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.

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:

It is cheap. It makes your skin feel smooth.

Cons:

I may have developed allergic reaction to this product. I have more breakouts.

It is still worth to try since it is very cheap. It is suppose to be great for acne, acne scars, bleach and a lot of other purposes.

Pros:

It got lots of great reviews so it is worth a try.

Cons:

After 2 nights, there is no improvement at all.

I have moderate acne, mostly just around my mouth. I also have a lot of acne scars on my forehead. I made a paste out of water and baking soda, and put it on for about 5 minutes. So far after 2 nights, my acne has only gotten worse. I dont know if thats because I got a tan last week or because of the baking soda. Anyway, this is def worth a try. Sooo many people have had great results, sometimes within a day sometimes within a week. I will not give up with this, sometimes the best treatments take time. But with the price and the ease, it is WORTH A TRY!!

Dry skin,a little stingy at first..but not much

You have to try this.I've been using it since yesterday..and already..my acne has dried up..its a good thing to use a moisturizer however..other than that..I plan to use it in replace of Pro-Activ..that only breaks my skin out.. I use Baking Soda..not the powder.

Pros:

Clears up some acne
Soft Skin
Tightens Pores

Cons:

Dries out your skin.

After I switched from birth control pills to nexplanon my acne got significantly worse. I started getting cysts. Red and horrible. It was difficult to keep from popping them. Sometimes I would anyways and the redness would be so much worse. I tried BP, and other various treatments. Nothing seemed to keep the acne in check until I started using baking soda. I usually use it every other day. I just wet my face pour some into my palm, and make a mask. I leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Then I rinse it off, While using an acne soap bar. My skin is relatively clear. The baking soda WILL dry out your skin so you need to moisturize. It's a really cheap alternative compared to some acne treatments.

Pros:

Has some effect.

Cons:

Very messy and difficult to apply.

It won't work in the long term, but if you put some on before you go to bed, when you wake up you'll notice a difference. It makes your acne spots lighter and smaller.

Pros:

Most DEFINITELY tightens skin and reduces pore size. I also noticed that it forced a large pimple on my chin to become flaky and this pimple is no longer swolen.

Cons:

Somewhat removed the lustrous shine from my face. I could see where it could be drying.

It's definitely worth a shot. I have only used this once so far and I plan on using it maybe twice a week as an exfoliator. I just recent started the Regimen recommended on this site, and my skin needs exfoliating. Like everyone else has said, it burns a little but it's worth it.
