Pros:
fast-acting, cheap, easy
Cons:
odor, burning sensation, possible skin allergies to allicin
I use the Eminence line at home, and it is expensive! I have moderate cystic acne, and the expensive products have yet to show any visible progress on the severity of the acne, and I use it to the "t". They have a masque with Garlic and Tomato, so I thought I would research Garlic in general since I know of its naturopathic benefit. Last night I tried it, and it has worked right away in clearing my skin. It has not gone away, but the elevations of the cysts have diminished, the redness is paling, and the overall feel is less "infected". We will see if it keeps others from coming up.
I rubbed half a clove onto my clean, dry skin and let it sit for 5 minutes, no more. The burning sensation soon subsided, and i was left pink in those areas. (I only rubbed it on the acne itself). After, I rinsed with lukewarm water, and patted dry with a CLEAN towel and followed with my normal routine, organic spray toner, and moisturizer on the rest of my non-active skin before bed.We'll see how it go

Pros:
Doesn't increase the amount of acne on face, Reduces them especially the ones that look like its about to burst...arrrgh
Cons:
Stings when applied...but goes away really fast
It helps minimise the amount of acne on your face, although it'll take more than 2 applications for a immediate affect but it's convenient when you really have to get out there and look glam, you can still feel like you haven't got a pizza-face but feel moderately free that the big mountains on your face are actually going away

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:
It cleared up redness and white heads quickly.
Cons:
It burns a little bit.
It works extreamly well. Garlic has natural anti-bacterial properties (sulfides). Anyway, I made a mask from oatmeal, honey, vinegar, and crushed garlic, applied it to my face until the mask dried, rinsed with warm water, and applied an aloe based lotion. Try it.

Cons:
It really really burns and makes my eyes tear, and an awful smell
I've used it for only two days but haven't noticed any improvement yet. Perhaps I leave it on too long and my fair skin can't deal with it too well. But I'm a little desperate right now. Been on too many medications and topical cremes. SO I'll try keeping it on for shorter periods of time and will comment in a few more days, to see how it goes.

judging by the comments left on the boards, i suggest to only use garlic for heavy duty pimples. if you hav a light severity of pimples use a type of cream or eat properly and drink plenty of water. garlic does smell horrible and if you leave it on your face long enough will leave a burn mark. BE CAREFUL!

Pros:
Got rid of my pimple
Cons:
It burned/stung my skin and left a red blotch/burn that didn't come off for a couple weeks (eventually it turned purple and went away...)
No, I wouldn't use it.
It burned my skin BUT it removed the pimple (although I basicly traded off the pimple for a red blotch....not much of a diffrence! LOL) and it also stings. I hear it works of lots of other people though!

Pros:
...nothing really.
Cons:
Funky odor!
This stuff REALLY works. Sure it might sting a little, & make your face stink like crap a few days. & your skin might begin to dry up & look like a permanet black mark, it'll work. so instead of applying it, consume it. It worked for me, if your skin is left with acne scars apply, a mixture of viegar & salt & rub on pimples. Leave for 10-20 minutes before removing with Luke warm water, TRUST me..this stuff really works!
Pros:
i hvnn't see much improvment on my skin .. but i'll keep using it for a week and see
