Cons:
It stings but only for a minute. It makes you reek of, what else...garlic!
It's very effective as an overnight acne treatment. At night after I wash my face, I crush one clove and apply the juice to my problem areas Of course it stings, but that soon wears off. In the morning, the pimples have shrunk a bit and my skin looks smoother. It even seems to work on the cyst type pimples which surprised me.
I haven't noticed any burn marks though.

I use it only once today so i dont know about the pros and cons I read some of the comments. I only left it on for less nice 10 seconds and wash it off. I have this product by Kate Somerville called Exfolikate -Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, and it tell you to leave it on for 20-30 seconds. In about the first 10-15 seconds you can feel the burning a little. That why with the garlic I wash it off so fast. Garlic is really strong. I also dilute it with alots of water and use a very small piece of garlic. With anything that your using with ance only use a litle and dilute it with purified water. I will continue try the garlic. But remember dilute it and only use leave it on for 10 to 20 seconds.

Pros:
Taken internally works to rid body several infections
Cons:
The smell is hard to mask.
This really works! Depending on the type of pimple I have found only a few solutions that work every time, and Garlic is one of them. Crush fresh raw garlic and apply it to your skin. I've been using it on my body acne with amazing results. But I would take caution with the face. I use fresh Lemon on my face, because the garlic is a little too intense. For spot acne treatments I use raw honey/cinnamon/lemon. And take a few cloves of Garlic chased with WARM distilled water with lemon.. One of the best solutions you will find. And I've tried everything.

Pros:
-Helps get rid of pimples, discourages breakouts and blemishes.
-Works really fast!
Cons:
-It has a terrible smell!
-Can burn a bit.
I have used many acne products. I have dry acne-prone skin, so most acne products dry my skin too much. Garlic has worked for me pretty well. But if you apply topically, make sure to mix it with something else. I crush one clove of garlic and mix it with 1-2 Tsp. of raw honey. The honey gives my skin some moisture and makes it so the garlic does not burn my skin. ONLY leave it for 10-20 minutes! If you leave it on for too long it might burn your skin. Garlic can leave your skin a little bit red, but it gets rid of acne really fast.

Pros:
Its a natural anti-biotic
Cons:
Some are offended by the smell
The best to take garlic is to absorb it thru the skin. When you eat it the digestive acids in your stomach neutralizes the anti-bacterial agents in the garlic rendering it useless. When you rub it on your skin it goes right thru the skin to your blood to clean it with out passing thru the digestive system. Makes since? This is how I'm going to try it for my acne: Mash 3 cloves and let them sit at room temperature for 15 min.
Add 1 cup(varies) water to dilute because it is strong.
Leave it at room temperature for up to a couple of days then refrigerate.
After adding the water wash your face and use a cotton ball to apply garlic water to your face like and astringent.
I'm gonna do it before bed and whenever i'm not going out. I hope those of you who didn't have a good experience the first time, try it again the correct way. Good luck P.S. If you wanna learn more here's a good link: [link removed]
