Cons:
Can be a little messy
Tastes bad if you get in mouth
I just started using epsom salt a few days ago and I already notice wonderful results. I have tried more products than you can imagine. I have been suffering with moderate acne for 11 years now, and my face has recently reacted from all the years of using harsh chemicals. I have developed very red, itchy skin as a result. So aside from battling break outs, I am battling excessive redness and irritation. The epsom salt has healed my current breakout in a day, and my complexion looks great. The redness has gone away and my face is very smooth. I truly hope that these results last and that this product will help prevent future break outs as well. Only time will tell. So far I am very pleased and will continue to use it. I have switched over to all natural products because my skin cannot handle the harsh chemicals anymore. I use epsom salt with a little bit of purpose cleanser mixed in. Definitely worth a try! Hope to finally have a true success story. Fingers crossed. Good luck to all of you!!

Pros:

I have used Panoxyl 10% for about 1 1/2 years now.. for the first year, it did little for my skin. I moisturized with CAM lotion (my brother got it from the dermatologist) and it worked okay but I was still not clear. Then I made my own toner (witch hazel, lemon juice, water) and it made my pores close and my skin feel soft-ish. Then it hit me - why not use epsom salt? So I read about it online, and I tried it. I have to say it didn't do anything on the first day for me, but it's been about a week and a half and I can't believe how much my skin has improved!! It is AMAZING. My skin is so soft that I practically don't need a moisturizer! Just try it!

Pros:
-clears new acne spots up instantly
-does not dry out your skin
-makes a great mask
-brings acne to heads fast then heals them
-SERIOUSLY WORKS
Cons:
-NONE
I have been using epsom salt for a week and all I can say is wow! This stuff seriously works. I have been struggling with acne for years now (cystic acne on my jawline) and nothing has worked as effectively and quickly at reducing it. Within two days i noticed a difference in my skin! Epsom salt literarily pulls the infection right to the surface of your face then heals it and the acne disappears! I have been using it as a mask day and night. I cleanse my face then create an epsom salt mask by mixing the salt in warm water...then splash it on my face and let it sit for 10-15min before rinsing. Seriously people it can't hurt to try it! Its so CHEAP and gives you RESULTS quickly!

Pros:
- Affordable
- Exceptional face mask & acne treatment
- When the epsom salt dries on the face, it doesn't feel like it's draining the oils out of your skin. It feels amazing :)
Cons:
It can be tricky trying to find the perfect combination. Some prefer epsom salt and water, others epsom salt and some oil. It's all to do with your skin type and tolerance :)
I highly recommend epsom salt. I never had acne in high school and up until middle college years, I broke out in areas I NEVER experienced before. It is a real confidence stinger knowing you still get acne into adulthood. Epsom salt really is a life saver. I find it works best when I use it nightly [on a daily basis] and is amazing as a spot treatment. I use spectro jel as a cleanser [before] and I scoop out a bit of the salt and dissolve into hot water. I stir the two and using a cotton ball, I place it all over my face as a night treatment/mask :) It is God sent!! x

Pros:
reduces oiliness
unclogs blackheads over time
brings pimples to a head quickly/ reduces redness from new pimples
dries pimples
cheap
Cons:
nothing i can't handle
- stings on open wounds (like how regular salt would)
i apply a solution of epsom salt with water on the affected areas each time after a shower and let dry naturally. the salt dries on the skin leaving a very slight grainy feel. my skin stopped feeling oily (but never dry), pimples dry up faster. sometimes i rub the solution on my face for a longer time and find blackheads dislodging. you have nothing to lose, it's inexpensive and worked very well for me.

Pros:
Cheap
Works really really well for cystic acne especially.
Cons:
Stings if you get it in the eyes
I put this stuff on and within 24 hours my cystic acne had come to a head. Drainage was easy and there is no heavy scarring. It's healing up really nicely. Think I'm going to be using this forever.

Pros:
-works quickly
-relatively little dryness (not a problem with jojoba)
-natural
-really cheap
-really works!
Cons:
- I have to use it really frequently (5x a day) for full effectiveness (so worth it)
I took an old Clinique moisturizer squirt bottle, filled it with a tablespoon of epsom salt and distilled water. I shook it up and started dabbing it with my bare, clean fingers about five times a day, letting it sit for a half hour then washing it off (sometimes I let it just stay on if its not feeling too dry). Brought my pimples to a head in one day and got rid of splotchiness in a week. I have tried everything -- differin, doxicycline, proactive, retina micro, duac -- this was the most effective. I swear by it. It's worth a try... so cheap. Best secret that pharmaceuticals don't want you to know!

Pros:
leaves skin amazingly soft
less oil buildup
gets rid of acne/redness
inexpensive
Cons:
None I can think of
I tried this stuff on a whim. I had it sitting in my closet and I said what the heck. I am in my 40's dealing with hormonal acne and thyroid issues. I am currently on a regime of Dan's BP in the am and Retin A at night. My skin overall is quite good, expect for pesky acne around the hairline and on the jawline/sides of neck. These stubborn spots don't seem to respond to any type of treatment I have tried...they just seem to stay there. Well, low and behold, I take about a half teaspoon of epsom salt and mix it with my glycolic cleanser. It felt awesome on my skin and left it amazingly smooth and clean. I have less oil buildup in my T-Zone. Best of all, the little bumps are slowly going away on my hairline and neck. I am not using any other product on those areas but the glycolic cleanser mixed with the epsom salt. I am pretty impressed, to say the least. Again, I don't have severe acne or cysts, so I am not sure how this would work for that...but for my situation, it proved to be a winning product. I hope it continues working in the future.
Pros:
Reduces Redness
Improves overall complexion (looks smooth and more even toned)
Heals breakouts FAST
Lightens scars
Very inexpensive
