Pros:

Easy to find anywhere in the world, very cheap, highly effective

Cons:

Some may have to build a slight tolerance to it. For ultra sensitive skin I would add some honey to it.

I've used true Greek yogurt for 3 weeks now because I needed a lactic acid treatment for my non inflamed acne. I had just started the DKR and I know my skin was not ready for any type of peel or AHA lotion, MaMa and LacHydrin 5 are among the top. However I remembered that any milk product contains lactic acid. Just so happens I always have this ultra thick yogurt in the fridge. So one night I decided to do the mask and even the first time I felt a difference. I wouldn't say it burned but I was aware of my skin. Ever since then I rub about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt on my face at night after cleansing and then rinse off. This is getting my skin used to the lactic acid between masks. I'm working my way up to 2 or 3 masks a week. So far for the last month it's only been once a week. You will have some flaking so make sure you use a good exfoliator. I recommend honey and baking soda. For those who don't have access to or don't know about Greek yogurt, sour cream will work just as

Pros:

Exceptionally soothing and simple mask that can be used on sensitive, inflamed, or combination skin.

Cons:

Drippy -- use before a shower, and plan to sit still. Soothes and speeds healing of acne inflammation and product-related dryness, but does not dry out blemishes -- see below.

Straight from the refrigerator, a plain yogurt mask is one of the easiest, most calming face treatments I know of. Physically (and emotionally!) acne flare-ups leave me very sensitive, and yogurt consistently helps. I have never had bad reactions, even when applying on blemishes themselves -- seems to cool down redness and speed healing, though it does not dry them. For this reason it is best applied to blemishes on their way to healing. To dry emerging blemishes, I recommend spot-treating with a clay mask and using yogurt on the rest of your face. NOTE: use plain yogurt; sweetened yogurts contain all kinds of odd ingredients!
