Pros:

Works great. Pimples disappear.

Cons:

Smelly

Use carefully. Never let it over night may cause burns. Use it for 5 minutes max and wash face. May be diluted with a bit of water. Worked great as opposed to all the expensive creams/ treatments tried before.

Pros:

It's easy and cheap. And it really does help.

Cons:

Nothing really. Unless Your allergic, which Im not. And many people say that the smell is horrible, but i like the smell of garlic, call me crazy.

The way I use it is I eat a clove a day, and rub it on my face three times a week. It works inturnal and exturnal, you can't beat it. I've tried alot of stuff, but i find that my face becomes immune to the store bought face products. I found that the best cleaners for MY face is apple cider vineger OR garlic. I've never tried both at a time, and i don't suggest you do.

Pros:

visibly reduces the size of the pimples, and stops new ones

Cons:

stings, and smells

it works.i previously read about using garlic on the internet for acne, but i was scared to try it cos i read also it burns, and the bad odour, so i searched for another option, then , it will be raw apple cider vinegar. ok, so i went to the grocery store, and saw only distilled apple cider, which i could not put on my face. to cut the long story short, i crushed the half clove of garlic, put in somewarm water to bring out the juice, and then added some natural honey to be sure i will never get burnt. and honey is also good on the skin.i will keep using it.

Pros:

It's cheap , easy and WORKS!

Cons:

stinks and burns when you apply it to the acne pimple.

It works. Don't leave it on your acne for more than 20 minutes. OK? That's probably why some people get burns and brown marks , because they leave it on too long. 15-20 minc , then was it off. And don't put it all over your face , just on the acne.Rub olive oil on your face if it gets dry. Good luck.

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.
