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

Bottom Line:i rate it as four since i've only used it today, but it already seems to be working well :)
