Pros:Cheap, a million uses, you probably have it in your kitchen somewhere
Cons:None for me.
Bottom Line:The baking soda mask destroys whiteheads. If I get an outbreak of whiteheads, I'll mix baking soda and water, apply the paste to my face, and leave it on until the mask dries. I'll do this for three days and by the third day, the whiteheads are gone.

The mask greatly reduces whiteheads.

Pros:It works very fast in clearing both white and blackheads and it is very cost efficient.
Cons:None other than a slight burning sensation on the first and second use.
Bottom Line:I have tried absolutely everything to get rid of my acne. I've had it for about 4 years, and wasted so much time and money on products that didn't work. Who would've known the answer to all of my acne problems was right in my kitchen pantry?! I've only been using the baking soda mask for a few days, and I am already noticing results. From the looks of it, it will only go uphill and I'm so excited to finally get rid of my acne! DEFINATELY worth a try!

Pros:Noticeably soft skin, fewer breakouts
Cons:none
Bottom Line:i have been applying a baking soda mask for 2 months now after reading about it on this site. i wanted to give the treatment time before reviewing it...and i must say...the mask is great!! i forgo the lemon juice, and instead just mix the baking soda with lukewarm water until it is at a paste consistency. i then pat, no rub, it onto my face. i leave it on until it dries completely, and then rinse off with cool water. i must say...my skin looks great, and the minimal acne that i had is has decreased to 1-2 pimples at best. i only use this treatment once a week, and follow it up with a toner containing salicylic acid. i use a daily oil free face moisturizer with spf 15. i would recommend this mask to anyone--and for those having irritability issues, i would skip the lemon juice, and just opt for the paste.

Pros:-
Cons:I made a baking soda/lemon juice paste and left it on my face overnight. I woke up the next day, and I now have hundreds of whiteheads (I usually get 1 zit at a time, so this is a nightmare!!!).
Bottom Line:I've researched on other sites, and you are never suppose to use this combination for more than 1 minute. So, I'm just writing this as warning, I'm sure the baking soda and the lemon juice work separately, but please avoid using this combination overnight!!! hopefully all these whiteheads will disappear SOON.

Pros:Definitely cheap
Cons:Slight burning/tingling
Bottom Line:I have tried so many products. $70 for a tube of retin-A which did bring me out of the worst break out of my life and I highly recommend it. $20-$40 lotions, serums, oils, toners, etc. That was a lot of costly hit and miss. I am going to try for a week or two to determine the results. If this works for the money you pay then why not?
