Pros Cleared Acne, smoothed skin, evened out complexion, cheap!
And effective
Cons None!
Bottom line I have used baking soda with hydrogen peroxide for the last few weeks at night only as a short face mask right before I apply my toner and use my spot treatment.
As of far it has been effective in removing my acne! At the moment I have one small pimple and thats about it!
I am very pleased with the result and will continue using it :)

Pros Mega cheap, works half decent
Cons doesn't reduce for me
Bottom line I have been using the water / baking soda combo fur about the past week, and i am seeing no reduction in pimples. There was a couple days i skipped using it and a break out came after that, so i know it was doing something, just not enough.

Pros Cheap
Cons Doesn't work
Bottom line I used it once, and when I woke up, the few pimples I had were all amplified.. I'm scared that if I keep using it will only get worse.

Pros cheap. Makes skin super smooth and, most importantly, it actually works!
Cons can make skin irritated first time
Bottom line I had acne as a teenager but it got really bad in my mid-20s. I used Proactive for two years. It worked in the beginning but then stopped working and made my skin really unhealthy looking. I tried Retin A which made me break out like crazy for two months, and now I have been on antibiotics for 2 months with little results. I have painful, cystic acne that leaves scars. I tried baking soda and water after reading the reviews here, and I can't tell you how happy I am. The first time I washed with it my face turned a bit red...but only for 20 min or so. I made a paste and put it on my spots overnight and have been doing this for about four days. My spots are much smaller, some scars seem lighter, and I haven't gotten one new zit!! I am sooooooo excited about this and hopefully it will keep working.

Pros my face has never felt this clean and smooth. my pimples calmed down immediately after i washed it off. they were still there just not inflamed and painful
Cons it burns a little but i like it because i know its WORKING! :)
Bottom line i've wasted money on so many different things to make my skin look good. this even smoothed out my coloration. hopefully i won't have to wear a ton of powder and foundation anymore. baking soda is the cheap and easy way out! for real!

Pros Cheap, Effective Exfoliant
Cons Must get mixture just right; will need add'l steps to regimen
Bottom line This is not a miracle cure, but it is a good natural way to exfoliate without getting all the additives or harsh materials store bought stuff gives you. Get the mixture just right or it will either be to granular or not effective, I have been doing for a couple of months and can now just eye-ball it. It's about a 2 to 1 (BS to water) mixture. Be sure to "massage" it into tyour skin, don't rub/scrub or your skin will get irritated.

Pros great exfoliator, cheap, easy to find, smoother skin, less breakouts
Cons stings a little, can be messy to work with
Bottom line I use 1 tbsp baking soda mixed with Cetaphil cleaner on my face 3 times a day. At first I tried mixing it with water but it gets too crumbly. With Cetaphil the baking soda mixes uniformly and is easier to apply. The Cetaphil also helps to moisturize the skin and keep it from burning too much. About 10 min after washing, I apply 50% diluted Bragg ACV as a toner. I have mild to moderate acne, usually on my chin and behind my ears. My acne has cleared up tremendously after 2 days using baking soda and ACV.

Pros Clears acne and blackheads; softens skin
Cons dries skin
Bottom line Use moisturizer and your kool. I started using this in Nov of 07 along with other stuff. After my face cleared up mostly I stopped using the BS and continued using BP cream. Well long story short I had a flareup that reulted in a lot of acne marks on my face. I have given up on EVERYTHING EXCEPT BP! It's the only thing that will help me! Well, except for a few visits to the derm; $$$ for numerous products just to see what works, only to stop treatment and have more acne. LOL I love Baking Soda, Lemons, and that's all there is to it.

Pros Cheap, affordable, and great results! It made my skin real smooth with no side affects and no fragrance at all. Truly all natural. ;)
Cons Do not rub too hard when its dried, especially for sensitive skin but it's not drying at all. Don't worry. ;)
Bottom line Just mix 2 tb. of baking soda with 1 tb. of water and bam!, you've got a miracle cure for your acne and blemishes! & it also gets rid of blackheads. Leave it on for 20 minutes. Try it, it worked for me. Good luck. ;)
