Cons:
can be very drying
I used 6 Aspirins dissolved in few drops of water, then i dab some hydrogen peroxide after washing my face from the solution. I do this every night, and sometime in the morning if I don't go out in the sun. After a week or so, i did see amazing results as first witnessed by my dad's officemate.

Pros:
you can easily test it on one hand compared to the other before on face-as with any mask. skin is very soft and helps acne. with regular use i actually get compliments about my skin and questions as to how i got it that way. not to forget super cheap
Cons:
if not used to your skin being red for about 15 min afterwards...
if u r not a chemist, don't make this complicated. any non-coated asprin should suffice. be careful of what you mix the crushed aspirin with. best to use water first. i use cetaphil cleanser. works wonders. on uncoated aspirin you can place one to two drops of water on an individual pill and it should easily break apart.

Pros:
Smooth Skin, Affordable, Multipurpose, Simple
Cons:
Slightly Messy
The Aspirin Mask is a great alternative to try. Unlike other facial products that contain a copious amount of chemicals and fragrances, Aspirin is extremely basic and helps to smooth the skin, reduce redness, and treat acne. I find the the Aspirin mask works good with 3-5 tablets and a few drops of water, you want a very grainy mixture. Once achvieved, spread on the skin and leave for 5-10 minutes. From there to get an even exfoliation, an electric toothbrush achives the microdermabrasion effect without the expensive cost. Rinse the skin following scrubbing, and apply toner to remove any aspirin grains still remaining on the skin. Following all of this, apply a moisturizer with SPF. This process takes at most 10 minutes and used once daily I find my skin is now trained and has evend in complexion and lessened in acne.

Pros:
The aspirin mask plus honey has really shrunk my pores and decreased my skin's oil production after application -- two things nothing else has accomplished -- and also seems to have decreased (although not eliminated) pimples.
Cons:
Messy, and I found the mask works much better than using aspirin as a scrub, so I have to keep it on for half an hour.
Really worth a try. It's not an elegant solution -- you look comical covered in aspirin paste -- but it is incredibly cheap and fairly effective. I should mention I use it in combination with Duac and Differin. When I tried to stop the Duac and just use aspirin and Differin, I broke out more. But using all three together is much more effective (so far) than just using the prescription products.

Pros:
More even-toned skin, softer, smoother and reduces redness.
Cons:
A little drying, but my skin is dry to begin with. Nothing a little Olay moisturizer won't fix.
About two months ago I started getting these little blemishes on my forehead and my cheeks...nothing seemed to work until I sucked it up and tried doing this. Once a day I take 4-5 little uncoated tablets (I got like...a billion of them at CVS for $7), mix them up into a paste with some hot water. Then, I mix it with my Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and wash my face with it for about two minutes. Don't SCRUB! Very gentle rubbing is best. It's been about three days so far, and I'm happy to say that those little forehead/cheek blemishes are almost all gone! After, I use some Olay Complete Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 - Sensitive Skin....and my face is starting to look normal again! I haven't used it as a mask yet, but perhaps I'll try it one day!

Pros:
Works really well and is remarkably cheap!
Cheapest most effective remedy yet. This is the miracle beauty secret I have searched for.

After using Retin-A and Differin for a year to clear up some serious acne (it really took about a year) I have been trying to get rid of some of the scarring and red marks. I have gotten chemical peels, and lasers done, and while those have helped a little, nothing has worked as well as the aspirin mask. The strange thing is, even normal sacylic acid hasn't been helpful, it is just too drying and makes my skin feel funny. I still have a little acne, and it cleared that up, and has evened out my skin tremendously. It is starting to fade some of the redmarks, and I have only used it four days in a row! It also is not painful compared to lasers and chemical peels, and best of all...it's sooo much cheaper! Please try this!!!

Pros:
SMOOTH skin (baby's butt smooth)
Cons:
Using the aspirin with just water is hard to do. It flakes and takes practice to figure out how much water to add.
I tried this for the first time last night and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Like everyone else has said, after all the HUNDREDS of dollars I have spent on every kind of acne product out there, I finally found one that costs me $4.00 every two weeks or so! All I use is genaric uncoated aspirin mixed with water. It's only been on use, but my skin is so smooth and the bumps I could not get rid of on the sides of my cheeks are barely noticable and far less rough. It is NOT drying either (which I thought it would be). I don't use any moisturizer. I think I'll keep this up every other day to hopefully see even better results!
Pros:
dries out my zits in a span of 1 week and cleared my skin
