| 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. |

| Pros: | Clear Skin, soft, blackheads started to dissipate quickly, reduction in oil and pimples. |
| Cons: | Stings a little but what acne treatment doesn't? |
| Bottom Line: | It is so amazing! I steam my face, adding in a few green tea leaves, then use the baking soda (that way it can get into the opened pores and break it up, then close them.) then I rinse it off, rinse with cold water, then I apply a honey mask for 15 minutes after that...it takes me 30 minutes to do all of this but if you do it once a week I promise your skin will do amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Pros: | Cuts down on redness and size of pimples. But you should leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Try a test patch near your nose were the skin is sensitive and wait 30 minutes to make sure your skin can handle it. It does cause a mild burning sensation. |
| Cons: | The burning feeling on your skin. It is best to do this mask at the end of the day so any redness and tightness can clear by morning. |
| Bottom Line: | Will work for most lighter skin tones. Darker skinned people should go with a honey mask for 30 minutes 3 times a week. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Adam has used this item for about a year. |

| Pros: | cleans deep down clogged pores, makes my skin really really soft and smooth after use (depending on how you would apply it) |
| Cons: | not much cons so far, i've only started using it and actually liking its results.. but it tastes ewww when some got to my mouth while rinsing xD |
| Bottom Line: | the results depend on how each and everyone of us use this. I used mine with oil control facial wash, and a pore minimizing facial wash.. but, idk.. I bet the result would be awesome no matter how you would clean your face with baking soda.
(4 smileys because I have just started using baking soda) |
