Cinnamon is rather strong and not suitable for sensitive skin. Have you tried mungbean? It works for blemishes but again, I have had ladies reacting to it. You may like to read my post here:

I have eczema I tried the honey and cinnamon in equal parts but no nutmeg it worked well for the frist few day but I realized that I had a terrible reaction later on as all the red splochies became dark and wont go away and my face has been burnt by the cinnamon. Initially I used too much cinnamon but I think that I may need to use it every other day I say this because I use it on my back and the light areas have become darker but my chest, breasts, neck and face have dark splotches much darker than my dark skin tone. I also drink the honey and cinnamon as a weight loss tea before bed and half an hour before breakfast. The fact is Cinnamon and honey is good for many things and has helped with my asthma so I know I only have a skin reaction. What other DIY could I use because of my eczema even Avenno bath soaps are too much for my skin at times.

Both cinnamon and nutmeg can burn the skin and hence, not suitable for those with sensitive skin. But I did have some ladies reporting skin irritation due to the mungbean. [...]
