Pros:cheap, works better than ANYTHING I've ever tried
Cons:can sting around eyes or if left on long... BUT IT WORKS, PEOPLE!!!
Bottom Line:IF it dries out your skin, use extra virgin coconut oil afterwards sparingly. It won't clog poors or make acne worse, and your skin transforms! Seriously! And to think the CURE for acne on my face, neck and back was in my kitchen cabinet the whole time!! Argh! I wish I had known much, much sooner! :)

Pros:I was hesitant to write on this forum after only two days of using baking soda, but I just had to share the secret that these expensive skin care companies don't want you to know. I've been using Murad for about a year, and it didn't improve my skin
Cons:Absolutely no cons at all. I will write some later down the road if I encounter them. My only worry is that I hope it continues to work as well as it has.
Bottom Line:Bottom Line is this: I was really upset the first time I used baking soda, not because it made my skin worse, but because I hadn't discovered this earlier. Turns out I've been wasting $70-$100 a month instead of using 89 cents the best way I possibly could. My self esteem has risen by tons, and I've already noticed a difference in my social life. Try it, if nothing is working for you. Its the best 89 cents you can spend. Trust me.

Pros:This is cheap and works great.... ALSO... USE FUTUREBIOTICS for hair, skin, and nails. It's a vitamin. It provides all the daily essentials..... it's important to treat the internal problem as well as the external problem. I had severe acne....
Cons:and it works extremely well....
Bottom Line:Baking soda is a great topical treatment to dry out acne, but you need to treat both the inside and outside... try Futurebiotics hair, skin, and nails vitamin.... google it...

Pros:GREAT for cleanser and a smooth face. I have acne scars and oily skin. It seems to reduce the appearance of scars and controls the oil for a longer period of time!
Cons:Irritates a little so dont use it everyday if you have sensitive skin. Use it every 2 or 3 days...but its worth it really!
Bottom Line:Its cheap AND effective! Go out and TRY IT!!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:inexpensive, soft smooth skin, reduces oil
Cons:none
Bottom Line:Iive been looking for a more natural way to clean my skin. It tends to break out and is very oily. Therefore I will not use anything with oil or fragrance added. Love baking soda, wish I'd thought of it hundreds of dollars sooner! The more you water it down the less abrasive, whichI think is better. Try this!

Pros:AMAZING! Clears up skin, reduces redness/red marks, halts break outs, reduces oil, makes skin IMMEDIATELY look better than it did before
Cons:Burns a bit when left on for a while/when you first begin using it
Bottom Line:Go buy it! I decided to try the baking soda mask after reading these reviews and it really is as incredible as everyone says it is! I've pretty much completely stopped breaking out and my skin literally looks better and better everyday. A few nights a week (3-4 times) I first wash my face with an exfoliating cleanser, then mix the baking soda with a bit of water to form a sort of paste and then apply it like a mask and leave it on for 5-10 minutes then rinse off and apply toner and benzol peroxide. I am additionally taking 15 500mg pills of vitamin b5 per day (spaced out at breakfast, lunch and dinner). My skin is looking clearer than it has in months and months!
