Yes! It does. You can make a mask out of two tablespoons honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Turn it into a paste then put it all over your face or just on your acne spots. Leave it on over night then wash your face with warm water in the morning. Then POOF no acne.

Honey is not a good acne remedy. The best remedies are: first, keep your skin very clean so that oxygen can get at it (remove layers of dead skin) and secondly, there are special oxygenating drugs such as oxy-5, which are effective. The only way to kill acne bacteria is with oxygen. It is an anaerobic bacterium.

Yes, the honey helps cleanse your face from bacteria. Bacteria is what mostly causes acne.

Here's how you can use honey:

Make sure your face is clean!

Apply to the infected area or your entire face.

Wait 15-20 minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm (not hot) water.

The skin has natural "flora". Flora is a combination of bacteria and yeast in very small colonies. Putting honey and sugar on acne would be a terrific way to "feed" bacteria, especially since most acne/pimples have pus in them and often break open. Try a dab of plain white-colored toothpaste (NOT whitening toothpastes though) like the original Crest. Apply it at night before bed. Wash it off in the morning. It typically will dry up a break out within a few days.
