I want to get rid of acne and I heard dissolving asprin in water and adding a bit of honey to make it into a paste, and spreading it on your acne can help get rid of it. I also heard it has similar ingrediants they use in Pro Active. I don't have asprin, so what else can I use as a subsitute?

my son has been using pine tar soap for a over two months now. it has really helped clear it up. he had it really bad. huge sores on his face, back and some on his arms and chest. you can get it thru your pharmacy. it costs about $4 a bar and a bar can last 3-4 wks. His skin is 100 percent clearer now

The reason aspirian is mentioned is because it is also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). ASA is also found in tubes of zit craem.
There are 2 main meds you can buy for zits: benzoyl peroxide and ASA. ASA is generally considered stronger. Just look for an acne cream that contains it, and skip the honey/aspirin thing.
