help a long time ago but it works great mixed with the aspirin just because it seems to hold the powder to the skin very well and doesn't flake off or make a mess.

I've tried just about everything with Salicylic Acid, Nixoderm, Egg masks, you name it. This is the one that is finally really working for me.

Pros:Makes skin soft, tightens pores, dries out oil, helps zits dry up and fades redness, CHEAP!
Cons:Dries out skin if used often, makes me sneeze so I can't leave it on long, has to be used quite often to keep skin clear.
Bottom Line:Nice addition to routine, I was using it about 4-5 nights a week and it made my skin dry and flakey even with tons of moisturizer. I was then using it as an over night spot treatment and it worked the first couple of nights but then did nothing after awhile. I now use it as a face mask about 1-2 times a week and that is all that is needed. No miracle cure, but helps to keep my skin clearer than normal. If you feel a big zit coming on you can leave it on overnight to help dry it out.

Pros:Works wonders
Cons:none yet
Bottom Line:This rocked! I've been alternating from the egg mask and the aspirin mask and my skin has been beautiful! I'm shocked and amazed. Everyday I use the egg in the morning. After I wipe the egg off of my face I do a literal sugar scrub. I take normal granulated sugar and use it as an exfoliater. Then after I use a little bit of lemon juice as a "toner". I've been wanting to try honey,egg and sugar for a facial scrub...any ideas? Then at night I do the aspirin mask and mush 5-10 tables and mix with water. Then I add a little bit of lemon juice and sugar and as I apply I use a little bit of pressure. My face feels amazing!

Bottom Line:The single greatest acne fighter I have ever used. I've been using the masks for probably nearly a year now. For a while I was using them while using other products that were way to harsh, but after switching to a much more gentle wash and using this nightly the results have been amazing. I reccomend this to all my friends who mention acne related complaints!
