Aspirin
Water
Honey
Moisturizer
Facial cleanser

Step 4

Use a gentle, facial cleanser to wash your face. Rinse and pat dry.

Step 5

Apply the aspirin paste in a thin layer all over your face or just on the problem areas. Allow the paste to dry. This will take 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 6

Rinse the paste off of your face and dry your skin. To prevent drying, apply an oil-free moisturizer.

Warnings

  • Do not use this method if you are allergic to aspirin.

Tips

  • Not all home acne remedies work for everyone. An acne treatment that works for you may not work for another. If you are having difficulty treating acne cysts, contact a dermatologist for advice.
  • Use the aspirin paste method two to three times per week to help heal acne cysts.
