Pros:

This mask is awesome! gets rid of pimples very fast, and fades red marks and scars!

Cons:

none- you could complain about mixing it and the time you have to wait, but who cares if its this good!

I've had acne for about 3 years.. and i've tried every single thing there is- trust me. I just started Roaccutane which is my last hope at a long term cure. My doc said i would get an initial flare up (badly) but the same night i started using the Roaccutane, i started using this mask and my skin is getting clearer not worse! amazing, just try it :p

Pros:

very affordable, softens and tightens skin, also acts as an exfoliant, calms acne slightly

Cons:

none that I can think of

Found out about this from this site, thought I'd give it a try. It's not a miracle cure but it did help my skin and I will continue to use it. I've had acne for about 13 years now, have gone through Accutane and various cremes. My acne is incredibly resistent, but not as severe as it used to be. The aspirin mask really helped calm it down, and even softens up some of the bumpier acne on my face. I can totally feel it cleans better than the Nivea exfoliant I buy. I use 3-4 aspirin tablets and little bit of honey and leave it on for about 20 mins, 3 times a week. Other people may need to do it less frequently as apparently it can dry skin out pretty fast. It definetly has a positive inpact on my complexion so far and I fully recommend it!

Great spot treatment for those pesky, painful, persistent pimples
I LOVE ASPIRIN FOR ACNE. I first came across aspirin masks in high school from an old school Michelle Phan video: [link edited out] I used them about 1-3 times a week and noticed they were having an immediate effect, with my overall complexion improving within 1-2 weeks and with the larger, cystic pimples shrinking pretty much right away. This makes sense considering the masks are a combination of salicylic acid, exfoliation, and if you add honey, moisturizer (all important soldiers in the war against acne). The masks did not, however, completely cure my acne, and after a while seemed to lose its initial magical effect. I think this is because not only was my skin getting somewhat used to/resistant to the salicylic acid, the mask was still very drying for my dehydrated skin, and the harsh grains of the aspirin were too strong of an exfoliant for my sensitive skin on top of that. However, this is still an amazing spot treatment for painful, pus-filled cystic acne that can last up to a month and cause dark marks for weeks after. Not only does it immediately calm the pain and dry up any oozing, it also reduced the size and redness and helps them heal a lot faster. Since I'm going for the full drying effect for these types of pimples, I'll usually skip the honey and just crush one aspirin with a droplet or two of water to make a paste, rub them on and around the pimple, and leave it there until dried (about 5 minutes). Then I'll wash it off, ICE that sh*t to calm the swelling even more, pat dry with a clean towel, and put on a thin layer of benzoyl peroxide. Sometimes I'll even pop an ibuprofen if it's an especially painful one, or put on a Nexcare Acne patch if it's an especially oozy one. Thank you, Aspirin.

Pros:

Cheap
Easy to make

Cons:

Bad for sensitive skin
Messy
Lots of side effects

Basically I had a large spot ony forehead and read the asprin can help, I did as I should have but ended up reacting quite badly. My whole face swelled up leaving me unable to openy eyes and having painful headaches due to the pressure around my face. It happened at the worst time aswell I had 3 gcse exams that week and my Prom at school the week after. I didn't worry about testing it on a small patch because I have never had a reaction and don't have sensitive skin, but I wish I had. I ago have just left the spot alone because I now have a large scar. Not worth it Overall test on a small area first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Works great! I ger these big red bumps on my forehead. I tried everything, and it wouldn't get rid of them. I tried this earlier today for the first time, and applied it for 15 min. And it reduced the redness, and the size of it shrunk!

Cons:

None!

Works great, fast and affective! And also very cheap! I crushed 2 Aspirins mixed it with 4 drops of water, mixed and applied on the troubled area. Waitied 15 minutes and washed it off. The redness and the size of the bump reduced! I think after a few more tries, it will be gone (cross my finger). I wish I would of known about this earlier!

Pros:

Affordable, easy, and worked VERY well (I made mine with honey)! I a saw noticeable in my skin texture after just one use! Plus, the honey makes it smell really nice, too!

Cons:

None!

I mixed 4 aspirin, 1/4 teaspoon water, and a couple squirts of honey all together and spread the mixture over my face. I let it sit for 15 minutes and then washed it off, letting the aspirin exfoliate my skin. After just one use, I saw such great results. My skin was so much smoother and softer, and my pores seemed tighter and less noticeable. It seems to have made my existing pimples smaller, too! I was so thrilled with the results! My skin really does look fresh and beautiful now. If you haven't tried this, do it! You have nothing to lose!!!

I used the aspirin mask with honey - it was amazing, and I loved the smell of the honey. The gritty texture exfoliated my skin very nicely. My skin feels so smooth!

Pros:

Cheap, which is ALWAYS, -ALWAYS- a pro! Can be used with aloe vera, honey, plain yogurt, witch hazel, or just alone with the water.

Cons:

Some dryness to the skin in certain areas, not suggested for those with sensitivities to aspirin or honey.

Used this a few days ago, and noticed near immediate results. Finer bumps along the hallow of my cheekbones shrunk, and redness relieved. Also noticed a few nasty acne scars fade a bit, particularly one along my chin; that sucker was sticking out like a sore thumb! It's still pretty noticeable, but not nearly as bad. Had a few bumps that I could feel, JUST under the surface of my skin. I knew immediately that they were going to be real shiners, but today...I can't feel them, at all! All I can say, is try it. But, don't think you're gonna get immediate results. It may take a few weeks before you notice any drastic changes. And be careful! Even if you use something like honey or yogurt, that's not enough to keep your skin from drying out. Use a moisturizer.
