A member asked:

Could honey and cinnamon really works for pimples?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: These "pop" remedies are cruel internet pranks. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician. Acne can't be cured but will eventually remit on its own. Until then, you must manage it as a chronic illness.
