Pros:very cheap and if you still can't afford, and for the people with no or little money i know exactly what your going through, its very easy to steal
skin feels alot smoother
Cons:very slight burn for a few minutes, but nothing compared to other acne producs that burn and don't work
tightens face but i really don't mind at all
Bottom Line:I just now tried it for my first time, i made the paste (water and baking soda) and put it on my fave for an hour. There isnt a big difference like alot of these other postings say, but i feel alot cleaner and i feel like my pores are closed. I plan to keep this up for about a week or two and see how well it works. I have tried almost everything (proactive, murade, clean & clear, clearasel, and tons of other products) and nothing has worked, hopefully this is will actually work. I only recommend it because if nothing else works why not try something new. Hopefully everyone will have great luck with this. =}

Pros:Works fantastically...for a day.
Cons:My skin got used to it.
Bottom Line:In one night of using it, I saw a complete change in my face. Literally murdered my whiteheads. Sadly, all the thought-to-be dead pimples came back within a day, and get no smaller, no matter how much friggin baking soda I put on them. I'd really only recommend this if your in a pinch, like the night before school pictures or something.

Pros:It works really well! I love it. I'm going into highschool in a week, and I'm so glad I've found this! It's easy to use, really cheap, and works great! Everything on my face is clearing up, espescially my forehead! I LOVE it!
Bottom Line:Just make sure you use it right:
1. mix baking soda with enough water to just make a paste.
2. ONLY use as a wash, not a mask, or it will dry out your face and leave it peeling, blotchy and red.
3. make sure you use a good moisturizer after! This is the most important, because you don't want to dry out your face.

I recommend you use this once a day, only at night, after washing your face with a facial cleanser.

I've used so many different store bought products, and none work.
Please try this using the directions above; if you do, your face will not be harmed, so you have nothing to loose except your acne! Just make sure to use as a paste ONLY, NEVER DRY BAKING SODA! And use a moisturizer after, preferably one that doesn't clog pores, like an Aveeno product. I use both moisturizer and cleanser from Aveeno.

Pros:myohmy!this works wonder.I lovee it:)I had a few breakouts in my cheek(dark pimples)& i used it for a couple of days,& officially gone.The browness of the pimple,was rub off.
Cons:sensitive skin people:
IT BURNS A LOT.
BUT, it means it is working,killing the germs. it can get quite messy once it dries.
Bottom Line:Some suggestions:
Mix with water,into powder paste
let it dry for 15min and rinse it off.
wipe it off with a clean towel :)
if you have severe acne: i suggest use this everyday in the morning AND night.
For not so severe acne: use this once a day each week.

Pros:It significantly reduced the amount of pimples I got and helped to heal my existing acne.
Cons:can burn when just using baking soda but I add a little honey for my sensitive skin and it doesn't burn.
Bottom Line:It really works! I mix a couple teaspoons of baking soda with a few drops of water and a drop or two of honey in a light paste. (baking soda is a good scrub while honey moisturizes) Then, I massage my face with a hot wash cloth and spread the concoction with a cotton ball. Next, I rinse with a cold wash after a minute or two. I do this twice a day. Also, spot treatment helps to speed up the healing process even faster.

Pros:Cleans face like no other. All the bumps leave and safer than any exfoliater. Cheap, too! I actually wash my scalp with it, too and it cleared up my dry scalp. Leaves hair shiny.
Cons:none
Bottom Line:Use it....it's a God send. I prayed and asked the Lord to show me what to use to clear up dandruff and He led me to use baking soda. So I tried it on my face and it's fantastic.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:this is the best exfoliator ive ever used! it gets rid of all the excess skin cells all the time. i love it. and its very cheap
Cons:none.
Bottom Line:some people apply it differently but after i wash off my cleanser while my face is still wet. i pour the baking soda into my hand and rub it all over my face but i make sure my hands are dry or else it doesnt work as well. i dont let it sit very long bc that isnt necessary and i remove it all with a washcloth and then splash water on my face to make sure its all off. after i feel like i have new skin so soft and i feel polished.
