Hayden, LaCrosse Aug 26th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Makes skin feel fresh, gets rid of oil on face, makes pores feel tighter, makes acne scars less-noticable. Cons: Stings/burns face the first couple times, may irritate face the first time you use it, bad taste. Bottom Line: Mix it with water to make a scrub and wet your face first, then scrub your face with the baking soda mixture. Wait until it dries on your face[you will feel your pores tighter and your face will probably be tingly/stinging], rinse it off with warm water, pat dry with a towel, then splash cold water on your face to close your pores a bit more. That's what I do and I saw results the first few days. Do not expect to see results after the first day if your acne is more severe, but your face will feel a lot better, trust me.

ELALOVE, Riverside, CA Aug 20th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: BEST PRODUCT I'VE EVER USED: Clear Skin, Tighter Pores, Smoother & Softer complexion, no acne (blackheads, whiteheads, pimples), daily oil control... IT'S AMAZING! Cons: overuse causes dryness without a good moisturizer or face wash. Bottom Line: My routine is done after I take my shower when my face is oiliest from all the products I use in my hair. 1. I Wet my face and put about a tablespoon of Baking Soda in my hand then scrub in small circles all over. I give it a good massage to allow the Baking Soda to exfoliate my skin. 2. I then rinse off the Baking Soda using my regular daily face wash. I don't have major acne, but I do breakout when triggered, i.e., stress, too much oil, menstruation cycle. So I use a simple Neutrogena wash which is only medicated 0.5% salicylic acid. 3. After the rinsing & drying off, I use a cut lime and rub a thin layer of the juice on my skin. I use it like an astringent. 4. After the lime juice has dried, I use my oil-free moisturizer and then apply my makeup. OVERALL, I'M AMAZED! I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON SKIN PRODUCTS I WISH I HAD FOUND THIS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN I WAS SUFFERING FROM ACNE. THE BEST PRODUCT I'VE COME ACROSS AND WHO KNEW IT WAS JUST IN MY HOUSE THE Recommended: Yes Usage: ELALOVE has used this item for about a week.

Anonymous, Atl, GA Aug 20th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: After just two uses my skin feels incredibly smooth and my blackheads are truly fading. Dead skin is peeling off easily. This is amazing. I'm so happy! :-) Lol, I've tried just about everything. My acne days may finally be over. Please try it. Cons: It stings/burns in the beginning. You may feel like you're making matters worse but within about 5 minutes the stinging will go away. Bottom Line: Bottom line is I beg of you to try it, lol. I know first hand how frustrating acne can be. I've tried one product after another and I've never gotten such quick or satisfactory results. I'm going to continue drinking plenty water and eating right to prevent breakouts but I officially swear to the use of Baking Soda to clear it up if any do occur. I'm 19, african-american, and have medium skin. If it can work for me it can work for you. I recommend this product to everyone. Don't over-do it, use it sparingly and you will see results. I recommend once a day or once every other day depending on the severity. My acne is moderate, with more blackheads than anything. But soon I'll be acne and blackhead free. Do yourself a favor, if you've tried everything there is out there, give this a shot. You will see a difference. Arm & Hammer would be the best brand to purchase.

Tracey, AR Aug 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Soft skin, clearing of acne. reducing lines on face. Not a lot of chemicals. No smells of chemicals. Cons: Not easily applicable, does burn, esp. around eyes. Taste bad. Bottom Line: Have acne problems worst in older yrs. Tried eveything I could think of. Been using BS for3 week, husband noticed softer and smooth skin. He noticed acne disappearing. Co-workers noticed same thing. I do it at night. My hands are also softer, nails looking pretty. Recommended: Yes Usage: Tracey has used this item for a few weeks.

Natasha, Socal, USA Aug 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: faded red scars on my forehead and chin, which is the main reason i tried this, dissolved blackheads, dried out pimples cheap! Cons: burned like hell, but i think it'll get better after a few uses Bottom Line: i've had acne since january, and i know it's not long, but who likes acne right? i only got acne because i have oily skin and i used to have straight bangs, and my hair made me break out. i tried numerous cleansers from Neutrogena (which worked pretty well but has soo many chemicals) and AcneFree clear skin set (which made me break out everywhere) my skin already feels soo much smoother than it has before. when i made the baking soda and water thing, you put one part baking soda and two parts water, which is good to start out with. it stung. STUNG. especially around the nose, where i had little tiny pimples and i guess my skin was extremely damaged. you wait until the mask has dried, and then rinse it off with warm water. i also recently started drinking green tea, which is helping, only one cup a day goes a long way. definitely recommend this to anyone with acne.

TJ, AR Aug 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap!!! and so far easy to use. Cons: A little stinging at first use. I was a little worried that I was having an allergic reaction, but it turned out fine. Bottom Line: Baking Soda is inexpensive and seems to be working well so far! I keep the box sitting just outside of my shower on the shelf and use it on my washcloth with my regular soap. My skin over all my body seems smoother and cleaner. I use the "paste" mixture as a facial scrub after I clean my face with my usual face clean (as the box recommended). So far so good! I'll post more as I continue use. Oh, I almost forgot...if you live in the south like I do and have problems with those pesky mosquitoes, I seem to have had less trouble with bites the past few days! ;-) Recommended: Yes Usage: TJ has used this item for a day or two.

Meg, Missouri Aug 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: improved texture, fewer nodules, red marks fade more quickly Cons: not 100% Bottom Line: I use as paste mixed with water and rub gently. Then AC Vinegar with water as toner. This makes my skin soft, my red marks fade more quickly, my number of nodules are reduced, and my overall texture is improved. I used without the ACV for several weeks; not as much clearing of the skin and it wasn't as soft. However, ACV alone does nothing for me. Also use murad products. Not 100% clear, but with this combo I get results as good as when I was on 4 different RX for acne (antibiotic oral AND topical, differin, birth control). I appreciate the lack of side effects.

Andrew, Charlottesville, VA Aug 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap Clears up /most/ big red acne Works AT FIRST Cons: Does not gurantee long term clear skin Prolonged use caused immunity Bottom Line: For the first few weeks, it cleared up my skin ALOT. It was amazing! :D (Water + Baking Soda Mask, leave it on for 20 minutes). /Most/ of my large pimples are gone (those annoying red ones). BUT.... now there are many of these tiny little bumps, which I hate even more. The baking soda DOES NOT work anymore, my skin has gotten used to its affect, I believe. It's as if my face doesn't want to get any better. ;_; It may or may not work out for you. I would reccomend it, but not for long term use.
