| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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! ;-) |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| Pros: | Inexpensive, simple, washed away all surface oils |
| Cons: | Not quite sure yet. |
| Bottom Line: | A colony of bumps have developped around my cheek and chin area for the past year- they're these tiny bumps right under the skin. They seem like blackheads but they never actually come out. They're so annoying! Nothing has ever gotten rid of them. I've tried using BS for a few days (I think today was my third) and results are somewhat nonexistant. I notice that I'm breaking out more though. I don't know if the baking soda is drawing out impurities to the surface or I'm getting a bad reaction to it because I do notice a bit more redness. I'm only 16 and I've had acne problems since I was about 11. I've tried almost everything! Maybe I'll post in a week or so- see if anything changes! Try it anyways! |

| Pros: | Price, Skin feels so soft, Seems to be pulling all pimples to the surface and drying them out. |
| Cons: | Messy!! Stings a bit. |
| Bottom Line: | I mix Baking Soda with water and leave it on till it dries.
I have been desperate for help with my face. My skin was always pretty clear growing up, never had any real acne issues. When I turned about 31, I started to break out a little more here and there. I recently moved to Europe and all hell broke loose (literally). My skin is awful! I've tried everything under the sun, but it never seems to work. Now I'm on Spironolactone which is great for weight loss and other things and I think it's slowly starting to take effect now.
But, I just tried the Baking soda scub mask thingy.My skin is much softer and it seems to be pulling all the pimples that may have been hiding to the surface. They seem to be drying up quite a bit and the overall apperance of my skin looks a little better. I'm of course on of those instant gratification kind of people so I get frustrated easily if I don't see improvement right away. Wish Me Luck!! So far so good :P |
