Pros This is both the least expensive and most effective product I've ever used.
Cons None for me, some report it's less gentle than they'd like.
Bottom line I've never even let the baking soda sit on my skin, I've simply used it in the shower or at the sink in lieu of official face-cleansing products. My face feels cleaner and looks better afterward than with any other product, and an oil-free moisturizer takes care of the mild tight feeling the baking soda can cause.

Pros very cheap and if you still can't afford, and for the people with no or little money i know exactly what your going through, its very easy to steal
skin feels alot smoother
Cons very slight burn for a few minutes, but nothing compared to other acne producs that burn and don't work
tightens face but i really don't mind at all
Bottom line I just now tried it for my first time, i made the paste (water and baking soda) and put it on my fave for an hour. There isnt a big difference like alot of these other postings say, but i feel alot cleaner and i feel like my pores are closed. I plan to keep this up for about a week or two and see how well it works. I have tried almost everything (proactive, murade, clean & clear, clearasel, and tons of other products) and nothing has worked, hopefully this is will actually work. I only recommend it because if nothing else works why not try something new. Hopefully everyone will have great luck with this. =}

Pros Works fantastically...for a day.
Cons My skin got used to it.
Bottom line In one night of using it, I saw a complete change in my face. Literally murdered my whiteheads. Sadly, all the thought-to-be dead pimples came back within a day, and get no smaller, no matter how much friggin baking soda I put on them. I'd really only recommend this if your in a pinch, like the night before school pictures or something.
Recommended No

Pros It works really well! I love it. I'm going into highschool in a week, and I'm so glad I've found this! It's easy to use, really cheap, and works great! Everything on my face is clearing up, espescially my forehead! I LOVE it!
Bottom line Just make sure you use it right:
1. mix baking soda with enough water to just make a paste.
2. ONLY use as a wash, not a mask, or it will dry out your face and leave it peeling, blotchy and red.
3. make sure you use a good moisturizer after! This is the most important, because you don't want to dry out your face.

I recommend you use this once a day, only at night, after washing your face with a facial cleanser.

I've used so many different store bought products, and none work.
Please try this using the directions above; if you do, your face will not be harmed, so you have nothing to loose except your acne! Just make sure to use as a paste ONLY, NEVER DRY BAKING SODA! And use a moisturizer after, preferably one that doesn't clog pores, like an Aveeno product. I use both moisturizer and cleanser from Aveeno.

Pros myohmy!this works wonder.I lovee it:)I had a few breakouts in my cheek(dark pimples)& i used it for a couple of days,& officially gone.The browness of the pimple,was rub off.
Cons sensitive skin people:
IT BURNS A LOT.
BUT, it means it is working,killing the germs. it can get quite messy once it dries.
Bottom line Some suggestions:
Mix with water,into powder paste
let it dry for 15min and rinse it off.
wipe it off with a clean towel :)
if you have severe acne: i suggest use this everyday in the morning AND night.
For not so severe acne: use this once a day each week.

Pros It worked great! I had a huge zit on my forehead and it already reduced about half! I also had very noticable blackheads on my nose and they are almost gone after one time!
Cons none yet!
Bottom line It worked great for the first time...I don't know how it will work in the long run, but i have been using percription spot medication and the baking soda worked better in one day then that has been in weeks...

Pros It significantly reduced the amount of pimples I got and helped to heal my existing acne.
Cons can burn when just using baking soda but I add a little honey for my sensitive skin and it doesn't burn.
Bottom line It really works! I mix a couple teaspoons of baking soda with a few drops of water and a drop or two of honey in a light paste. (baking soda is a good scrub while honey moisturizes) Then, I massage my face with a hot wash cloth and spread the concoction with a cotton ball. Next, I rinse with a cold wash after a minute or two. I do this twice a day. Also, spot treatment helps to speed up the healing process even faster.

Pros Cleans face like no other. All the bumps leave and safer than any exfoliater. Cheap, too! I actually wash my scalp with it, too and it cleared up my dry scalp. Leaves hair shiny.
Cons none
Bottom line Use it....it's a God send. I prayed and asked the Lord to show me what to use to clear up dandruff and He led me to use baking soda. So I tried it on my face and it's fantastic.
