| Pros: | It is cheap, and if used properly, is effective without over-drying. |
| Cons: | None when used in moderation. |
| Bottom Line: | I wanted to switch to a milder, non-abrasive facial cleanser. Cetaphil was recommended to me, and it is great except that it doesn't take off makeup well at all. A friend suggested dashing a small bit of baking soda into my hand and mixing it with the cleanser. This works wonderfully! I don't scrub, and I don't leave this on as a mask. I just work the cleanser gently onto my face and neck for about 10-15 seconds and then rinse. I follow this up with a very light application of Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner. Since adding the baking soda and using this routine twice a day, my skin has cleared up beautifully and pretty much stayed that way. My face is also left with a smooth, soft texture, and is never dried out. |

| Pros: | It does clear up the face and make the skin smooth. Make sure you rub smoothly with water. |
| Cons: | Doesn't seem to work for some people. |
| Bottom Line: | If baking soda doesn't help with clearing your acne, you can always whiten your teeth by brushing with baking soda. Tastes salty, but the you will notice your teeth being whiter after a few days. If you can deal with the taste, swallow the alkaline water as you brush. Being alkaline is known to prevent and cure many diseases. |

| Pros: | OMG! i loved the new skin feel after I exfoliated! |
| Cons: | You must instantly have to add a moisterizer such as olive oil. |
| Bottom Line: | I have been using retine for a year! I want to stop using it and replace it with something else. Arm and Hammrt is going to be my new exfoiliant! Im only going to use it about every two weeks though! |

| Pros: | Keeps skin mostly clear. Seriously shrinks big ugly pimples that are ready to pop. |
| Cons: | Messes up your skin in the long run, making it more vulnerable to dryness and infection. |
| Bottom Line: | Used baking soda paste from July to November. It DOES control acne very well. Sometimes I'd get a nasty pimple if I didn't use it for a few days, but it nearly disappeared if I applied baking soda paste and left it on for ten minutes. Dries right up.
HOWEVER, now my skin is red, flaky almost raw in places. Apparently baking soda screws up the pH balance of your skin. Facial skin is slightly acidic, which helps protect it from infection and damage. Baking soda raises the pH balance of your skin, making it less acidic.
Probably doesn't sound like a big deal, especially when you're desperate to clear up bad acne. But I can say from experience that raising the pH level of your skin is a Very Bad Thing.
At most, I will probably use baking soda as a spot treatment. I will no longer use it as a cleanser. Too bad, because it did a good job controlling my acne.
Note: Some people "balance" the effect by using apple cider vinegar as a toner. I'm not prepared to experim |

| Pros: | Reduced Redness
Made Skin Feel Smoother
Dried Up Pimples |
| Cons: | Made Skin VERY Dry (You Must Moisturize after)
Stings and smells a bit
Messy |
| Bottom Line: | It's messy, it stings and it's a lot of work. But it gets the job done fast. I mixed some baking soda with warm water and a bit of honey. Made it into a thick paste by adding more baking soda. Applied it over my whole face for 10 min (Until it was dry) I rinsed off with warm water.
My skin feels better, and redness went away and overall it made me have more clearer looking skin.
Try it. |

| Pros: | skin feels softer, smoother and clearer, skin becomes less oily |
| Cons: | stings when you apply it the first time. and may cause redness(depends on your skin) but the redness will disappear in a short while. |
| Bottom Line: | try this. it's very good. it has no known side effects, cheap, easy to get, although it might sting a lil, it's very good. it does no harm to your skin and only makes it better. it definitely clears up unwanted acne AND acne marks. I had pretty bad acne marks on my face and it killed my confidence a lot but when i started using baking soda, i notice clearer skin and less acne break outs in just 4 days! unbelievable because normally my products which i use would not work but this certainly did work. heck, it's proven! :) |
