Pros:-seems to exfoliate the skin well.
-doesn't seem to leave a vicious burn mark on my face like toothpaste even though it burns.
-exfoliates well when used properly.
Cons:-burning sensation
-kind of annoying to mix it with water, but whatever it works.
Bottom Line:Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate is a salt everyone. Salt naturally exfoliates the skin although it can leave a red mark on your face that is only temporary for a few hours. If you swim in the ocean, you'd noticed that the salt water naturally exfoliates your skin as well and kills all the bacteria on your face that is causing your acne. If you want to think of it this way, using baking soda is pretty much like swimming in the ocean with relatively the same benefits. Its a really cheap yet effective tool for acne, and it 100% beats any acne product that exfoliates the skin that is 10 times the cost of this. Because it is also pure and not something man-made, there are no chemicals either which is a good sign for your body. This is my only first time using this so I will have to see after a few more trials how well this works. But after the first trial, you can definetly notice how well exfoliated your skin feels.

Pros:It made my skin really smooth and took all the redness out with the first use.
Cons:I had to rinse forever because there were little granules of baking soda left everywhere.
Bottom Line:It was my first time using the mask and I'm extremely amazed with the results. I spent all this time and money buying heavy duty products when this little remedy was in my house all along. I'm extremely impressed and hope I keep getting great results.

Pros:Brings out whiteheads, smoothes skin
Cons:Burning sensation (but it goes away)
Bottom Line:I used to have problem free skin...When I went away for college (Tallahasse, FL), my skin did not agree with the water. Since then, I've been fighting pimples here and there...I started using the baking soda and water mixture about 1 week ago, and it's working! I use it every other day, because I leaned quickly that the burning only gets worse if used too often...Also, I've found that once the white heads start to surface, they may leave blemishes after you pop them...TRY THIS: Crack open an egg! Spread the yolk of the egg all over your face...The yolk helps to draw out oil and helps heal blemishes...So far, so good!!!

Pros:Really clears up skin quickly
Cons:Slightly messy to apply; dries out skin a little (but moisturizer fixes it)
Bottom Line:I use baking soda mixed with water as a scrub daily and the difference in my skin is amazing. It's really reduced the number of pimples I see - it even reduced the number during my monthly period-related breakout, which is nothing short of miraculous. It doesn't get rid of every single pimple, so I'm combining it with a tea tree oil gel which I spot treat with.
