Sorry, honey doesn't work, sugar based. There are so many websites out there that claim to cure acne. Try this one;

Answer 8

I heard somewhere that honey does work...but I wouldn't be so sure haha. If you wanna get rid of pimples, you should wash you face like 2-3 times a day with an oil-free facial wash and apply some cream with benzoyl peroxide after you wash your face. You can buy these things at pretty much any store and its like 5 bucks each.

Answer 9

yes it multiplies them

Answer 10

Okay, I know that honey has been used as an antibiotic for centuries by different societies, including the Egyptians, but I don't think that it would work on pimples.  I think they specifically used it on cuts (which actually does work).

Your best bet would be to use distilled water, some sea salt - preferably from Hawaii - and baking soda, mix all 3 in equal parts, and spray that on your face.  I know it sounds like I'm making this up, but baking soda is a natural antibiotic and cleanser, and the Hawaiian clay salt has properties that naturally dry up facial oils that cause acne.

Good luck!  

Answer 11

While it does contain a whole assortment of trace elements, honey is basically liquid mix of various sugars.  You'd be far better off with a proprietary face wash, whether that be one of the big pharmaceutical brands or something from your local health store.  The only thing honey is likely to do is attract insects.

Answer 12

No, pimples is a skin problem

Answer 13

The best solution is ProActive by Neutrogena. It works really well! But to prevent pimples, take a warm wash cloth, wring it out, and put it over your face for a minute. Then use that same cloth and scrub your face (without soap) till it turns pinkish red. Scrub especially hard between your eyebrows, the two sides of your nose, and right under your lower lip. How it works is the warm towel will open up your pores and scrubbing it will take out all the bacteria. Do this EVERY NIGHT!! Also, you can try using Neutrogena's Wave or Acne Wash. Use these every night too! I promise you this works. I haven't gotten one pimple since I started doing this and using these products.

Answer 14

I know of face masks that have honey in them, but they are meant for moisturizing. If you pimple is red visine will actually make the red go away, just as it does with you eyes. I've found that Burt's Bees wax lip balm helps with my pimples. I put it on at night before bed. It reduces the size and if you pimple is dry helps moisturize so it doesn't look dry and flaky.

Answer 15

Honey doesn't work, but I will tell you what does.  I suffered with acne terribly since high school and only recently found my cure. I had tried acne creams and face washes, nothing worked.

I had the epiphany after seeing a Dove soap commercial that said "It wont dry your face like soap"  I started washing my face once in the morning and once before bed with a hot washcloth and regular bar soap.  Don't scrub really hard until its mostly healed because you dont want to irritate it.  I had scars and red blotches on my face.  But now- I have perfectly clear skin.  So simple!
