Pros Exfoliates, Smoothed skin
Cons Didn't work, messy
Bottom line I mixed the baking soda with honey and applied it to my face for 45 minutes as I sat in the tub. It was a good thing I was in the tub because some dripped off as the baking soda started to work. In the end, it left my skin smooth, it was very relaxing and didn't hurt because of the honey, but it didn't tone down redness or clear my problem areas. I would recommend it for a weekly mask but not a solution to your acne problems.

Pros helps at first. cheap.
Cons Hassle and mess to make, doesn't clear acne, and feels funny as a mask.
Bottom line I used this product with dans regimen after i saw the great reviews it got on here. I tried it for at least 3 months but stopped because after a couple weeks it did not do anything for my acne.

I would not try this product again.

Pros get's rid of acne and problem bumps.
Cons none.
Bottom line I tried this after seeing it all over the internet. I even made up my own recipe. Just mix together baking soda and water to make a paste. Then add a few pinches of cocoa powder. Everyone else says that you're supposed to rub it on but I just patted it on and it only stung a little bit when I rinsed it off. Cheap and it works.

Pros Amazing natural exfoliator, Gets rid of scars and dark spots.
Cons None
Bottom line I use this on my face, body and hair. All who have had drying problems you must balance the PH on your skin. A 1 to 1 mixture of Apple cider Vinegar to water on a cotton ball should be applied to your face right after the baking soda wash. Let it sink in and then apply a thin layer of Virgin Cocinut Oil which also has anti-bacterial/fungal properties and your skin will be amazing!!!

Pros IT WORKED FOR ME!!!!!!!
Cons it stings (but who cares)
Bottom line i was desperate. i have been dealing with acne for 10 years. i put it in my shampoo bc ur hair can trigger acne. also shampoo w ur head tilted back....dont let it run down ur face when u rinse the shampoo off ur head. try it as a scrub for 2-3 minutes on ur face or use as a mask for 10 minutes.

whats worse? 10 minutes of a slight burn or the embarassment of acne?

my current acne dried up n vanished in 3 days n the red scars are fading fast

i tried it and it works for me...so happy and excited for the first time TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros Its all natural. And cheap too!
Cons Just a little burning, but I have super sensitive skin so I expect it.
Bottom line I've been reading so many good things about using baking soda so I thought I would give it a try. It's to early for me to tell how well it will work but I have faith! I used it last night and this morning mixed in with my Mary Kay deep cleansert and then I used it tonight as a paste with water. It burned a little especially on my lower jaw where I am broken out, but it's ok now. I applied mosturizer afterwards but no salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide as usual, I dont want to mix the two. I'm hoping to see some good results when I wake up in the morning! I will keep posting!

Pros It made my skin smooth, and got rid of breakouts the first week I used it
Cons Stings, redness, dryness, caused me to really breakout
Bottom line When I first started using it it seemed like I finally found the solution to my acne problems. My skin was the smoothest it had ever been and the pimples I started faded really fast. I felt like a million bucks. I used it every night. I would make a paste with it and rub on my face for about a minute and rinse it off. I was a little careless with it though. I found I had not completely rinsed it off some mornings. Also, at this time I began taking vitamin D, (2000 iu). Then the second week rolled around. I noticed my skin was starting to get bumpy around my temples and on my forehead. Initially I did not think much of, but then It started to really breakout. It has been the worse breakout I have had in a long. Usually, I breakout with one our two pimples in areas, but now I breakout in clusters of small pimples that. These areas have become very rough and blotchy. I have stopped using the baking but not the vitamin D. It seems like it is getting a little better.
