Pros - made my skin glow from the first use
- makes skin veryyy soft
- inexspensive
- its a calm remedy that doesnt irratate, burn or make face red. (for most)
-all natural
-only takes 20 minutes of time, and use every day for better results.
Cons - freakinggg messy..(but thats just me)
- wouldnt recommend using it when your sleeping.
Bottom line im 14 with acne and scars but not to to bad but still at the point where im insecure about my skin and the honey mask works amazing if your looking for something to lighten scars and even out skin tone. and maybe help your acne. but over all i would DEFFINITELY recommend this to peoplle who suffer from light acne and scars to severe. its just a quick way to being closer to having healthier smoother looking skin. hope this helped! :)

-CHEAP!
Cons - a bit tickilish
Bottom line okay so ive tried this every day for a month i have alot of scares and uneven skin tone! wow! im stunned this is really amazing! im only 13 and i get bumps and pimples on my forehead AND chin and a couple of big ones on my cheeks which is really nasty . and i dont like to use make up on it because itll make it worse so i was really self concious about my skin until i tried this! it lightend my scars and made the pimples smaller and non red and evened out my skin tone.

its not really messy for me because i evened it out and put sort of a thin layer i left it on for 20 minutes

i just melted the honey for 20 seconds and added lemon juices and stired. i waited till it cooled down a bit so and slathered it on my face. it wasnt really drippy for me.

Pros --SOFTER SKIN
--BRIGHTER SKIN
--MORE EVEN COMPLEXION
--HEALTHY GLOW
--RED REDUCING
--CALMS YOUR FACE
Cons --MESSY IF YOU USE TOO MUCH
-STICKY IF NOT COMPLETELY WASHED OFF
Bottom line I absolutely love honey. I came across an article online about this remedy. I'm so glad to have found it. I feel so silly bringing honey into the restroom, but the results are so worth it.

Check it out, this is all I do: Put enough to coat my entire face, leave it on for 15 mins (I usually watch tv to pass the time), and then I rinse it off. That's all! I love how it's so easy to rinse off, too. You'd think it would be a mess but it's not at all. If you put too much on your face then it becomes runny and drips--just apply a thin layer and let it absorb.

I don't know about these other people who sleep with it on, that sounds way messy, and talk about sticky pillow cases. Just do this daily and you'll be happy with the results. I am.

Pros - Makes skin GLOW!
- helped prevent acne
- evens out skin tone
- helps bring acne to the surface
Cons - Messy (it drips and very sticky)

Pros - cheap
- moisturizing
- reduces redness, swelling, scars
- heals wounds
- natural
Cons - none
Bottom line I had the worst breakout of my life 2 weeks ago, so I did some spot treatment with PanOxyl. It took a week to rid of my pimples but my scars were still very visible. In desperation, I applied PanOxyl on my whole face - the next day I was red, dry, swollen.

I thought I'd use the natural hair waxing honey I had around, just for moisturizing, but it actually got rid of my pimples and healed wounds (PanOyxl dried my pimples quite effectively but took longer for wounds to close). My face is back to normal after only 2 days!

I only use Lactacyd as a facial wash (because of salicylic acid, and it's gentler on the skin). Then I pat my skin dry, apply the honey and leave it on for 10 mins., before taking a bath in the morning and at night.

Because it has proven safe for my skin I am thinking I will fare better if I leave it on longer. I feel so happy I discovered this purpose, after all the years and money I've spent on chemical products.

My mother, who disapproves of me putting anti-acne creams and gels on my face, surprisingly gave a thumbs up when I told her it was honey I was using. She didn't like that I looked like a glop of monster while using the mask though :)

Pros Really Works, makes pores smaller, signifcantly reduces inflammed acne, makes less red, and seems to help with post acne marks
Cons should use raw organic honey, or even manuka honey which can be very expensive

Sticky and messy
Bottom line I really cant believe something that has been in my cabinet all along could be this good for acne and red marks

I have only written one view before on ZInc, and have tried so many products to help heal my acne, most with little success. I have moderate to light acne mostly forehead and some small ones on cheeks, but my problem is when i get a pimple it usually stays red for awhile and takes foreverrr to go away. For the past couple months my acne has pretty much cleared, with the help of zinc and just eating healthier (lots of fruits, vegetables and fish oils) but i still ocassionally get a pimple. I had heard about honey before and tried some on some pimples i got that were pretty inflammed.
All i have to say is wow. this stuff really works. I'm the first one to doubt things but i left it on overnight and i woke up and it had significantly reduced and my skin looked more even. Been using it for couple weeks and it is still working well. I even sometimes add turmeric to it because that is suppose to be good for fading post acne marks. Trust me and try it, honey is very antibacterial and will not clog pores. But definitely get the expensive raw honey, it can be pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. I hope this works for others because for me it really does work wen other products don't do as much and work as fast. Its not a miracle cure but it def works very well. Hope this helped!

Pros Moisturizes without breaking me out
'calms' my skin
reduces pore size
natural
inexpensive
Cons annoying to apply
Bottom line While it hasn't cured my cystic hormonal acne, it has calmed the smaller other acne I get, it makes lesions heal faster and my skin looks healthier overall.

I am going to continue to use this even if I get my hormonal acne sorted out.

- No Side-Effects

Bottom line I mixed CINNAMON powder with HONEY and used it as a spot treatment overnight.

My Results:
I was very pleased by the results from the honey and cinnamon treatment last night. I applied it on a couple of pimples I could see coming as well as a few old pimples that had just left some marks that were still healing.
In the morning, on the new pimples, the honey was completely absorbed and the pus/etc had been brought completely to the surface. It had basically been cleaned right out. There was no progress on the old pimple marks.
However, this evening (about 24 hours after original application) I noticed one of the marks on my forehead had almost completely disappeared.
I've heard it takes a bit of time for the honey (and cinnamon) to do its magic, but I'm already seeing a few instant results! I'm excited to continue my spot treatment.

What I Used:
The honey that I used was what I had on hand, which was natural honey from Austria. However, I went out and bought 100% natural and organic Canadian Honey today for $6, mixed that with cinnamon tonight, and am trying it again as a spot treatment.
I have heard of Manuka honey but I am not willing to spend the large amount of money right away. The Canadian honey is still 100% honey and 100% organic, with no chemicals or additives.
The Canadian honey is not runny, but thick, and requires a bit of effort to scoop out of the jar. Then, to mix it with the cinnamon, it must be kneaded with a knife or stirring stick so it can reach a more gooey consistency. This is the only real challenge. It can then be safely stored in a glass jar and, like regular honey, does not need to be refrigerated or thrown away.

Save some on the side too for a snack or on your toast, is tastes great, and has many other health benefits!

Pros Non irritating, Natural, Anti inflammatory, Anti bacterial
Cons Messy, packaging
Bottom line I have never, NEVER had results like this so quickly using anything and I have used about everything. I wash my face w/ a mild cleanser and then apply a layer of honey (Get raw, organic, unfiltered honey and not the crap in the honey bear.etc) as a mask...I leave it on for as long as I want and then rinse off.
Redness and Inflammation is instantly reduced

Give this a try!

Pros gentle
smells good
easy
cheap
Cons did not get rid of the pimple
Bottom line I used natural honey as a spot treatment. (put a little warm saltwater on the zit to dry it up then a dab of honey on it overnight)
First of all...I'd tried to (stupidly, haha) pop it before because I saw some puss. Nothing came out, but I didn't want to wash my face with anything harsh, so I decided to try honey because I needed it gone fast. I heard this was supposed to be an overnight zit zapper. However, when I woke up the next morning, it was even redder and worse.
BUT! Even though it didn't get rid of the zit, it brought the bacteria/oil/puss to the surface, so I barely had to touch it to get all of that nasty stuff out.
Bottom line, it was a great, natural way to bring everything to the top, but it didn't quite cure it.
