Pros:Very clear, smooth, bright, affordable, etc..
Cons:NONE
Bottom Line:Ive used every acne medication that only make me break out more. One day, my son had some irritable mosquito bites and I did some research and read that baking soda paste will work to reduce the bumps. Sooo, I tried it on my face and slept with it overnight. Woke up a new person. Did it for 2 more days after and my face only appeared clearer and smooth with no pimples. Didnt use it for 4 days now and my face remains clear and smooth. This is unbelievable.

Pros:dries up pimples, gets rid of dead skin, and has even gotten rid of some of my blackheads!
Cons:leaves skin red and a little dry, but the redness only stays for a few minutes, and putting on moisturizer after keeps skin from getting to dry.
Bottom Line:It works! Does more then I actually expected it to. I say only do this every other week, because its pretty strong stuff and might irritate your skin. My skin gets extra dry in the winter, so i do it every week then, but only every other week in the other seasons. And, it's super cheap!

Pros:Works faster and better than anything I have ever tried, and that's everything that's out there. Truly amazing that it's also so cheap, easily available, Clears blackheads, whiteheads amazingly fast, and even slowly clears large cystic pimples.
Cons:Leaving on too long or scrubbing too hard causes dryness, irrtation, and peeling.
Bottom Line:34 now and this is the best skin I've had since puberty. Wash your face or body with whatever cleanser and rinse off. Dump some BS on your wet hands and rub very lightly but vigorously on wet skin - don't press but move ot all around real well with light touch. Rinse off. I do this once or twice a day, and require a good moisturizer to prevent little flakies, especially when I use the BS twice a day. Only product I've ever used that continues to work, everything else caused temp. slight improvement and false hope. I still have a few small pimples, but they come and go much faster and I don't spend all morning fkn around with makeup. Highly recommend.

Pros:Exfoliated my skin. Took dry-patches away, skin feels baby-smoothe! Redness is reduced and pimples are drying up.
Cons:Stings a little. Would cause drying if i didn't moisturize after.
Bottom Line:- I mix equal parts of water/baking soda.
- Use fingers to masage onto skin on face/chest.
- Rinse off with water
- Moisturize with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (a fantastic moisturizer that will not clog pores, is completely natural and VEGAN, does not have fillers or preservatives). Coconut oil is also a natural anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial. The best thing you can put on yours skin to moisturize!

Voila..... Healthy skin!
