Nowadays, TikTok is the place to go to if you\u2019re looking for advice on just about anything – whether it be fashion solutions, DIY\u2019s, home decor or kitchen hacks. One user though, has gone above and beyond when she posted a video on the platform using an aspirin face mask to get rid of acne.<\/p>\n

TikTok account name @tellyourdogisayhello, Mallory Le, shares that using an aspirin mask cleared up her skin. She wrote, \u201cI didn\u2019t have to go on accutane again because of this trick.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her TikTok video, Le does an instructional on how to make the mask. He breaks down two aspirin tables and mixes it with a bit of water, then spreads the mixture on her face. She leaves the goo on for three minutes, before rinsing it off and patting her face dry with a clean towel. \u201cDo this every few days,\u201d she advised, while showing off her clear skin.<\/p>\n

Numerous people commented on the video raving about this skin hack. One wrote, \u201cI\u2019ve been doing this for years as a\u00a0spot treatment\u00a0and it\u2019s the only thing I\u2019ve found that will actually clear them overnight.\u201d \u201cI loveeee doing this,\u201d another follower commented.<\/p>\n

Aspirin belongs in a group of medications called salicylates. It stops production of viruses that cause fever, swelling, pain, and blood clots. It is usually taken in tablet form.<\/p>\n

Aspirin mask fans have voiced out online that one of the ingredients found in this medicine is a form of salicylic acid, which is actually found in most acne-fighting products. Assistant professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University, Jamie Alan, Pharm.D., Ph.D., says \u201cthey’re almost the same but not quite.\u201d She explains that aspirin actually contains acetylsalicylic acid, which is a synthetic form of salicylic acid but they are not entirely the same, nor do they work the same. \u201cAspirin is metabolized to salicylic acid but that happens in the liver, not the skin,\u201d adds Dr. Alan.<\/p>\n

Since there is \u201cno evidence\u201d to support that aspirin does fight acne when applied to the face, it is tough to recommend it as a \u201csafe and effective\u201d treatment, explained assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, Gary Goldenberg, M.D. Another thing he advised was to be aware that your skin could end up irritated and dry after using an aspirin mask. If you really insist on trying out the aspirin mask anyway, \u201cYou could try it, but make sure you apply a moisturizer right after in case there\u2019s irritation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shuai Xu, M.D., assistant professor of Dermatology at Northwestern Medicine pointed out that:<\/p>\n

\u201cAspirin\u2014either oral or topical\u2014is not FDA approved for acne. The evidence that it does anything\u2014in mask or topically\u2014for acne is really poor. Is there harm? Probably not. But, why risk it if it\u2019s unlikely to do anything?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For anybody struggling with pimples and acne, its just best to stick with other products that have been proven to be successful. Cleansers, exfoliating pads and spot treatments that contain actual salicylic acid \u201chas been used in many acne-fighting formulations,\u201d Dr. Goldenberg shares. \u201cIt helps to remove the superficial layer of the skin, opening pores and allowing comedones to pop. It also has antibacterial properties, killing the bacteria that clog pores and cause acne.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
