Pros Cheap
Noticed a visible difference after the first use
Other skin bonuses as well as helping acne
Cons No real problems other than it being a little bit messy and you will end up eating lots of it!
Bottom line I've been using honey for roughly a week now and I have to say that my skin has improved fairly drastically during that time. I made sure only to buy organic honey on the recommendation of someone on this site. My skin has become a lot clearer, my confidence has improved and I feel a lot better in myself! Really would recommend giving this a go as, what have you got to lose, even if it doesn't work you've still got the honey you can eat and you won't feel like you wasted too much money.

Pros Cheap
Reduces Redness
Smooths Skin
Smells Good
Reduces Scaring
leaves skin glowing
Cons A little messy
Bottom line I'm 19 and have been suffering from acne since i was 14. I've tried almost everything and so far this is my favorite.

I used a pure honey, cinnamon and nutmeg mixture (smelled like Christmas :) ), and just after one time i could tell the difference
I left on the mask for a bout 15 minuets then put on a face moisturizer after wards, left my skin feeling amazing.
There is still redness and acne, but I've only been using it for about a week.
My skin is quite sensitive and I'd recommend trying this to anyone

Pros Reduced redness
Tightened pores
Removed excess oil
Removed some acne and plugs after one application
Left skin feeling very soft
Delicious :p
Cons Messy/sticky/drippy but no big deal
Left some areas slightly more red (probably due to sensitive skin)
Redness of scarring did return within 10 or so minutes, however this was one application
Bottom line My skin: I have had mild to moderately severe acne since I was around 13. I'm currently 24. At the moment my main problem is scarring, with a rash-like redness across my cheeks from nose to ear and some red single spotty scars towards my jawline. I currently also have a couple of what I call 'active spots'- raised but not popped or healed at all.

Application: I applied a generous layer of honey onto my face using 2 disposable cotton pads. I left it on for an hour. During this time certain small areas became a little itchy (so something was working!), which I remedied by gently massaging the area and moving the honey around. There were some drips (which I know to look out for next time). But overall the waiting time was pleasant (and delicious).

To remove: I took a face washcloth and heated with warm water, placing it over my entire face and let the honey warm for a few seconds (because the honey dries a little after being on your skin). The warmth at this point feels amazing by the way. I then gently wiped off the honey with the cloth, and rinsed my face thoroughly with running warm water.

The result: Immediately after towel-drying I noticed large areas of redness were removed almost entirely. My larger more prominent acne scars were still very noticeable, but possibly not as 'angry-looking'. I feel these may improve with daily applications of the honey mask. The overall texture of my skin was improved.

After ten minutes: I noticed most of the redness returned, however my skin was incredibly soft, it felt very clean and my pores were tightened.

After a couple of hours: The redness had settled again, with large portions of my face noticeably less red than before application. Only very mild redness remained, however my larger scars still remained red, but again, less angry and they seemed very clean.

I will continue this process as I do believe it will help in time. I gained better results than any store bought product.

Pros - Smooths Skin.
- Lightens Complextion & Acne Scars.
- Reduces Inflammation & Swelling.
- Not harmful (Make sure the honey has no hidden chemicals some additives may cause skin reactions)
- Simply amazing for sensitve skin.
-Brings Acne vulgaris (Cystic acne) too the head.
Cons - Can be messy (But hey no problem cleaning up)
- Expensive in some cases
- Spend more time eating it than actually using it Lol.
- Will not remove un-touched acne the skin must be opened for the honey too work.
Bottom line I'm 17 and have had Light acne since the age of 13 Doesn't matter how much acne you have it still strips you of confidence. Anyways I've been using 'manuka' honey (Which I've noticed is heavily expensive in the states which IS worth the while of spending the money on the honey rather than 'clean & clear's' sh*t and ect) now for 3 days and I wish I had found it earlier, from the few years of spending rediculous amouts of $$$ on products and waking up the next morning to find you have skin pelling of your face and white heads everywhere from the harsh factory chemicals. too this 'Natural' savior, The first day I used It I had a drink of Green tea with the honey added as a sweetener (Alot of great antioxidents for the skin) and then soked my face for 3 minutes topically wiped a nice slice of cucumber all over & then massaged with my fingers the Manuka honey over my face in a circular motion (Expectally in the affected areas) Left it for a few minutes (Or your desired time) then washed off good as gold. My face felt smooth and the redness I get around the lower areas of my eyes had completely vanished. Manuka honey has natural anti-bacterical bases and also contains many vitamins that will help combat the prevention of acne, removes scars and blemishes of the skin. I'll write another review on the 21st of the 9th too update how it's going. Good luck with your fight too keep clear. Have a good one (:

Pros makes your skin glow
reduces the size of pimples
lightens acne scars
leaves skin soft
Cons messy
Bottom line I use the honey as a mask and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. I have tried the mask with raw honey and normal honey, and I think raw honey is better.

Pros Fades scars. Brings pimples to head so they can heal faster(and they do). Natural, with no chemicals.
Bottom line I actually use this as a cleanser, but they don't have a section for that on here. I do try to leave it on for at least 5 min. though. This does wonders for my skin. It has faded my scars so fast and brings down the redness. If I get a pimple the honey brings it to a head by the next day and it goes away completely within 2 or 3 days. If you tried this and it didn't do much for your skin it's probably because your not using very good honey. When I first started using honey I was using a raw honey, but I got it at Kroger's for like $4, and it did nothing for my skin. It didn't prevent pimples but it wasn't breaking me out either. So I went to Whole Foods to get honey that might actually be worth my money. I got Really Raw Honey and it was $10 for 1lb. It has the pollen, propolis, live enzymes, and honeycomb in it so it really does great things for my skin and pollen is great for your skin.

Pros -Tasted good
-Smelled sweet
Cons -Left skin even redder
-Did nothing for my scars or active breakouts
Bottom line I did only use an at-home honey mask one time, so I may not be the best person to discuss it. However, the reason I used it only once was because my skin was left even redder than it already is from my acne scars. I do, though, have very sensitive skin, so that could be a contributing factor as to why it left my skin irritated. I have heard that it truly does work for many people, but it did not at all have the affect I was hoping for on me. If you have sensitive skin, I would not recommend this.

Pros softer and glow skin
lighten spots dan scars
reduce redness
moisture skin
reduce existing acne size
prevent acne
smells sweet
Cons sticky and drippy
Bottom line Before honey mask, i used egg whites + apple cider vinegar mask and baking soda spot treatment too.. egg whites works fine on me and makes my pore tightens but doesn't do anything much for my acne... baking soda makes my acne just even more reddish and stingy too..

then i try the honey mask + cinnamon powder, i mix it all together then just spread it evenly all over my face, wait for an hour, then rinse with cold water.. and the results were AMAZING !

definitely will do it everyday now, to get rid of my old scars and acnes.. totally recomended !!!
