Very good way to get rid of acne fast and cheap
January 4, 2009
Pros:
Cheap! Multi-purpose, other household uses. No smell. It works!
Cons:
Dries skin somewhat if used too often. Can sting for first uses.
I've read reviews where it's used as a mask, but having tried it as a mask and as a scrub....I find it most effective as a scrub. Sometimes I add it to a mild cleanser too. Or best if used after cleansing. The trick is the right about of water....you want it 'scrubby' but also moist enough to be able to work it over face. Don't rub too hard! Just lightly rub and circle over face. Leaves skin deep down clean, oil free and smooth.

I just finished using this a couple minutes ago. I washed my face w/ Dr. Thrower's heritage and then put the baking soda/water mixture and let it sit for 10-15 mins. after i washed it my skin complexion lokks better and a few of my bumps decreased! I just put on finacea cream and it feels normal. my skin is so smooth! hope it works in the long run!

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
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:
Cheap, Effective Exfoliant
Cons:
Must get mixture just right; will need add'l steps to regimen
This is not a miracle cure, but it is a good natural way to exfoliate without getting all the additives or harsh materials store bought stuff gives you. Get the mixture just right or it will either be to granular or not effective, I have been doing for a couple of months and can now just eye-ball it. It's about a 2 to 1 (BS to water) mixture. Be sure to "massage" it into tyour skin, don't rub/scrub or your skin will get irritated.

Pros:
clean
smooth complexion :)
Cons:
slight burning/redness
(both temporary)
be careful not to use too much, and DO NOT use baking soda as a mask. instead use it as an exfoliant couple times a week and/or a spot treatment rather than on your whole face. it is a poweful cleaning agent , so dissolves dirt and oils. shrinks and dries blemishes.

Pros:
IT WORKS!!
Cons:
Area was a bit red for a while
If you have blackheads, especially on your nose.Make a thin paste out of Baking SOda and Water and gently rub onto the area with a wet cotton ball. Rinse off and repeat if desired. =)

Pros:
It works for me! I spot treat, and it made my pimples smaller, and some dissapeared within a few days! I have small fine pimples on my cheeks, and baking soda plus hydrogen peroxide mix works best for me.
Cons:
It might burn or tingle a bit...but I like it! At least it feels as though its doing something!
I tried using the combination of baking soda and water, but his didn't cut the mustard. I read that other people mix it with hydrogen peroxide so I tried this, and it works much better. If you spot treat, it will reduce swelling and get rid of those buggers within a few days. I find that it didn't work so well on my existing pimples, but the 'fresh' ones didn't stand a chance! This stuff really works. I'm quite amazed. I usually make a paste, not too thick, and apply it to my face, while rubing it in a bit. I have found this rubbing tends to dry out my skin some, but its far better than having a nasty zit on your face! I've also started washing my face with baking soda and warm water, and this reduces existing white and blackheads. Acne is not fun to deal with, and can make you feel really crummy alot of the time, but don't sweat it. Give it try. I really hope this helps alot of people out there.
