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!!!

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:
Softer, brighter skin, reduction of bumps and redness, smaller pores.
Cons:
can be drying
I still can't believe it. I keep expecting my skin to start breaking out again, but it hasn't. I started mixing 4-5 crushed aspirin with moisturizer (ponds dry skin cream) and using as a mask. the moisturizer helps with drying and hen i wash it off, the aspirin exfoliate. i haven't tried honey yet because i'd never heard of that, but i definitely will. and yes, i have tried just about everything. this works very quickly, for bumps, scars, and blackheads.

Pros:
It slayed the monster that took over my forehead! It took a few days, but made a noticable difference right away. Follow it up with a gentile swab of peroxide and you're good to go!
Cons:
Burns a little and can really dry you out, but a good moisturiser takes care of it.
It works and only takes 1 pill as a spot treatment or 5 for your whole face. At $7 for 500 pills, you can't go wrong.

Pros:
I’ve been browsing the net for a treatment for acne. I’m 25 and still get it quite badly. Anyway I cam across this site and this idea. Because it is so cheap and I had some Aspirin in my cupboard I decided to give it a go. Used 4 tablets with a w
Cons:
None
I'm def gonna use it again. People seem to worry about the '˜risks' but if you get a headache you take 3 Aspirins? As long as you don't use 20 odd on your face I don't see how you are at risk. If your not sure about it'don't do it! Simple. I mean people have acid peels and don't worry about absorbing that!!! If anyone has acne give it a go!!!!!!!!!!! Its not gonna cost a lot to find out!!!! Thank to whoever posted this!!!!!

Pros:
Cheap as chips, easy to find, skin feels smooth
Cons:
texture not great - may need to combine with something else (honey, aloe vera, etc)
Have just used this once, so can't comment yet except to say that my skin is smoother and I may try with some 100% aloe vera gel as the "paste" is more like wet sand, so doesn't stay on well. But, I came across the following article:
[link edited out] There may be something to this... The beta hydroxy, salicylic acid and anti inflammatory in aspirin make it seem logical

Pros:
Makes skin soft, tightens pores, dries out oil, helps zits dry up and fades redness, CHEAP!
Cons:
Dries out skin if used often, makes me sneeze so I can't leave it on long, has to be used quite often to keep skin clear.
Nice addition to routine, I was using it about 4-5 nights a week and it made my skin dry and flakey even with tons of moisturizer. I was then using it as an over night spot treatment and it worked the first couple of nights but then did nothing after awhile. I now use it as a face mask about 1-2 times a week and that is all that is needed. No miracle cure, but helps to keep my skin clearer than normal. If you feel a big zit coming on you can leave it on overnight to help dry it out.

The single greatest acne fighter I have ever used. I've been using the masks for probably nearly a year now. For a while I was using them while using other products that were way to harsh, but after switching to a much more gentle wash and using this nightly the results have been amazing. I reccomend this to all my friends who mention acne related complaints!
December 24, 2006
Pros:
Cheap, easy and it works!
I alternate between the asprin mask and the refining mask by proactive. The asprin mask gives me good results the next day, as I have noticed that the color of my acne scars are fading and my breakout cycle has slowed down. I am going to try the asprin mask with honey and vinegar next!

Pros:
It shrinks the pimple with a few applications. Makes the life of your pimple shorter.
Cons:
smells a little if you keep it in a container
Crush a few asprin tablets mix with a litle bit of water and use as a mask or spot treatment.
Pros:
SMOOTH skin (baby's butt smooth)
