Baking Soda

I have SUPER sensitive, oily skin. I also have moderate acne. I cannot use anything on my face without it breaking out, Cetaphil, Clean&Clear, Neutrogena, expensive acne kits, etc. The first time I used baking soda (1 tbs of baking soda mixed with a little witch hazel and water) as I was rubbing it on, my skin was on fire! I could not get the baking soda mix off fast enough! It immediately turned my whole face bright red. However, as I was examining my face for damage, it was like the baking soda has loosened up every blackhead on my face, especially my nose! I went over my skin with some witch hazel afterwards to soothe it and literally the next day I could see an improvement in my skin. My giant, oily pores were much smaller and looked great! My skin also looked better too! I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use, it is an intense detox. I have used it once a week now for the past 5 weeks and my skin looks and feels waaay better than it did. It also no longer burns my skin when I use it, which I think is because I no longer have huge pores. Most importantly skin looks and feels healthy! I still have acne, but it doesn't hurt and throb like it use to. My face is also not a constant shade of red.

Tried it for the first time this morning after reading these reviews. Made the mask and kept it on for 5 minutes. It DID start to burn, but as soon as I stepped into the shower, it felt great. Rinsing it gives a cool smooth texture to your face, and my skin was much better afterwards. Looks A LOT better. However, the whiteheads that aren't popped look more obvious after it, and seem to be more poppable, sometimes that can be good. I plan to keep using this, along with my OXY face wash (10% BP) which works ok. I really think this could work and fix my acne!! :))

This is the best thing I have used by far for my acne! I suffer from acne on my face, back, and chest. Im 18 and it has been 4 years now that I have been looking for something to control my breakouts as it keeps me from going out to the beach and wearing things I want to. I used Baking Soda for the first time today and I am already seeing results! For the first time in many years it is clearing up on my chest and shoulders, fast! I highly recommend this, you have nothing to lose. I scrubbed my face with Baking Soda and water, left it on for about 10 minutes, washed it off, and applied fresh squeezed lemon juice. Working very well so far!

Probley the ONLY thing that will clear up acne without ANY side effects. I use it every day before i go to bed and it really works!!

i saw this remedy of egg whites and i used that for a while and it seemed to work then it started to not work so i found out about baking soda and i mixed the baking soda with the egg whites and my face has cleared dramatically i noticed a big difference in about 3 days works wonders

don't use it solely, mix it with something like your cleansing gel. Don't use it on your active acne because it will peel off the skin above the acne and make it spread. I use this on my nose to clear up blackheads and pores. I got 0 blackheads and pores right now it is just miracle.

I love it! I've had acne scars for a year now that have faded but just won't go away. My acne is actually very light. I only get 1 or 2 pimples at a time and they dry up and go away quickly. But every time I get a pimple, I scar. I don't pick at my face. I don't pop them. But I ALWAYS scar. So, I've done research and have read that baking soda can help fade acne scars by exfoliating dead skin cells away and revealing new skin underneath. I've not yet seen results as I have only used it once but I will continue to use this definitely. Here's what I did: 1 teaspoon baking soda diluted by 1 teaspoon water and a small amount of olive oil. I wet my face with warm water to open up pores then pat my face ALMOST dry. After exfoliating with baking soda mixture, I rinsed thoroughly, dried my face with a CLEAN towel and used cotton balls to swab on apple cider vinegar[to keep my skin's pH levels balanced] Then rinsed my face with COLD water to close pores My face feels great now! It's very smooth and soft and feels SO CLEAN. I highly recommend this!!

I beleive this is the most effective thing I have ever used and its dirt cheap!

I've been using baking soda to treat my acne since I was 15. I'm 20 now, and I still use it as a face mask once a week. I just mix baking soda with enough water to make a paste, apply it to my face, and let it dry on. Once it's dry I simply rinse it off and voila! my skin is noticeably softer and more even. I've found that keeping up the routine is a must for me, though. I don't really have acne now, other than the occasional whitehead, but if I stop for even a couple of weeks I start to break out again.

Hii x] Used this every morning. Apply water to make a paste and leave on only for about two minutes as skin will become very dry! This is great but if used too often can be quite harmful!
