Baking soda Really works

Salt water was working great for me but it dried my skin out and daddy got mad cause he never had any salt to cook with.

Vinegar works great but it only works for surface acne (Acne you can see.)

Honey is for irritated skin or dried skin not acne. So after using Baking soda I used Honey.

Tooth paste- Helped temporally and burned

Lemon- It helps a little but bleaches skin. You can’t go out side after using it unless you want it to lightened skin

I never use store products except Noxema but it has way to much oil. My skin is oily on my 4 head and nose. Dry every where else.

I tried a baking soda paste. My acne was worse the first day and red. It was red to began with because I kept popping my pimples and messing with them. Also It brings acne from under the skin. I did again the week after that and it worked. I never leave it on for over a hour. I use it once a week. Other than that I only was my face with water twice a day.

P.s Some people stopped using any products they were using including natural ones. They only cleaned there face with water three times a day and after a while their acne began to clear up. I tried that but it didn’t work for me, but now that I use baking soda I don’t need anything else.

I have been using baking soda for four days now along with Dan's regime. I still have break outs. I am still going to continue to see if it will clear up eventually.

peoplez... baking powder and baking soda are totally different, when i first started using baking soda i was using baking powder and did not not read it properly, just thought 'baking' and i thought it was baking soda. Baking powder is different, there are additional ingredients, it has 'aerator' and corn starch, cuz when i started using 'baking powder' (but thought it was baking soda) it would puff up like hair mousse and it would dry out quickly and didnt like it, but soon later i realised i was using the wrong thing and i bought BAKING SODA, BI-CARB SODA, SODIUM BICARBONATE ~(wat i have listed - just wanted to let u kno there all the same thing) an its great s2 luv it...

I have to say thank you to everyone who recommended the baking soda here. It has been my miracle cure. I've always had a lot of whiteheads and blackheads. It started when I was about twelve. I'm now in my early twenties and I started getting painful cystic acne breakouts. Nothing worked. I've tried Pro-active and every other over-the-counter medicine available. My skin would just dry out and get flaky, but the acne would remain as well. I was about to go see a dermotologist when I read about the baking soda here. I started using the mask (about 2 tbsp. baking soda mixed with a small amount of water to form a paste) once a day to clean my face. I immediately saw an improvement. I stopped getting the cystic pimples. I have now been using the baking soda for about 3-4 months. I have transitioned into using the baking soda paste to wash my face twice a day (morning/night). I have never had such clear skin. Even the persistent whiteheads on my forehead have disappeared. I occasionally get some hormonal pimples on my chin, but those do not get inflamed like before and they go away fairly quickly. My complexion has also improved tremendously. I cannot say how great and affordable this stuff is.
