Pros:left skin feeling less oily- skin feels a bit smoother in areas- seems to help some with hyperpigmentation as well
Cons:acne is still there- made skin red
Bottom Line:give it a shot you dont have anything to loose but your dreadfull acne! trust me i know how your feeling right now. i continuosly research acne blogs online hoping to find a miricle cure but i think the main thing to focus on is having patience. try not to stress out about your acne and do something fun with the girls for a night to get your mind off of it! -oh and give things time to work. if you use it for a week and see no results dont give up. it takes a while for your skin to adjust to new produtcs! :)

Pros:cheap. easy to get. it works but need patience.
Cons:sting but not so much in my case. leave my skin red for half a day.
Bottom Line:i used sodium bicarbonate occasionally.. like once in 3-4 weeks. i used it as mask. i try to be as gently as possible while applying to my face and removing from my face because sodium bicarbonate contains crystal particles that can damage skin texture (thats what i believe).it won't make skin perfect but it does help to reduce my acne and scar.

Pros:makes skin smooth and tight, eventually evens out complexion. dries up pimples.
Cons:a little messy
Bottom Line:very cheap. if you have a pimple that has just formed, wash your face, dry it, then wet that pimple alone and put the baking soda on it . Leave it on over-night. it will eventually bring the pus to the top, just as if it were about to burst.
. I know you shouldn't squeeze a pimple, but if you are tempted (like myself) squeeze it till it gets flat and blood comes out. wash face and put baking soda on it again for overnight. you will see how it dries it up quickly. I can even wear make-up over it and nobody notices.

Pros:CHEAP, WORKS!
Cons:BURNS! It burned like cfrazy the second time I used it ( I did it two days in a row) I will probably only do it 2-3 times a week but not on consecutive days.
Bottom Line:It works pretty well for my under the skin bumps they are clearing up after the first time of use. I also wash with black soap after and use clean and clear spot treatment (which did NOT work by itself before using the baking soda). I never had problem skin so i think I am just getting a mild case of adult acne but all of it is uder the skin (those suckers are hard to get)! Anyway TRY IT! You have nothing to lose but acne...or a dollar or two.

Pros:Very effective!
Cons:Turns face red for about 30 minutes- 1 hour. I use it as a daily morning/night scrub
Bottom Line:Works! Definitely. At least give it a try. I have super pale, sensitive skin and have had acne for about 14 years now--absolutely NOTHING i've used has worked this well. it cleared all of my existing acne and is lightening and fading my old scars more and more each day. Use it in combination with an apple cider vinegar toner and you'll never have another breakout. seriously. i've never ever been this clear! Even through the lady times when the hormones are usually crazy producing acne, i had maybe ONE small pimple; hardly remember it. doit. use it. be happy.

Pros:Helps clear reddness, and pimple appear less noticeable! Its a lot ceaper than acne products, and even works better than some of them.
Cons:A little reddness at first but it goes away. Dose not completly get rid of big pimples, but will dry them up.
Bottom Line:Try it! I mix some baking soda, with a little water so its like a paste. The apply to trouble spots for 10 minutes, rinse, and pat face dry.

Pros:Leaves skin smoothe,, really cheap acne fix, don't forget to moisturize afterwards!!
Cons:Can tingle a bit...taste disgusting don't put it near your mouth lol Will dry out skin so use moisturizer after!!
Bottom Line:I mix a teaspoon with my cleanser, sometimes I mix alot of baking soda and some water and make a mask. I'm black and dark skinned so redness isn't really an issue, nor do I have really bad acne I only get a pimple like once a month if that. However when I get them I get little black scars on my face. The bs helps make them less visible and and I actually was experiencing a breakout the first night I used bs and it took it away in 3days!!! I also noticed my pores look smaller , which is grrreeat since I don't use foundation or concealer etc. Oh Definately moisturize after using it!!!

Pros:Just washed it off, pores I was upset about before I applied it have shrunken considerably, though not completely gone. (Yet!)
Cons:Mild sensation when first applied... but I kinda liked it.
Bottom Line:I just washed this off my face a few minutes ago after being a first time user and leaving it on for 20 minutes. My face has suffered no redness, in fact I found a decrease in redness since I've removed it and my face looks like it has an almost matte finish.. well minus the blemishes! I found no difference in those small annoying little bumps most people have but my large inflamed acne has cooled down a bit.
:] excited to continue use!

Pros:Works GREAT for acne scars
Cons:Doesn't really help with acne, burns like h***
Bottom Line:I have a LOT of acne scars on my forehead and I noticed a big difference in acne scares. It burns really bad the first couple of times you use it, but I got use to it. Overall I'd recommend it for acne scars but not acne, cuz it didn't help me. I mixed it with a little hydrogen peroxide and an acne spot treatment with salicylic acid. Use it as a mask with a liquid or mix it with your face wash.
