no real results..
Cons:
no results
inflammation
more acne surrounding application
I read in some beauty magazine try make an Aspirin and water paste, use as a spot treatment.. I was convinced of the logic of the salycic acid in it, it should work.. after about a year of applying on spots, I saw no results and actually more clogging and inflammation.. However, I have found I am one of those skin types chemicals an salycic acids cause almost like an allergic acne to occur.. best results with baking soda spot treatment

Great Mask
Pros:
It works!
Some dermatologists say it's safe enough to use it on the face
It works for inflammation, pigmentation and comedonal acne
Cons:
May not work the same for everyone
May take some time to see improvements
Careful with overdose
May not work for everyone, but it worked for me. I keep my acne (mostly comedonal) under control with Effaclar Duo and a consistent skincare regime, but i still have persistent bumps on my jaw line, hyperpigmentation from old spots and uneven skintone. I have blackheads (lots of them) on my nose, cheeks and forehead.
I came across this aspirin mask with Michelle Phan's video a few years ago, and i tried it. Didn't saw significant improvements, but at that time i wasn't consistent with it. I tried again a few weeks ago, and i'm pleased. It really helps with inflammation, pigmentation and helps even out the skintone. I also notice a difference in my comedonal acne, The bumps are less and blackheads seems to be decreasing. I must say that along with once a week mask, i also started the aspirin tone, and OMG it has done wonders! Even my hyperpigmentation is improving significantly! I use 2 aspirins (500mg), a few drops of water to break the aspirins and honey to keep it all together and give extra benefits for the skin.

Pros:
This worked amazingly well for me! I crushed 2 aspirin with half a banana and left it on my face for half an hour. It cleared some of my zits, reduced redness and swelling and left me with a beautiful glowy (not greasy) look that EVERYONE who knows me noticed.
Cons:
Doesn't clear acne per se, just deep cleanses and ''glowifies" (yes I totally made that word up).
For light to moderate acne sufferers who want some healthy looking skin. Use in conjunction with lemon juice as a toner, or apple cider vinegar applied topically.

Pros:
makes your face feel amazing
reduces swelling and a little redness
Cons:
doesn't really get rid of acne
I put the mix on my face and it was very watery, I put a little too much water. But putting honey in it does WONDERS for your skin. It feels fresh and tight and you can see a difference in one use

Pros:
It seems that everybody has a different way of doing things. I was reading the instructions from Kip. It seems that everybody is using the asprins & water to make a paste BUT forgets to add the HONEY. I'm 46 and still have acne belimishes or dark marks had them since I was 13 and is willling to try anything to make them go away forever.
Cons:
If you FOLLOW the correct directions it would work. Asprin is a blood thinner. My first time on this site, But I'll try it . But have 4-5 NON-COATED ASPRIN,Honey Warm Water.
Mix a little bit of local honey into the paste. Honey is a natural emollient and anti-microbial which has been used for centuries to calm problemed skin. [Asprin for the dollar store,honey in the cabinet & warm water for free]

Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Works as a good scrub
Cons:
- Didn't really work for me
- Can irritate skin
It didn't really work for me. I've heard of other people who swear by it. It doesn't hurt to try. Lemon juice treatment had been clearing up my skin so I'll stick with that.

Pros:
Cheap
Cons:
Messy
Doesn't Work
I tried this as a spot treatment to dry out some pimples I had picked at (yup, I'm a picker. Fml.) I mixed 2 tablets with a couple drops of water (you just need a tiny bit of water to make them dissolve. You can slowly add more as needed, but too much water will make it too thin, and you want a paste). I applied the paste as a spot treatment, and left it on until it started to flake off, about 10 minutes. I washed it off and noticed that the top layer of skin of the portions I had picked was easily exfoliated away (not healthy skin, but scab skin). Other than that, the inflammation was not reduced. Next day, no better. It seems like some people have had almost immediate positive reactions, but for me there was really no change. I didn't have any negative side effects, other than a waste of time. You should try it for yourself because everyone is different, but it just didn't do it for me.

Pros:
Cheap
Extremly effective on my skin
Easy to use.
Cons:
Dries out skin a bit
Crumbles everywhere when its dry
I have acne since I was 13, I am now 18. I suffered an endless battle with acne, making countless doctors and dermatologist trips, with no avail(luckily treatments are free here) I came across this asparin mask on the internet and i can say its truley worked wonders for me, but might not be for everyone, i have sentitive skin too. I dissolve 2 uncoated asparin tablets with a few drops of water, wait a few minutes and slather it on my face, try to sit as still as poss as it crumbles everywhere! Wait for upto 20 minutes then scrub it off with warm water, then i apply freshly squeezed lemon juice to my face and leave over night(check out the lemon juice feed on here!) please don't use bottled lemon juice, it contains lemon oil which broke me out like hell:( then i moisturise alot in the morning. My skin hasn't looked this good in years..would say i have a few spots now, not acne.. But the scars are still trouble. Can anyone reccomend anything for scars?:) many thanks.
Pros:
inexpensive
