Cons:
hard to crush, but I've read it is better to take 3-4 aspirin and put water on them and let it soak in
Take the aspirin, apply water and let absorb. Then, use on "spots". Wait 5-10 minutes. Apply the rest as a mask using a circular motion. I left it on another 5 minutes and rinsed. My skin feels really soft.

Pros:
feels soft and first time in a long time I've felt I've had my baby-soft face back. reduces redness for my hormonal acne and you instantly see results. works wonders to your money maker
Cons:
NOTHING, ZILCH!!
I'm 17 yrs old and about only 3 months ago, i started to break out with hormonal acne, i've used dermalogica cleansers and duac gels recommended by doctors and by far, this home remedy is the closest i've gotten back to perfect skin ;), im currently thinking about stopping the duac gel use and just using an aspirin mask every night instead. cheappp as and will last you long time.

Pros:
-; definately reduces any redness, makes your skin very soft and smooth, easy to make, it's cheap, it works!
Cons:
-; makes your sun more sensitive to UV rays [or so I heard]
-; touching your soft skin too much might make it break out D:
I barely get pimples, if at all, but when I do I have a really bad habit of touching and scratching it, which tends to make it worse.. but this mask really helps to reduce it to nothing in almost no time at all [by that I mean a couple days? haha] it makes my skin feel really smooth and I can't stop touching it which will probably make me break out if my hands are dirty.. ewww. But yeah you should try it, it works. I've been using it once/twice a week for a couple months now :]

Pros:
soft, smooth skin, reduces redness. Even balances out color tones on my face.
Cons:
makes you far more susceptible to sun exposure. I heard it makes you 50% more susceptible. Be sure to use a good moisturizer and at least 30 spf protectant
absolutely great. I wish I had known about this as a pimple-faced teen. It would have made my teenage years so much easier!
I use BC powder because the caffeine is what helps with the redness and new studies show that caffeine used topically or ingested may prevent skin cancer.
I take one packet add a couple drops of water to make a paste, then a few drops of honey to make it adhere to my skin. I leave it on 10-15 mins max. Then wash with cold water and pat dry with soft towel. I use it only once a week as I am afraid of the effects of the sun because I am in the sun a lot.

Pros:
Reduced redness significantly
Reduced size of pimple
Worked quickly without side effects
Cons:
None really, the only thing that bothered me was the smell. But is bearable
(I am knocking on wood as I speak)
This has worked well for me so far. I got acne as a result of changing medicine and also it was hormonal. The first time I used it, I saw a big difference in redness and pimple size. I continued to use it and have been using it for a week (once a day). It smoothed out my face a lot and also reduced the number of pimples and redness.
I feel so much better about going out in public now, Thanks to this aspirin mask :)
April 9, 2009
Pros:
Cheap, WORKS!, easy to get hold of, Easy to do
Cons:
Can dry out skin if used too often, have to make it yourself, quite grainy texture (can come off your face if you touch it accidentally :S)
I have tried so many expensive products and this works better than any of them. I was a bit surprised at the consistency as I thought it would be more creamy but it is meant to be grainy (great for exfoliating). This definitely has improved my skin but just be careful not to use it too often. I did it every other day and started getting dry almost flaky bits of skin on my chin and cheeks. This could just be my sensitive skin but don't do it too often if you are worried about this. I do it twice a week. Also if you are taking paracetemol/aspirin for pain relief at the same time just be aware that your skin will absorb some aspirin. Not a lot but still - there is a possibility you could slightly overdose. But I don't think its that huge a deal with the amount that is absorbed.

Pros:
It reduces swelling, redness and bumps
Cons:
A little difficult to crush (if you don't have the right tools), a bit hard to apply if you use too much or too little water, can dry out skin if using water.
I haven't really started doing it consistently, but every time I've tried this it's worked wonderfully. After leaving the mask on for about 10 minutes, I immediately notice that individual zits are much smaller and redness is reduced overall. The effects are noticeable for up to a week after treatment.
I am confident that if I begin daily treatments, my skin will be completely clear within the next couple of weeks. I use the aspirin face mask in addition to the following skin care regiment (which I go through twice daily):
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
Neutrogena Oil-free Acne Stress Control
Neutrogena on the spot Acne Treatment
Nivea Creme
I am thinking of using aloe vera gell in the face mask instead of water, in order to further reduce any drying that might occur.
September 15, 2008
Pros:
Easy to use when mixed with honey
Cons:
No significant improvement on the acne
Acne did not clear at all but it calmed down the redness a bit. Had been using it everyday for the last week, without visible improvement or dryness either. Can't hurt to try if other treatments have been exhausted.
July 20, 2008
Pros:
MIRACULOUS! Instantly reduces redness. Skin smooth and clean
Cons:
Have to mix it yourself
Truly amazing! Had been mostly clear for years, and recently had BIG flair up. Tried Reg and really had trouble with BP - skin and eyes especially are just too sensitive. Am hooked on Purpose liquid, but know my face well enough that it needed extra cleaning and something else or I was going to be stuck with breakouts on my forehead, chin. Plus had a deep BIG red nod on my chin that just wasn't going away. SPRINKLED just a little water on 4 coated asprin and let it sit for awhile. Then mix with about 1T of honey. Scrubbed lightly onto my face and left for 30 minutes. Washed off with warm water and my skin instantly looked better! This morning redness was markedly better and even white heads were done. MIRACLE!!!
July 10, 2008
Pros:
effectively reduces acne, calms and smooths bumps/redness, even out skin tone
Cons:
none
I had moderately severe acne. Like many here, I've tried drugstore cleansers and masks, Proactiv, Nature's Cure tablets, etc all to no avail. I've used the aspirin mask for about half a year now, and for the first time since my mid-teens, I can leave the house without makeup/concealer. My skin is not perfect, but it looks a lot better. My sister's mild acne completely disappeared after two weeks of use. This REALLY works. Tips
*Buy non/lightly-coated tablets. They dissolve better in water.
*After dissolving aspirin, add a drizzle of honey. It's good for your skin, and keeps the aspirin from flaking off too much
Pros:
cheap
easy
keeps you from having yet another bottle in the bathroom
