Pros:

* Actually works pretty well
* Evens out skin tone

Cons:

* Feels a bit sticky on your face (may or may not bother you)
* Runs just a bit

I've been using a honey mask (honey and a bit of cinnamon) for about 5 days now. I leave it on for about 15-20 minutes. After about the second or third day, I started noticing results. And slowly, my acne is starting to go away. I think my scars are fading a bit as well. I highly recommend trying this! Tip: Melting the honey destroys its healing properties. I usually use this mask after getting out of the shower, when my pores are opened and my skin has been in the hot water. Then you can just use the honey at room temperature.

Pros:

It smells delicious, I see immediate results, it reduces my spots, it is easy to apply, edible, makes my skin feel beautiful, makes my skin glow and smooth, its something I will use much more in future, reduces redness of the pimple/s, easy to find and buy, can be mixed with other benefiting ingredients for the skin

Cons:

can get messy when applying & so far i haven't seen any blackheads lift yet from my nose but we'll see when I try mixing sugar in the honey to make a honey scrub.

I did extensive research into the benefits for the skin using honey for pimples and I'am very grateful to come across this remedy. I make my own honey mask and buy the PURE honey. I drink plenty of green tea and mix the contents of the left over green tea bag into the honey too. Since I don't have a microwave , I add some hot water or left over green tea into the mixture to make it thinner and if I have it, a little bit of lemon juice. I mix it and apply to all over my face. I use to suffer from severe acne as of 13 years old and I am now 17 and my acne has definitely toned down but I still get single pimples over my forehead and chin and blackheads all over my nose. Ive found this is helping so far together with my normal skin care routine and my skin just glows! I leave the mask on for around 30 minutes then simply rinse off and pat dry. Give it a go! I'm finding its benefiting me a lot so far. I just cant wait to see if it helps reduce my bad scarring on my forehead. xxx

GREAT but ....
I've personally used raw honey as a cleanser/mask for my sensitive and acne prone skin sooo many times. (Make sure that if you try this method, get raw or pure honey) and it helped clear up my forehead acne and clogged pores pretty well, but over time ive noticed i developed an acne/rash type thing on the sides of my cheeks and odd areas on my face where i typically never break out. Although this is a great way to heal acne naturally, i do think you should watch out if you have sensitive skin like me.

Pros:

-95% clear skin!!! :D I'm too stoked
-Acne scars are going away
-I can do other stuff while it's on
-No more oily skin
-Even skin tone
-I got some compliments on my skin. That almost never happens :]
-Tastes good. Haha
-Works in conjunction with Differin

Cons:

-Sticky
-If I don't use it overnight, every night I wake up to new papules
-"High-maintanence" see above

I love honey! Currently I'm using organize Clover honey. I'm going to bump up to organic, raw Manuka honey soon in hopes of getting 99.9% clear acne, scar free skin. I'll do a review on that after using it for a few months. How I use it: -I mix honey, a little sugar, and a little lemon juice -I wash my face with a gentle cleanser -Apply the mix and then apply strips of tissue or paper towel so it won't get all over the place while I sleep -Wake up in the morning, remove strips, and I wash it off and apply Differin and jojoba oil

Pros:

gentle
smells good
easy
cheap

Cons:

did not get rid of the pimple

I used natural honey as a spot treatment. (put a little warm saltwater on the zit to dry it up then a dab of honey on it overnight) First of all...I'd tried to (stupidly, haha) pop it before because I saw some puss. Nothing came out, but I didn't want to wash my face with anything harsh, so I decided to try honey because I needed it gone fast. I heard this was supposed to be an overnight zit zapper. However, when I woke up the next morning, it was even redder and worse. BUT! Even though it didn't get rid of the zit, it brought the bacteria/oil/puss to the surface, so I barely had to touch it to get all of that nasty stuff out. Bottom line, it was a great, natural way to bring everything to the top, but it didn't quite cure it.

try it
I have a bunch of little white bumps on my face that you can see when I turn my head towards the light and they're horrible. I think they're whiteheads. Anyway so I put some honey on my face andleave it on for half an hour, then massage it off with water and you can feel the particles in yourfingers! My whiteheads are basically gone and its been 3 days. I also use nutmeg and honey on acne scars.

Pros:

-Got rid of my acne
-Decreased my scar appearance
-Skin is super soft
-Natural Glow
-Smells good

Cons:

-Sticky

I've tried every chemical treatment on the planet and nothing every worked for me, until I made this honey mask. I found a recipe for honey, cinnamon, eggnog, and lemon juice. This combination on my skin has worked a miracle. My acne is now nonexistent and my deep scars are getting smaller and smaller by the minute. I leave the mask on for 20 minutes every other night. Now that my acne is gone I'm going to cut that down and add more natural remedies to my skin care regime.

Pros:

Lightens dark spots due to previous acne. Gives your face that youthful and radiant glow. And leaves it amazingly smooth!

Cons:

Nothing.

The only time I'd get pimples back then was before getting my monthly period. And those pimples were light and they were never cystic. But when I suddenly got an acne nodule on my chin and on my cheeks, I got all worried right away. By the way, my daily and nightly regimen are very simple: Massage Dove's Pink Beauty Bar and then Olay's Active Hydrating Cream in the morning, Olay's Night Firming Cream before going to sleep; it works great on my skin. And this was before my acne nodule breakout. But anyway, I actually never tried any acne products on my face because I know it is highly sensitive. The only creams that touch my face are Olay's creams and Dover's Pink Beauty Bar, as mentioned above, and they work very well for me. So when I heard of honey and its antibacterial properties and all of the good reviews, I decided to give it a try. So my daily and nightly routine now is: I massage Dove's Pink Beauty Bar, wash it off with warm water, gently pat myself dry and put honey straight from the bottle to my face and massage it for a good five minutes. I leave it on for 15-20 minutes, wash it off again, and then apply my cream. I actually did not have any high expectations simply because I didn't want to be disappointed. However, the results after the first use did enlighten me. My dark spots became so much lighter. Though, I don't think honey prevents pimples. I believe it just helps you treat the damage your previous pimples have done. I've been using this for three nights and two days now and I'm quite delighted so far with the results!

Pros:

-inexpensive
-moisturizing
-natural

Cons:

-sticky
-itchy
-redness after application

I can honestly say that honey masks are beneficial. They take the pain out of cystic pimples better than anything else I've tried. They remove blackheads better than anything else I've tried. Also, my skin is super soft after a honey mask. I mix a little cinnamon and lemon juice to mine. Adding a liquid makes it easier to apply. Cranberry juice works well, too. I like to paint it on with a soft make up brush. It stings a bit, even without the lemon, and can get pretty itchy. I usually leave mine on for 10-15 minutes. Any longer than that and my face is as red as a beet. (The redness does seem to dissipate within a few hours.)
