Cons:
Can sting if skin is very irritated
About 3 months ago I started to breakout around my nose and it spread to my chin. I tried many different products even cortisone cream which made it worse. I almost gave up and decided to try monistat cream and it kind of helped. I used monistat for a week and it helped but not entirely, so in desperation I thought I would try a home remedy. I started to use baking soda as a scrub in the shower. Then afterwards I used apple cider vinegar as as an astringent and well here I am about 90% cleared up! My skin is the softest it has ever been. I only used the vinegar now when I see eruptions. The only thing about the baking soda is that in the shower using just my hands the scrub effect is gentle, but if u use a face cloth it can be quite harsh. I will never buy face wash or scrub again!

Cons:

This is the cheapest thing that actually works just make a paste out ofbaking soda and water apply let dry rinse with warm water pat dry then rinse again with COLD water to close the pores. After pat dry and then apply a mositerizer. I promise you would not belive the INSTANT results!!

Pros:
faded red scars on my forehead and chin, which is the main reason i tried this, dissolved blackheads, dried out pimples
cheap!
Cons:
burned like hell, but i think it'll get better after a few uses
i've had acne since january, and i know it's not long, but who likes acne right? i only got acne because i have oily skin and i used to have straight bangs, and my hair made me break out. i tried numerous cleansers from Neutrogena (which worked pretty well but has soo many chemicals) and AcneFree clear skin set (which made me break out everywhere)
my skin already feels soo much smoother than it has before. when i made the baking soda and water thing, you put one part baking soda and two parts water, which is good to start out with. it stung. STUNG. especially around the nose, where i had little tiny pimples and i guess my skin was extremely damaged. you wait until the mask has dried, and then rinse it off with warm water. i also recently started drinking green tea, which is helping, only one cup a day goes a long way. definitely recommend this to anyone with acne.

Pros:
Works better than RX's and Cheap
Cons:
Powder in a box not as convenient as liquids in the bottles.
I mix this with clean and clear moisturizer (the one with Salicylic Acid for blemish fighting) and use as my new cleanser. I am tired of dry skin and acne no matter what I ate or used on my skin so I went to the extreme of loading my skin with moisturizing lotion (which I used to fear would clog pores and worsen) bu add the baking soda as it has the cleaning properties. I have done it for about 2 weeks and after 18 months my skin is soft and healing and nothing new at all. The stubborn milia or small little painless bumps caused from BP products on my cheek is going away to after being there for months.

mixed with lemon juice
i tried the mask i actually like it, its a bit messy so place a hand towel on your chest or do it right before you shower. i used the lemon juice because lemon is a natural way to lighten dark spots. the mask do make your skin feel dry but thats what moisturizer is for. it tightened my pores made my skin look brighter(fresher) and smooth. so i will probably do the mask twice a week one at the beginning and then the middle of the week. its a good alternative for people who have a small budget, you shouldnt spend no more than $3

Lemon juice is an acid and baking soda is a bad so when you combine the two you actually neutralize them. You might as well put plain water on your face because all that you will get from mixing an acid and a base of similar but opposite strengths is create a salt and water. No point.

Pros:
make cystic acne less painful after one application
reduced the size of cystic acne.
cheap
no harsh chemicals
Cons:
can be drying for people with sensitve skin, but just water down the paste more, eg 1 part baking soda and 3 part water.
cystic acne takes weeks to clear up and it hurts A LOT! i usually get about 6 cystic spots per month, because i have hormonal imbalance and baking soda really helps to bring down the inflammation. also, if you put it on when you see the cystic pimple starting to form, it can stop the pimple from getting bigger.
i leave to baking soda paste on my pimple as long as i can. e.g, when i come home from work and i have no more schedule, i'll take my make-up off and put baking soda on my pimple until the end of the day. by night time, the cystic will have reduced =) also, don't forget to moisturise. i like to use aloe vera gel =)
Pros:
Cheap
Very effective
leaves skin soft
doesn't dry skin
