Pros:It doesn't sting, it doesn't smell bad or leaving a burning feeling like most acne medications
Cons:It's a little itchy on me
Bottom Line:I sorta gave up on acne meds cause some of the scrubs, cleansers, toners, and even moisturizers use chemicals that recently became too harsh for my skin. So after accutane, proactive, murad, clean & clear, neutrogena, clearasil, differin, clinique, and many others, I decided to go natural. See how that works. So, I've been using this product for about a week. It really does help out with scarring and dries up the pimples. I mean REALLY dries them. But sometimes I wanna see my skin clear so badly I believe it's working when it might not be, so I get my little sister to be the judge on that.

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.

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
