| Pros | You probably have it in your kitchen, very cheap, easy to use, no added chemicals, very safe to use, has a million uses. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It may burn a little if you have sensitive skin. |
| Bottom line | On Monday morning, I woke up with a T-zone whitehead attack. My entire forehead, my nose, my chin, and my temples were absolutely riddled with whiteheads. There were hundreds upon hundreds of them. My face looked like a sheet of Braille. It was absolutely horrifying. And I'm African-American with dark skin, so I was very worried about hyperpigmentation. Before bed Monday night, I rinsed my face with warm water to open up my pores. Then I applied a mask consisting of baking soda and water. I let the mask dry (about 10 minutes) and then rinsed it off. I followed up with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. I followed this routine every night. Now it's Saturday morning, and the whiteheads are 96% gone. There are just a few tiny ones here and there. The baking soda mask is a lifesaver and works brilliantly, especially for mild (non-cystic) acne. It's the only thing that works for me. THE ONLY THING. And I don't even have any hyperpigmentation! YAY! |

| Pros | My skin is very sensitive and oily and I'm prone to break outs. My skin has never felt better than after using the baking soda face mask. I'm throwing out all my overpriced ance creams |
|---|---|
| Cons | It does burn for a few seconds and is flaky when it starts to dry. |
| Bottom line | Use the baking soda and you won't be sorry. I'm 30 years old and have tried everything you can imagine since I was 15 years old. I gave it a try after reading the reviews on here, and I won't go back to anything else. My skin looks the best it has it years! |

| Pros | dries up pimples faster than just leaving them alone, deeply cleans your face, helps prevent new breakouts, your skin feels fresh and it glows after you rinse it off. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The first day or two, it will burn a bit and make your skin red, but once your skin adjusts, this won't happen anymore. |
| Bottom line | I've tried so many different products to try to clear up my acne after I could no longer afford to be on Retin-A. Nothing has worked better than a mask of baking soda and water applied to my face twice a day. I wash my face, then apply this mask morning and night, leave it on until it dries, and then I rinse it off, following up with an oil-free moisturizer. After 2 days of using the product, my skin no longer burned when I put it on, and the redness went away. It shrinks down my pimples (even the cystic ones) faster than if I were to just leave them be, and now that I've been on it for about 2 months, I find that I get far less pimples, (even cysts!) Occasionally, I'll get a bad hormonal breakout, but they're only half as bad as they used to be when I wasn't on baking soda. This stuff totally rocks, I recommend it 100%. You'll never find anything more effective that's so cheap! |

| Pros | this is a miracle product, i swear. it unclogged my pores, it's VERY inexpensive, and it treated a lot of my acne that even proactiv couldn't treat. i've used this everyday for just one week and i already saw a visible difference within 3 days. |
|---|---|
| Cons | it burns, but what's a little burn for a clear face [: |
| Bottom line | this stuff is amazing. you seriously shouldn't hesistate to try this. my face is uber uber sensetive and breaks out when i put ANYTHING on it. at first, i was scared that it might make my skin worse, but it's made it so much softer and so much smoother. deff worth a try! |

| Pros | It definitely leaves you with softer and smoother skin and lightens acne scars. It also seems to work great as an alternative to an acne face wash. VERY inexpensive. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Burning sensation. Can be messy. |
| Bottom line | Everyone must give this a try since it's so cheap and readily available. Just go to the supermarket, buy some Arm & Hammer for $2, and mix it with just enough water to make it a little bit pastey. Just experiment with it. I've done this for over a week now every evening, leaving it on my face for about 15 minutes and it really does make a difference. I have also been taking zinc daily and I do Dan's acne regime and I've finally gotten totally clear. I'm going to stick to this and see which of the three I can drop, although it is really nice to finally be acne free so maybe I shouldn't be messing with it. |

| Pros | -Noticably smoother & clearer skin. -Reduces any oils right away -Gives skin a clean feeling |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Burning effect -Redness after depending on skin type -Mask flakes off after drying |
| Bottom line | I mix baking soda, water, & hydrogen peroxid into something as pastey as I can get. I left it on until it flaked. It worked pretty well for me. My skin feels great, but it can be somewhat red & the burning during the process made me think I would be very sensitive. It all goes away though & your skin will look the desired way you want it. It's great for blackheads also. They look much smaller after using this. |

| Pros | red marks from zits gone, acne reduced |
|---|---|
| Cons | burns, but thats not too bad. |
| Bottom line | everyone here seems to have had their acne go away in a few minutes! I put it on for a half hour and when i washed it off it looked alot better, but maybe i need more time with it to get others effects. Wierd thing here, when i washed it off it had popped all my zits and they were bleeding. idk, but it was deff wierd. I still recommend it though, b/c most whiteheads are less visible, and blackheads gone altogether. |
