Pros:

Used it topically and it is really good at reducing redness and suckin the crap out of your skin. used it three times and i was fine

Cons:

Used it last night and i left it on my spots like a mask all night. Now i have some sort of dirty pussy burn that am now trying to heal by dabbing salt water

If you don't use it too long you will be fine. Probably better of taking it orally than anything else. If you do use it topically leave it to soak in vinegar first then apply them both. works better.

Pros:

Completely cleared my skin

Cons:

Tastes bad! Really bad!!

I started eating abt 8 raw cloves of garlic a day and gradually increased it to 14. Having had moderate to severe acne, my skin has pretty much cleared out. I also take megadoses of Vitamin C(4-6gms). I absolutely have no more acne problems. Gr8 stuff!! Abt. eating raw garlic, my advice wld be to chew 1-2 cloves until it is crushed and then swallow it with a glass of water. PS: Don't put it on ur face. Its not meant to be applied topically.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Burnt my skin off
Too harsh

Tried once and it totally burnt my skin off, leaving pink flesh behind that looked like I had some terrible disease and took rather long to heal. If you really want to, dab with a Q-tip only on the pimple itself.

Pros:

None

Absolutely burnt my face off =| When using for the first time only apply a small amount of garlic juice to check the sensitivity of your skin. If you go overboard without knowing how sensitive your skin is, you'll end up like me with a very very burnt face =| Does anybody know how long the burns last for?

Pros:

garlic is tasty! Quick results, very cheap, completely natural.

Cons:

maybe the smell, but i don't mind it.

A friend told me about it a couple weeks ago as i was having a severe breakout. I've been eating anywhere from 1-8 cloves a day, almost always raw. within 3 days I noticed a rapid acceleration in my skin healing (also use aloe vera topically) within 8 days or so i saw no new pimples and my skin tone completely evened out (sometimes i get red irritated patches of skin on my face). Thanks to garlic I can now enjoy life in its fullest without having to worry if it will cause acne-garlic protects me!

Pros:

*Very cheap, taken orally in capsule form you can get 365 capsules for £4.
*No side effects as of yet and is apparently also an anti-fungal?
*Easy to swallow and don't have to go out of your way washing yourself.

Cons:

*Probably have to take more than the stated does, the packaging says 1 a day but I'm taking more like 5 a day.

Seems to work very well well on acne AND fungal skin infections, definately worth trying orally.

Pros:

Garlic applied topically works and the ingredients in raw garlic aggressively and quickly destroys the pimples.

Cons:

Extremely potent on the skin and can burn the skin, leaving a red mark on your face.

Use it in moderation. Too much garlic applied topically will burn the skin.

Pros:

The garlic does reduce inflamation It has worked better for me then Antibiotics,Lasers,Microderm,and any over the counter acne wash.

Cons:

I love garlic, but you will smell it all day long, if you want to limit the smell soak the cloves in milk for 20 min. Burns slightly for about 30sec, don't use this rememedy right before you leave your house..give it al least a half-hour.

Garlic, it is a pain in the a** to do every day...but it does help.
