Cons:
messy
hard to make/recreate
disappointed...
I made this with lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and water (plus aspirin, duhh) and it just didn't do the trick.. it didn't leave me squeaky clean or anything,and the EVOO made my face soooooooo oily and nasty, but it didn't cause any new acne. So I tried it later, and spilled all over myself because I made it too watery- so I'd say use ONLY water (better dry than oily, trust me) and make it the right consistency. I'm trying it in a little bit, hope it goes better! again guys, don't use any olive oil it doesn't wash off and its just bad.... yeah. :D

Pros:
skin feels smoother than I have ever felt before! my skin is usually oily, and it feels like the layer of oil has drastically reduced, skin feels lighter! I only get a little oiliness around nose in morning now.
i used dispirin (brand of aspirin). i bought name brand aspirin prior but the texture was way too chalky and not smooth enough texture for my liking. worth spending little bit extra on dispirin! i use 3 or 4 tablets, half a teaspoon of water and it just all dissolves very quickly. I then add one squirt of honey and mix. I apply on face, leave 20-30 mins. Then i pat on some water and lightly exfoliate the mask off. Follow with moisturise. Skin feels squeaky clean and super soft. Use 1 or 2 times max a week. Still get the odd spot here and there, but not as bad. Might update on progress in a few months! I'm very happy with the results for me :-)

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!

DO IT THIS WAY!!
I was getting irritated every time I used the aspirin mask because as soon as it dries on your face, the crushed aspiring starts "snowing" all over you. BUT , I've found a great way around this.
Whether you use water or witch hazel (I use WH) to mix your aspirin, if you can put a squirt of honey in the mix as well. Don't worry, honey is not bad for your skin. I hear it's actually really great for it ! The honey makes it so the mask actually sticks to your face instead of snowing off onto your clothes lol.

Pros:
-Smoothes skin
-Cheap!
Cons:
-When it dries, it snows all over you (try it, you'll know what I mean lol)
I've tried the aspirin mask several & several times in the past 3 weeks. At first I used water, now I'm using Witch Hazel. I haven't gotten any new pimples since I've been using the mask & my face feels very smooth after every mask. So I will continue to use it.

I don't use it all over my face, just as a spot treatment. If you get the aspirin wet and put about a quarter of it onto a zit and then put a band-aid over it and leave it on overnight, it draws out the zit and dries it out, leaving a dry little red spot that is easily covered and goes away in a day or two. This way, you don't have to pick or pop your zits so you won't have scarring! It's literally an overnight remedy. And, my mom buys aspirin so it's always in the house and accessible.

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:
Calms inflammation
Smooths skin
Prevents new acne
Cons:
if used too often, will stop working
I used to crush up aspirin and mix it with a tiny bit of water and spread on my face, and it worked pretty well. I started doing it around 4 times and week, but soon it stopped working. I would recommended, but dont do this very often at all.

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.
