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! :)

Pros:it worked immediately for me!!!
Cons:taste bad but its worth it...try mixing it with something like lemon water or just take it and get it over with :)
Bottom Line:The promblem is my body is too acidic. So i figured to really get the acne to go away, i needed to take something to alkaline my body. I even prayed for the Lord the help me cause i have struggled for years with my skin. I started taking baking soda (1/4 of a teaspoon...i take a little more but i would start out with a fourth) every night and within 2 days my skin was almost completely healed and felt smoother than ever. Try it and if your pregnant or have high blood pressure than i would check with my doctor b/c of salt content.

Pros:Helps reduce size and redness of cystic acne, leaves skin soft, makes skin matte looking, when applying makeup after using makeup stays on better and looks great
Cons:Stings, taste horrible, can over dry, flakes off everywhere if you happen to move your face at all while it is on
Bottom Line:I mix baking soda and a cheap sea salt (mortan's) into a thick paste and let it sit on my face for about 10-15 minutes. It really stings where the cysts are but everywhere else is ok. I rinse it off with warm water while rubbing it in a circular motion to scrub off any dead skin and once it is off my skin feels great! I have had cystic acne for years and have tried all kinds of topical medications (over-the-counter and prescribed) as well as numerous prescriptions including accutane and nothing has been this safe and effective! It helps with current flare ups as well as reducing the coloration of my scars. Give it a try, it will help. If your skin gets irritated make a thinner paste (more water) or if you feel it is not helping try a thicker paste (less water). Don't forget to use an oil free moisturizer after you remove the face, it can really really make your skin dry if you don't.
