Hmm.
No. I have applied highly active (30+) Manuka to my face before... It was a nice facemask and I felt like it may have smoothed the skin a little... but does it help with acne? No.

BEWARE
Honey is incredibly comedogenic (makes you break out to high heaven). Years ago I thought I had found the holy grail.. but I cannot express enough how bad this clogs your pores. I have had many estheticians, naturopath doctors, and chiropractors tell me the same (to my dismay at the time). Please don't stick this stuff on your skin. :C

Cons:
Made my entire face tight and red, very red.
Very messy.
I made a mask from honey and 2 mashed up aspirin tabs. I left it on for about fifteen then washed it off with warm water. Once I dried my face on a towel and looked in the mirror I saw that my entire face was bright red. After a minute or two it felt like my face was being stretched tightly. I don't know if the problem was in the honey or the aspirin but this was not successful at all!

Pros:
None

It made my acne worse unfortunately, despite all of the positive stories
I had such good hopes with honey. I read a lot of positive reviews, so I started using it, every night for some weeks. I would sleep with the honey on my face. I used organic honey. It didn't clear up my acne unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the results. It didn't make pimples go away faster and didn't reduce redness. It even made my acne worse, I got a lot of small, red and pus-filled pimples on my chin and upper lip. Also I'd still get big painful under the skin bumps (which would become visible in 2 days and would take some days to go away). Here's a picture of when I still used honey on my face (you can see the honey), but it doesn't show it that well, it looked worse in the mirror: [link edited out] removed] decided to stop using honey. I then also cut out all dairy from my diet (I read dairy can worsen or even cause acne) and reduced my suger intake dramatically (so no more Coke etc.), because I read suger also has a negative effect on acne. I also started desinfecting my skin with rubbing alcohol after I popped a pimple so I would prevent bacteria from spreading. I do use mineral foundation powder as make-up, cause I still have some tiny marks left. It's special mineral powder that claims to reduce acne. It doesn't clog pores (so it says and I believe it really doesn't, because even though I use the powder on my face everyday, I get very few new pimples now) My skin now looks like this (without make-up), it's almost completely clear, especially my chin, but my upper lip has also improved a lot (just one or two pimples when I took the pic): [link edited out] removed]

Pros:
-Tasted good
-Smelled sweet
Cons:
-Left skin even redder
-Did nothing for my scars or active breakouts
I did only use an at-home honey mask one time, so I may not be the best person to discuss it. However, the reason I used it only once was because my skin was left even redder than it already is from my acne scars. I do, though, have very sensitive skin, so that could be a contributing factor as to why it left my skin irritated. I have heard that it truly does work for many people, but it did not at all have the affect I was hoping for on me. If you have sensitive skin, I would not recommend this.
