I have mild Rosacea and I was a little leery of trying an aspirin mask even though I have known about the benefits for awhile now..BHA and aspirin are related so it seemed like a good deal for me since I use BHA around cycle time for pimples..What was really striking to me was how the pinkness in my face decreased after using this..BHA certainly isn't for everyone with Rosacea because it can irritate..I can only speak from my own personal experience and say that I saw clarity, refinement of pores, and immediate softness.

gotta try this. not to abrasive but it gets the job done. i have dry skin that is acne prone and this works wonders. just don't get it to close to your nostrils or it may make you sneeze! good luck, it's cheap and ultra effective!

Thank God I stumbled across this site and learned about this mask. It really is incredible. I crushed up about 6, added some of my Eucerin moisturizer, a bit of mineral water and applied it for about 6 minutes. I used it as a scrub before I rinsed to exfoliate. My skin feels fantastic. Could it be that I found a scrub and a mask inside an aspirin bottle?

This was a surprise! The first time I used it I was *wowed*- although I haven't had *quite* as good results since, but still better results than with practically any other mask! I reckon you should treat this mask with respect. I would NOT do it more than once a week, and will only use 3 aspirins- after all, it is medicine. I crush em with a rolling pin and mix with water and aloe vera gel- although works fine on own. Complexion is left very silky and radiant. I have to say I've not noticed it clearing any blemishes or shrinking my pores but I am a fan of radiance treatments and this is one of the best! EDIT: I don't use this anymore as my skin was freakin out. Guess my skin is too sensitive.

my skin comlpexion is generally oily around t-zone but dehydrated at the same time. i tried this last night after giving my blackheads some good squeeze. smashed up 8 of them, mixed with water and had them on for 10mins. i don't know if its my eyes playing a trick on me, but my pores seems smaller now. my face does feel/ look smoother as well...will try it again tonight. btw, i think 4 would be more than enough rather than 8 pcs.

so cheap and effective. i was on a skincare hunt for a long time and everything seemed to make my skin even worse. it was uneven (lots of dark spots), flaky, and every few days a few new red bumps would pop up (grrr!). everything i tried seemed to make my skin breakout. in comes the aspirin mask to the rescue! it leaves my skin clear and glowing and even, altho for me, results aren't quite immediate (it usually takes a day or so). as a scrub its wonderful, not too abrasive, but not puny either. i've used it twice so far and loved the results each time. esp the other nite, when i felt a breakout coming out ( you know what i mean), you're feeling your face and it starts to feel bumpy and irritated and painful...i used the mask...and voila, next morning, my skin was clear! amazing. my 10% bp cream couldn't even compare (esp cuz this mask doesn't leave my skin irritated and dry). its pure genious. and did i mention DIRT cheap?? 1000 generic aspirin for 10 bucks, for about 200 masks. thank you makeupalley! (how i use it: i crush about 6-7 uncoated aspirin in a bit of water to make a paste, and leave on my face for about 10 minutes. then i use a bit of a foaming face wash (alpha hydrox) and massage everything in, and rinse)

Sounds weird but it works! I don't usually make home-made masks coz the last time I tried one(mashed up carrots!) I swore I would never try another home-made mask. But this is very easy, not messy and effective!I use 4 tablets,and a dab of aloe vera gel, mash it up in a shot glass and apply. No water needed.It dries really fast too! My skin is definitely clearer..even though I'm PMSing! I think it's better than Mint Julep coz it's less drying to use in winter.

Very cool. I tried this one today 3 asprins crushed up in a bit of water with a little of any other face mask just to thicken it up a bit.

I thought it would make my skin dry because aspirin tastes a bit salty but i left it on for about 7 minutes then rinsed it off. Skin feels very smooth afterwards and it does appear to reduce redness and even out skin tone. Hey - its no certainly no worse than anything else on the market! I will try this one again for sure!

Seriously, this isn't for combo-dry skin. Dried out my T-zone terribly and accentuated fine lines. I admit I am overzealous and tend to overdo things, but I slowed down and did it weekly - saw no improvement at all (I have very few blemishes but I go ballistic). I find that it'd better to go gentle and treat the skin as a whole rather than spot treat or use strong masks.

I was skeptical when I first read about this mask in MUA but after reading the reviews I had to try it. After the first use, I saw my skin improve. It lightened and softened my skin and reduced blotchiness. After two uses I noticed that two scars on my face had noticeably lightened and the redness gone. I am combo/acne prone and since using this mask have had one or two mild breakouts which disappeared after applying a "spot" aspirin mask and applying a topical med. In two days they were completely gone. My skin is now free of blemishes (I had mild to moderate acne problems and apply the mask twice a week). I have been telling everybody I know to try it-the results are amazing. If you have acne or acne prone and not allergic to aspirin, give this mask a try. I agree, the best mask ever.

This works incredibly well. I have oily skin with visible pores and it tightens my pores, reduces blemishes. I am still working on the consistency, but just don't eat while you have it on because the aspirin will flake off as it's drying. UPDATE: I have experimented with different liquids other than water and am very happy with these alternatives (use one or more in your mixture): apple cider vinegar (purifier), pineapple or lemon juice, licorice extract (just a couple drops for whitening), plain yogurt (preferably with live cultures). Not using water lessens the flaking off of the aspirin powder.

It's pretty much dirt cheap and easy to make. Basically, let 5-6 Aspirins dissolve in a few drops of water, then mix it up. It made my skin smoother and brighter. Shrink my pores a bit. Best mask I ever used.

Update 03/01/04: It's a bit drying though. I wouldn't call it the best mask I ever tried. I like Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque better.

The best mask I have ever used. Can you believe it? Water and aspirin!!!!?? After all the $$ I've spent on fancy masks. Who would've thought. It made my skin so smooth and the blackheads on my nose are near extinct! Amazing.

Hmm...not sure about this one yet. Tried it for the first time last night and actually woke up with a couple of little whiteheads on my chin (which is unusual for me). Anyway, I have very oily skin and am hoping that this will make some kind of difference in my complexion. So, I will try it again in a week or so and then update to whether the whitehead problem is still happening or not. Oh, and when it starts drying and falling off everywhere, it made me sneeze like crazy!

This is also soo cheap also...I just bought a few bottles of asprin at the dollar store...and it does wonders for my skin. It does dry out my skin alittle but it clears up my skin like no other. Better than any acne meds i tried. I'm soo happi:)

This is one of the most beneficial masks I've used :) I bought a huge bottle from the dollar store and dumped the whole thing into my food processor - Then I transferred the aspirin powder back into the bottle it came in. Whenever I feel the need to use this mask, all I do is put a bit of powder in my hand, add a few drops of water and spread it over my face. It feels cooling and relaxing, and when I rince the mixture away my skin glows. This one is so much fun! :)

This is like a scrub/mask. It works wonderfully!!! My blemishes are less red and smaller, my skin is smooth, my blackheads gone, and I look great. The asprin can be tricky to mash up and put on; it sort of flakes off too. It is so cheap that you have to try it. The results will suprise you.

I am really impressed with the results of this mask. I have combination, acne-prone, sensitive skin. My face felt so smooth and refreshed after one treatment. I ground the pills in a coffee grinder, it makes it alot finer and less particules fall off.Update----quit using this, cause my oily skin to get extremly dehydrated.
