Christian, British Columbia Jun 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: There are many pros to this alternative (Which shouldn't be called an alternative but rather a treatment on its own). Redness has really slowly "crept" away. Blackheads faded. Pimples halting. Beautiful skin. Excellent exfoliant. Cheap. Cons: Sorta stings your face if you are not used to it. Salty, don't get it around your mouth line. Bottom Line: This was interesting, I must admit. My face is extremely severe, cysts rose to pickers acne to blackheads and white papules, you name it. I had it. This is miraculous. I tried ProActive, Clean and CLear, Neutragena, AcneFree, you name it. I used them for a good 4 months at a itme, just to have my face half clear. I used this product with Apple Cidar vinegar to even out the PH value of the product on my skin. My face is now almost clear. I use this solution in small amounts and I'm gradually getting to use a mask in about a week. I use this one to two times daily, depending on how oily my face is. I ingest Apple Cidar Vinegar and put some on my face (beware, You'll smell like sock, be careful). The solution is diluted, and i'm SLOWLY and GRADUALLY going to more potent solutions via water. For TREATMENT I use Green Tea Extract as a spritz on my face with water. For Moisturizer, I have not found one yet. My intake of water is drastically improved to 6 glasses per day. Getthatbloodpumping! Recommended: Yes Usage: Christian has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 1.32 Acne severity: severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Kay, Dallas, TX Jun 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It cleared up my breakout and my forehead, fading out my blackheads, and cleaned deeply. I was looking for an alternative and found this to product to be extremely helpful and effective. Cons: Nothing, I didn't have problems. Even though it's drying, I use a spritz of water, lavender oil, tea tree oil, grapeseed oil for moisturizing. Bottom Line: IT.WORKS. Works fast! I use it 2x's a day. My breakouts are minimal now. I developed a red rash on my face and I started using baking soda and it dried up the pimples as well as the redness. I don't need astringent afterward either. Over the years I've been to dermatologists, have wasted $$$$$ on Neutrogena, Oxyclean, Clean & Clear products, and none of them made my skin look lighter, brighter, cleaner and clearer than good old fashioned baking soda. I threw away all of my C&C products. For me, baking soda works 100% better. Folks don't believe the hype from these products because they're ineffective. BAKING SODA TRULY WORKS!

Corina, Atlanta, GA Jun 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap. Scar Treatment. Acne treatment. Bottom Line: I have finally tried a product that works and I can’t be happier!!! The sad thing is that it's the cheapest product that I have ever purchased for my face and has worked better then any of the high end items. I'm in my thirties and I've been having issues with acne all of a sudden for like a year. I've used products such as Shiseido, Clinique, Clarins, Lancome and my acne got worse at times. I’ve been to the dermatologist and was prescribed medication and creams which I used and saw results temporally but the acne would soon return. I was buying a new acne product once a week which was beginning to be very costly. At first I was skeptical about trying baking soda because I’ve used it once while much younger and I felt a stinging sensation and never used it again. So I tried it again last week and by far this is the best solution for acne. I am completely amazed!!! My acne is disappearing and my scars from previous acne are already fading. I’m currently using it everyday Recommended: Yes Usage: Corina has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 0.36 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Kyler, Danbury, CT Jun 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Made skin extremely smooth. Reduced inperfections on nose to almost none. Added a slight glow to face. Cons: Skin developed a tolerance. When I ran out, after a week of not using it, my skin returened to how it usually felt before the baking soda. Bottom Line: I happened to have baking soda that I never used. I heard of it as an exfoliator. My face didn't have acne, but it did have little annoying bumps. I mixed two pinches in with a pump of face wash and scrubbed. I did this for the next two days, and my skin felt great. Recommended: Yes Usage: Kyler has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 1.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful?

Tracy, Orlando, FL May 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap and also makes skin nice and smooth Cons: Slight burning and may dry out skin just a little bit Bottom Line: Baking soda is an excellent way to get rid of acne. I have tried different acne medication like Clean & Clear and Neutrogena and there is no comparison. I will continue to use this product because it really works! Recommended: Yes Usage: Tracy has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 0.50 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Portia, Atlanta, GA May 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I love it, my skin feels great! I put it in an old cinnamon spice jar so I can shake it into my hand anytime I wash my face. Just make sure you recap it and don't use a season salt jar unless you want your face to smell like that! Cons: Don't leave it on for too long or it will burn. You can take a break for a couple of days if you overdo it, otherwise just exfoliate and rinse. I swear by it, so just consider this con a warning label :) Bottom Line: I started using baking soda when a friend recommended it a couple of years ago. I had really bad acne for about 10 years and now it's pretty much gone. I just wish I had figured this out before I spent a bunch of money on other products that just made it worse or didn't work at all. I highly recommend it, just take it easy at first. You can make it into a paste and leave it on for a couple of minutes, but you can also gently exfoliate with it and wash it off immediately, at least until your skin gets used to it or as a daily regimen, depends on your skin. Thing is, baking soda has an alkalinity of about 8.5, so just like a weak acid, it can burn if left on for too long.

Anonymous, Tx May 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Acne scars reduced a lot within the first application. And within a month my face is almost clear of all acne scars. Does not dry face if you put some kind of oil on your face afterwords like olive oil, but after a week or two you wouldn 't need to. Cons: none. Very happy at having discovered it Bottom Line: Seriously try it, you have nothing to love except scars. I am so happy now with how clear my skin looks, If i can call a product magical which reduces scars overnight, this would be it. I use it everyday as scrub, but plan on reducing the application in a few days to once every three days, because my skin has really cleared up, and i want the skin to get its natural oil and lusture back.

Me, Louisiana May 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: skin seems to be tighter, pores r smaller in T zone ( which is my oily area) blackheads on nose r less noticable. skin feels soft... very affordable Cons: none so far. ... I never experienced burning at all, but I only made a paste with water, and after washing makeup off with face cleaner, applied the paste, gently rubed in circles and rinsed off.. Bottom Line: If u have oily skin, like me - especially around T zone - it seems to be helping ALOT... my pores seem to be reduced.. I never apply moisturizer on T-zone, only on my neck and cheeks.. and that part isnt even drying out... My face is really smooth..... I am really impressed with this so far. and I am just wondering, WHY DIDNT I COME ACROSS THIS INFORMATION SOONER.! so i could have tried it as a teenager...
