Pros:dries up pimples and removes scars with persistent usage.
Cons:might sting a little if the powder comes in contact with yr lips.
might be drying for ppl with dry skin.
Bottom Line:i usually use the baking soda at the end of the day when i bath (where my skin the the oilest then..)..
i mixed it with water, SLATHER them on my face and leave it on for 2 min. i've got visible pores and realised that they are a lil enlarged when i SCRBBED the powder solution on my face.

after rinsing them off, 90% of the oil are washed off! then i would only use a drip or 2 of my TTO cleansing gel from TSB to wash off the dirt and baterial on my face.

*after 3 weeks of usage once per day, i realised that some of my acne marks were gone totally!! Such a cheap product that works amazingly!

*u would need a good moisturizer after the wash, no matter if u have dry or oily skin.i'm using neutrogena oil free spf 15 moisturizer.

Pros:Cheap !
Cons:abosolutely nothing !
Bottom Line:I'm 15 years old and I've been stuggling with acne sinse I was 9 years old ! I've tried Pro active and it didn't make my face any better, infact it made it worse! I've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on products that made my face worse all these years when I could have been using baking soda for 1.00 !
I highly recommend this.
I have very very sensitive skin and it makes your skin soft, rejuvinated and brings up your self confidence.
So trust me on this one and try it out, what are you waiting for?!

Pros:got rid of blackheads, evened out my complexion so well! so far its doing a great job of fading my post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and it makes my skin soft.
Cons:since i have been using it i haven't had to deal with any whiteheads or blackheads, however it seems to be drawing out those painful underground pimples, but i'm not positive its the baking soda doing that. also it burns at first, but that goes away
Bottom Line:i love it. it makes my skin soft and gives me a very even complexion. this is the clearest that my skin has been in almost 4 years!!!!!

Pros:Most DEFINITELY tightens skin and reduces pore size. I also noticed that it forced a large pimple on my chin to become flaky and this pimple is no longer swolen.
Cons:Somewhat removed the lustrous shine from my face. I could see where it could be drying.
Bottom Line:It's definitely worth a shot. I have only used this once so far and I plan on using it maybe twice a week as an exfoliator. I just recent started the Regimen recommended on this site, and my skin needs exfoliating. Like everyone else has said, it burns a little but it's worth it.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Lindsay has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:I started using baking soda as a face wash only three days ago. I mix about a quarter size of baking soda with water (in the shower) twice a day and my skin hasn't been this clear in at least a year!
Cons:Nothing :)
Bottom Line:My mom was about to make an appointment for me to try blue light therapy for my acne (which costs up to 2000 for total treatment) when I read this forum about baking soda. I was hesitent to try it, but found that my skin cleared almost completely! My skin is very sensitive and tends to flake and redden. Soap and other acne products irritated my skin where as baking soda did not. I am very happy!
