Pros:

smooths and softens skin
exfoliates
clears up acne

Cons:

your skin might be dry afterwards

I use baking soda about 3 or 4 times a week. It usually leaves my skin really dry afterward but i follow up with a nice skin moisturizer and the moisturizer soaks right in to my skin. It wont stay on the surface and i dont sweat it out, because of the baking soda. My skin is alway clear and pimple/ breakout free now [except for that time of the month (lol sry)]. So i highly suggest it! Its all natrual!!

Pros:

ery affordable and decreases redness.

Cons:

Meh couldnt think of many.

In all seriousness, I have tried Proactiv with horrible results, actually making my skin tone worse and caused cystic pimples in areas I have never had them before. I'e used many OTC cleaners, redness reducers, overnight gels, creams, in otherwords tried everything to help my once clear skin. I tried a different route this time and went natural. Baking powder completely diminished all the redness from previous irritation as well as made the pimples I had smaller. I dab a little hydrogen peroxide on my face in addition to the baking powder over the pimples before i go to bed. I have seen immense results. Its unbelievable I Have spent hundreds of dollars on products when the one that really worked was 1.00 at shaws. I have also found that steaming my face once a day helps my skin tone and reduces the size of pores.

Pros:

Works well.

Cons:

None so far.

I made a foaming paste from baking soda and fresh leomn juice. Put the paste on my face and let it dry and then rinsed. Dabbed on a light layer of extra virgin olive oil (won't clog pores like most moisterisers).

Pros:

Great exfoliator, my skin was soft afterward. :)

Cons:

itched while it dried. burned if i put it on any irritated areas. kind of drying.

ughhh. i wish it would have worked, but i don't think it helped very much. it's only been a couple of days, but i didn't see any super fast results like other people have been getting. i'll keep using it though, and i might post another review later. i made it into a paste and left it on overnight to spot-treat. i also washed my face with it once, but it was a little drying and didn't really help. i think other people should try it just because it makes your skin feel good and it might clear you up. :)

Pros:

skin feels softer, smoother and clearer, skin becomes less oily

Cons:

stings when you apply it the first time. and may cause redness(depends on your skin) but the redness will disappear in a short while.

try this. it's very good. it has no known side effects, cheap, easy to get, although it might sting a lil, it's very good. it does no harm to your skin and only makes it better. it definitely clears up unwanted acne AND acne marks. I had pretty bad acne marks on my face and it killed my confidence a lot but when i started using baking soda, i notice clearer skin and less acne break outs in just 4 days! unbelievable because normally my products which i use would not work but this certainly did work. heck, it's proven! :)

Pros:

CHEAP, WORKS!

Cons:

BURNS! It burned like cfrazy the second time I used it ( I did it two days in a row) I will probably only do it 2-3 times a week but not on consecutive days.

It works pretty well for my under the skin bumps they are clearing up after the first time of use. I also wash with black soap after and use clean and clear spot treatment (which did NOT work by itself before using the baking soda). I never had problem skin so i think I am just getting a mild case of adult acne but all of it is uder the skin (those suckers are hard to get)! Anyway TRY IT! You have nothing to lose but acne...or a dollar or two.

Pros:

excellent acne treatment
very cheap
easy to use

Cons:

little burning sensation on the first few applications, shouldnt put u off cause it vanishes after a few times

excellent acne treatment i use it differently during a warm shower, your pores are already opened, so make use of this ! - i take with me to the shower a tea spoon full of baking soda, towards the end of the shower, i put some baking soda in my hand and scrub my face with it for about 30 seconds, after this i let the water flow all over me to rinse my face thoroughly. now you want to close your pores again, so wash your face with cool water.
