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:

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:

Definitely reduced cysts on my face, made calmer areas appear clearer. It's interesting reading people's responses to it. I have very sensitive skin and can rub about two cloves of garlic over my face, leaving for the night, and I see results.

Cons:

Some people will not like the smell, but I love cooking with garlic! If I'm going to be working out or whatever, I steam my face to clean my pores of any left-over smell. Stings, yes, but should go away after a few minutes.

If you're not allergic to garlic, very good short-term break-out herbal solution. But it's only helping with the after-effects of acne, not dealing with the root problem. Whatever that really is.

Pros:

Reduces redness and helps reduce whiteheads.

Cons:

I found that the negative smell outweighed the benefits of using garlic topically.

I've been using garlic for a while now, as you can see from my previous posts. It works pretty well in the beginning but as time went by it seemed to stop working altogether. Basically, my mother told me my face looked worse than it ever had and that now I smelt funny. I stopped using it and went on a three day apple detox. That cleared up my skin for about a week or two and now everything seems to be coming back. So yeah.... not much luck there.

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.
