Pros:it does really work.Just wash your face with cleanser before put the soda on your face
Cons:it tastes awful when it gets into my mouth when i make it as a mask
Bottom Line:i have suffering acne for 2 years and i have tried everything and none of them works. I guess i have spend maybe thousands for acne cure.
I began to use the baking soda after i read others reviews about the baking soda on their acne....and the results are amazing..i have used it for a week now...and i can see huge difference, the scars are fading and my acne problem are starting to stop. I recommend this to all acne sufferers out there as it does really works^^

Pros:very cheap and easy to use
Cons:i dont know about the rest of you but it didnt do much for me
Bottom Line:I used it for about a week, it cleared up my face the slitest bit, maybe thats just my skin, it would never hurt to try it anyways. I know of a greate home remidy for reducing the redness of spots and pimples and that is camomile tea. Dip some face wips in the tea and place it on your face for about 20 minutes, do that about 4 times a day and only after 1 day you will see results, half the redness would have disappeared!

Pros:started using after reading posts on this site. saw noticable improvement after 3 days. no new blemishes when i was used to getting on avg about 3 new cysts a week! also began to clear old scars. would def recommend it!
Cons:tastes bad if it gets in your mouth. i use it as a cleanser in the shower so makes more easily able to run in my mouth.
Bottom Line:you name it ive tried it. ive been suffering for acne for 6 years (im now 25) and this is the first time i can say im seeing a definite improvement in my skin just by switching to baking soda as my cleanser. i also use benzaclin and finacea (i alternate nights) but when i added baking soda in the mix it seemed to make a faster more drastic improvement. plus its so cheap it beats buying $50 cleanser elsewhere!

Pros:Incredibly effective at exfoliating dead skin cells, very inexpensive, helps prevent breakouts in the long run.
Cons:Can be irritating to your skin before your skin gets used to it. At first, exfoliating exposes actual skin underneath dead skin cells which can be a little disconcerting (acne marks are more obvious), but stick with it and you'll see amazing benefits
Bottom Line:Helped me turn the tide in my battle against acne. I went from getting 4-5 pimples on my face everyday to getting one or sometimes none and my face is still improving.

How to use it: Mix it with warm water to form a paste and GENTLY rub onto your face. Then wash off. Use every other day if possible.

What to expect:
The first few times you use it, wash the baking soda paste off almost immediately after you apply it (best to do this while in the shower) because it'll take your skin awhile to get used to it. Do this at night so the burning and redness will go away completely by the time you wake up.

After a few uses you can apply it and leave it on for about 30 minutes or as tolerated while it dries for more benefit

I think this mainly works by effectively exfoliating dead skins cells from the face (a major cause of clogged pores). Keep with it and you will see less breakouts and your skin will start to clear up beautifully in a few weeks.

Pros:very smooth tight clean skin immediately
Cons:actually burned my skin 'cause I left on for 20 min -- noticeably red like sunburn (have sensitive skin) but already calming after a few hours -- will not leave on next time
Bottom Line:skin feels incredibly clean -- almost internally clean -- exfoliated like crazy -- an amazing realization -- will continue use, but just wash with next time, not leave on like mask. CAN'T BEAT PRICE!!
