Baking Soda

Miracle product! I've struggled with acne so long & I wish I would of tired this sooner. Now I mostly have scars, but I still deal with acne. The way I use it: Mix water, baking soda and one drop of Tea tree oil into a light paste. This might be to long for those with sensitive skin, but it works for me. I do this every few days. Tea tree oil is itself very beneficial for acne and is natural so I find that using both is the key. Every other night I just wash my face with my facial soap mixed with baking soda to exfoliate. Hope I helped! <3

I mix baking soda and a cheap sea salt (mortan's) into a thick paste and let it sit on my face for about 10-15 minutes. It really stings where the cysts are but everywhere else is ok. I rinse it off with warm water while rubbing it in a circular motion to scrub off any dead skin and once it is off my skin feels great! I have had cystic acne for years and have tried all kinds of topical medications (over-the-counter and prescribed) as well as numerous prescriptions including accutane and nothing has been this safe and effective! It helps with current flare ups as well as reducing the coloration of my scars. Give it a try, it will help. If your skin gets irritated make a thinner paste (more water) or if you feel it is not helping try a thicker paste (less water). Don't forget to use an oil free moisturizer after you remove the face, it can really really make your skin dry if you don't.

Yes, Yes Yes! this is the best product ever! you have to try it! all I did was made a paste from baking soda and water and gently scrubbed my face with it for about 20 seconds and then I rinsed it off with cool water!!! and my blackheads went away like THAT!!

Im willing to try it no matter what!

I didn't know that baking soda couldn't be used as a mask, but when I did, it wasn't too bad. I have quite sensitive skin, but I left it on for ten minutes and only nose became irritated. I didn't spot an immediate different, but no treatment does. (I just added some water to baking soda to make a paste.) After that, I made a less watery paste and applied it on this double whammy of a pimple (it's disgusting, not really a whitehead, but this huge bump...) It drops all over your pillow, but you can't really tell. Just rinse your hair and you'll be fine. The next morning, my blackheads are clear (probably because I cleaned the stuff out of it and burned the heck out of my nose) and that big zit of death has toned down and the top layers of sebum are gone, so it's just a plain ol' whitehead now.

Here is the deal: This stuff works better than any acne product on the market, I have tried them all proactive, etc. I've read the other reviews and most are using to many products. When using this product you dont need any other acne cleanser don't mix with anything else. Mix baking soda with water to form a "thin" paste and put it on the skin as a mask for at least 15-20 minutes until it dries. Next rinse off with cool water do not scrub your face, no need to, it has already done its intended purpose which is to disinfect the skin. You need this next: As a toner mix 1 part apple cider vineagar and 8 parts water and use with a cotton swab. This will bring the ph level back into balance and hydrate your skin. Trust me it works! Moisturize after. My skin was "horrible" and within 2 weeks my acne was totally cleared on my forehead, chin, cheeks and I haven't had a bad breadout since I've been using this for 3 months. You "will" see results within 1 week, be patient!!

IT REALLY WORKS, ALL MY BLACKHEADS R GONE AND IT DIDNT EVEN DRY UP MY SKIN! ITS CHEAP N EFFECTIVE SO I STRONLGY RECOMMMEND IT 2 EVERYONE.

I've always had oily skin, and I've had acne for awhile, I used to have moderate acne, but it is slowly getting better as I mature. Baking soda is amazing, at first I wrote it off as ineffective because after I washed it off my skin looked redder than before. But then I started using it again and have been for a week or so. It's GREAT! it actually reduces redness and helps to heal. I suggest putting it on before bed, it tightens your skin so you're better protected at night from oil and bacteria from your pillow case (and therefore don't have to change it out every week to prevent it). Alone it can't cure acne (at least not for me) but it is very helpful.

I mix a sprinkle with my liquid face wash each time I wash my face. I used to use BP and salicylic acic treatments until I found this natural solution on a web posting. Also found info that says BP has been linked to free radical formation, similar to not using sunblock outdoors. I now have an affordable skin regimine that actually works on my adult breakouts!!

I use as paste mixed with water and rub gently. Then AC Vinegar with water as toner. This makes my skin soft, my red marks fade more quickly, my number of nodules are reduced, and my overall texture is improved. I used without the ACV for several weeks; not as much clearing of the skin and it wasn't as soft. However, ACV alone does nothing for me. Also use murad products. Not 100% clear, but with this combo I get results as good as when I was on 4 different RX for acne (antibiotic oral AND topical, differin, birth control). I appreciate the lack of side effects.
