Pros:

Softens skin
Reduces redness
Gets rid of acne scars by exfoliating
Shrinks pimples

Cons:

MAKES YOU SNEEZE
Dries out skin if used too much
Messy

This works wonders, but don't use it everyday like I did. It really dries out your skin, so using this at least 2-3 times a week would be best. Follow with a moisturizing lotion after. I would re purchase this item.

Pros:

-flattened acne
-cheap
-made skin feel fresh and clean

Cons:

-not really anything, just a little messy to make!

IT FLATTENED MY ACNE! My pimples are still a little pink, but they are much flatter! I read instructions on how to make it on another review and I tried it and in a few hours my the size of my pimples was reduced! 1)crush 5 aspirins on a small plate and put the powder into a bowl. 2) add little amounts of WARM water until the mix is like a paste. 3) (optional) Honey can be added so the mixture doesn't dry your face out as much! (If it needs more water after the honey is added, just ADD IT! ) 4)spread evenly over your face, massaging lightly as you do. 5) wear for 10-20 minutes and rinse off with warm water! *If it seems too rough and not looking like a mask don't worry as it dries you will feel it hardening like a mask. Hope it works as good for you as it did for me! :)

Pros:

Cheap, easy to find, really works give it a week and you will see results. I tell all my friends to try it.. TRY IT!!!

Cons:

must be consistent. your face may dry up a little.

I had moderate ace since i was 13 (now 20) & my face has never looked better. I do an acne mask twice a day 4 times a week, and it has worked very well for me. I also use it with a toner after i wash and scrub the mask with a salicylic acid scrubbing formula. I have tried so many products out in the market, and this has worked way better than all of those products with fast results. It leaves your face very clean and with a nice clean glow. I went to the movies and a friend I had not seen in a while said that my face looks great. I felt so happy because someone had actually noticed my face has been clearing up. I used to suffer from acne on my cheeks and my chin line and is complete gone all i have is a few marks and small little pores that will hopefully fade away. My skin does get a little dry after I wash it and pat it dry so make sure u buy an oil free moisturizer. My skin is soft with no bumps I love it. I also take vitamin a,e,c it helps (research it) ! Good Luck!

Pros:

-reduce pimples size
-soften skin
-prevent pimples

Cons:

-messy
-irritates skin at first
-difficult to spread

I used 2 300mg pills. I dropped some water on them and they dissove easily. However, i have difficulty to spread them evenly on my face. When it dried, the powder start to fall off when i twitch my face. However the effect so great, my face glow and pimples dries up.My face felt squeaky clean. I will use it every other day..

Pros:

Cheap, simple, and pretty fast results

Cons:

Face can feel kinda raw when you wash it off, depending on how well you were able to crush the aspirin

It's very helpful. If I have a zit with no head, just a bump that won't go down, this'll do it. I just mix it with something that'll help it stick (like hydrocortisone), and put it on over night. Usually gone in like 2-3 days if I do that every night

Pros:

I read that the active ingredient in aspirin is salicylic acid (beta hydroxyl acid) which only dissolves in oil- unlike the alpha hydroxy acid in prescribed acne stuff. So to use it as a facial peel I mixed the crushed aspirin with a little water and then mixed it with olive oil. The oil is very soothing and mayb eit is as good as a moisturiser. I'm hoping it will peel the scaly stuff that is emerging after the benzoyl peroxide cream I've been using.

Cons:

I haven't really used it long enough to find out if it reduces the angry red bumps on my chin. After trying the cleansing/benzoyl peroxide/moisurising regimen for a week I'm not sure if anything is really working. If I don't see results in another week I'm off to a dermatologist.
Maybe I don't have acne - maybe it's perioral dermatitis, menopausal acne, rosacea etc etc

Worth a go!

Pros:

- reduces redness and size
- works as an exfoliator
- makes skin soft and smooth
- helps visibly infected pores

Cons:

- hard to apply because its grainy
- messy

Aspirin works so well on inflamed pimples because it helps to calm it down :) I did have one that was coming (could feel it and it was red that area) and I put aspirin on it last night and this morning I could still see it but the bump was somewhat reduced. When its time to wash off it acts as a great exfoliator, so basically this mask leaves your skin less infected, less red and smoother :)

good to try
It works. I dissolve it in 2 drops of water and apply it on blemishes. It really helps inflammation and helps them heal. I really like it.

Pros:

Exfoliating, very inexpensive, many many uses.

Cons:

Can irritate skin, especially if you rub

Aspirin masks are far too irritating to use on my face, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them for my legs, pre- and post-shaving. It totally clears up any razor bumps or ingrown hairs, and helps my shaves last for days (instead of mere hours). I made a pre-shave mask with ground up uncoated aspirins, honey, and glycerin. I let it sit on my legs a few minutes, then VIGOROUSLY rubbed it in with scrubby gloves right before shaving. After shaving, I used a home-made aspirin toner, with 70% alcohol and witch hazel, then moisturized with jojoba oil. My legs feel sooooooo smooth, even on the second and third days.
