it falls off your face becuase it is so dry. it's like clearasil vanishing cream.

Remember: Most of acne is caused by hormones. Cream acne meds don't get rid of hormones.

It was my mother who actually introduced me to this baking soda paste. I think it works really well but it tends to leave my face a little dry if I leave it on over night. It really causes the pimples to dry out though. Amazing.

I haven't used this on my face, but on my body acne, it did wonders (back - moderate: 90% clear, chest - mild: 100% clear).

I mix about two teaspoons (just an approx., I actually just tip it into my hand) of baking soda with enough water to make it into a semi-thick paste, rub it in, hop in the shower and exfoliate with a loofah.

I am 14 and I have moderate acne. I have small pimples on my fore head, and then sometimes I just get this big one somewhere. Right now its on my nose :S Anyway, I tried the Baking soda, and well it made my skin feel pretty soft, but I didn't notice any difference in the zits. I read some people had results over night, but that did not happen for me. But I am still using it mixed with my clenser. Willing to see what it does.

baking sode has helped to bring down the inflammation on my super big and irritated bumps, but I would definitly say not to use it more than twice a week if you have sensitive skin maybe once a week even. I dont use it on areas that dont have current breakouts either as it tends to irritate my skin. Make sure you are extremly gentle when u do use it and that you moisturize very well after. Other than that it has been quite helpful for me.

Hope you guys realise that Baking Soda and Baking Powder are different.

I am a 9th grader and I have acne almost everywhere! Boy, I'm glad this baking powder works like magic, unlike ProActive. Btw, my friend also reccommends you to use *caramile oil for the acne.'
*Don't know how to spell it.
