Don't do it
Read all the reviews on here with high hopes, only to be disappointed. I mixed 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of honey and used it as a mask. First minute I noticed more redness than before and felt a burning. I had tested it on my hand beforehand and had no reaction, but my face was a different story. It got red and irritated and I almost had a nervous breakdown but realized it was just an allergic reaction and it soon faded with time. I have sensitive oily skin, and I warn those who try it with extreme caution.

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.

Cons:
It's sticky, sticks to your pillow, your hair, it's a mess
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:
-moisturizing
-glowing skin
Cons:
-broke out in cysts
Purchased Manuka Honey, which is supposedly much more effective in terms of anti-bacterial properties compared to regular honey. I globbed some on a whitehead as a spot treatment and the following night I had a cyst brewing up beside spot I treated. I normally just get the odd whitehead, so that was really weird for me. Then I started to spot treat the new cyst with the honey overnight, then the following night right beside that new cyst I had another ONE! It couldn't have been anything else because I stopped using manuka now and don't have problems.

Pros:
Nothing except felt nice to put it on
Cons:
Too bad im allergic to honey topically.. :(
Warning: Test out a small area on your face or your hand. Didnt know i had an allergy to honey topically (I have no prob eating honey). I even used organic 100% natural honey but within a few minutes, started to feel itchy and red bumps appeared all over my face ... :( booo... But if your not allergic, it sounds like a miracle! But rmb to try it out on your hand first

Pros:
cleans the face.
Makes it smooth and soft
smooth the pores too
Cons:
-a bit redness
-hard to clean
-dont put on big or too many pimples or areas where pimples gonna come
-acne face always bring pimples on face so if the honey is kept on face before the pimple is formed then the pimple will become a bump and gets bigger and bigger for a weak.cause this closes the pores on skin....and u dont know when the pimple comes or where it will come.....so dont use on pimple face

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.
