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.

This works I'm serious! I was so desparate and SAD because of my acne then used garlic and BOOM baby! In two days use.. WOW is all I can say First day not much difference because I only left it on for a little bit and didn't put much on second day I put so much on and left it for 15 minutes or a bit more (please don't use it overnight!) and it dried up my acne I'm serious right there I was so surprised now all that's left of my acne is these dried little spots I don't have active acne anymore I'm soo happy! Trust me it worked for me!

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:

Good as an anti-inflammantory if it is eaten.

Cons:

Topicaly it left burnt marks on my face took weeks to heal.

I put slices of garlic on my spots for 15 m, and without mentioning the pain. it burnt my face, left ugly brown marks, and took weeks to heal. I used aloe vera in order to reduse the brown marks. However, when I eat few gloves everyday, that makes my pimples less, but the smell of my breath is awful! So just BE CAREFUL!

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:

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.
