Pros:Affordable + it leaves my skin so smooth and bright!
Cons:nothing
Bottom Line:Today was the firs time i tried it and it works great! Right after i noticed that my skin was a lot clearer (not that i had any acne problems) but i have a lot of freckles on my cheekbones so sometimes it makes my face looks darker and older, but after using this it looks a little lighter! And my face feels so smooth! What i did was mix equal parts of water and baking soda (so it was a little runny) but i used a cotton ball to rub it on to my face gently and then rinsed with warm water. Washed all the oil off!
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Jessica has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:very quick, extremely effective, reduces redness and was cheap!
Cons:it tingled but i imagine it can sting if you have super sensitive skin
Bottom Line:used it for the first time a few minutes ago, i mixed it with a drop or two of my neutrogena glycerol cleanser and oh my the results were amazing! i left the past on for about 3 minutes while in the shower and then washed off, my blackheads were gone, my acne was noticeably gone or shrunk, and the redness is barely there. i love this stuff. :))

Pros:Exfoliates, cheap
Cons:Strong stuff
Bottom Line:Works for me. I think it removes dead skin cells which may be blocking/clogging your pores. Hopefully won't need to use this after using the regimen because you're not supposed to exfoliate too often.

Pros:Softer, smoother, more even complexion after first use. Oil production has minimized and redness has dramatically improved
Cons:Texture wise, it's different than the cleansers I'm used to, but not to the point it's uncomfortable
Bottom Line:The most effective thing I've ever used on my face! I've tried Clean & Clear's and Neutrogena's Acne Kits, Proactive several times, Honey & nutmeg, Aspirin masks, Aloe Vera sap, Colon Cleansing, Strict Dieting, Increasing Water intake, Flax seed oil, Lysine, Vitamin E supplements, Zinc...I've about had it! It's super affordable and worth a try.

My regimine:
1) CLEANSE: Baking soda + water to form a paste
2) TONE; cotton ball soaked in water + apple cider vinegar
3) Moisturizer of choice, preferably unscented & formulated for sensitive skin
4) SPOT TREAT: in the PM only. I use Dr. Jeff's Acne Spot Treatment
5) MASK: once a week, 1 egg white whipped with a few squeezes of lime juice. I suggest toning AFTER a mask regimine.

The lime juice is optional. I add it because of it's exfoliant properties which in turn I've heard helps to fade away hyperpigmentation (those dark spots left after our horrid little friends) Good Luck everyone!

Pros:even skin tone, clean feeling, major redness reducer, dries pimples in a gentle way (unlike panoxly, proactive, retin-a, ETC.)
Cons:none so far
Bottom Line:i have only used the baking soda mask a couples times and so far it is the best acne treatment i have ever used. it would have taken me weeks with other products to get the same results as ONE baking soda mask. it dries and shrinks pimples almost instantly. i just hope the is keeps working this well
