Pros:

Soft skin, clearing of acne. reducing lines on face. Not a lot of chemicals. No smells of chemicals.

Cons:

Not easily applicable, does burn, esp. around eyes. Taste bad.

Have acne problems worst in older yrs. Tried eveything I could think of. Been using BS for3 week, husband noticed softer and smooth skin. He noticed acne disappearing. Co-workers noticed same thing. I do it at night. My hands are also softer, nails looking pretty.

Pros:

cheap, works better than ANYTHING I've ever tried

Cons:

can sting around eyes or if left on long... BUT IT WORKS, PEOPLE!!!

IF it dries out your skin, use extra virgin coconut oil afterwards sparingly. It won't clog poors or make acne worse, and your skin transforms! Seriously! And to think the CURE for acne on my face, neck and back was in my kitchen cabinet the whole time!! Argh! I wish I had known much, much sooner! :)

Pros:

Acne scars reduced a lot within the first application. And within a month my face is almost clear of all acne scars. Does not dry face if you put some kind of oil on your face afterwords like olive oil, but after a week or two you wouldn 't need to.

Cons:

none. Very happy at having discovered it

Seriously try it, you have nothing to love except scars. I am so happy now with how clear my skin looks, If i can call a product magical which reduces scars overnight, this would be it. I use it everyday as scrub, but plan on reducing the application in a few days to once every three days, because my skin has really cleared up, and i want the skin to get its natural oil and lusture back.

Pros:

Very affordable, and enviornmentally friendly. Organic?

Cons:

Absolutely nada

So my acne is on my chin and has been actively reappearing since I was about 16/17. I am 34 and still getting huge, red, painful, cystic acne. The rest of my face is flawless. I never experienced the burning sensation when using baking soda. I have 2 methods. 1. Pour about a tea spoon of baking soda in my hand and rub with water. I gently sweep it on my face avoiding the eye area and leave it for about a minute. I wash off with tepid water slowly exfoliating my skin in a circular motion (no more than 15-20 sec). Pat dry and I put on a mix that I have made with grape seed oil, vitamin E, and a few drops of essential lavender oil.

Pros:

Cheap, refreshing... it works!

Cons:

It can sting if you get it near your eyes...

I have severe cystic acne since I was eleven. I am now in college and I was fed up with flare ups and the effects acne has on your self-estem. I have used almost all over-the-counter facial cleanser, lotions and scrubs with results that lasted only a week or two. I have also tried proactive for over a year and then sought medical treatment and recieved perscriptions for creams and medication. I refused to go on Acutane, so I finally did research and found this treatment. I also do a honey,cinnamen, sage, lemon juice mask about three times a week, which seems to restore moisture to my face. :) I use this as a paste and gently massage my face with it for about thirty seconds and promptly wash it off. I really would not recommend leaving it on as it may strip your skin of its natural oils.

Pros:

i cant believe i stoped using this. i've used it for 3 days now and all my "live" acne suddenly died, lost color, and decresed dramiticly in size. Also it seems to be drasticly clearing old zits/scars when used with BP.

Cons:

if you have a sensitive face i wouldnt recomend it..
it may slightly dry out your face. other than that, none !

IT WORKS. i use this once a night before washing my face. after I put on a good amount of BP. I have an oily face and it really has stoped oil production. & i dont even wash my face in the morning !

Pros:

Cleans face like no other. All the bumps leave and safer than any exfoliater. Cheap, too! I actually wash my scalp with it, too and it cleared up my dry scalp. Leaves hair shiny.

Cons:

none

Use it....it's a God send. I prayed and asked the Lord to show me what to use to clear up dandruff and He led me to use baking soda. So I tried it on my face and it's fantastic.

Cons:

My skin is not very sensitive so usually it don't get much of a burn, however if you have sensitive skin avoid it. Also very drying so make sure you MOSTURIZE!

I have combination skin, so I break out mainly on my forehead and chin, sometimes upper lip and nose. I don't have acne per say but a few scaterred pimples at all times. I use baking soda at least 3 times a week 15 min masks. When I use it I do notice change, my acne dies down, and if nothing else redness is reduced. The main benifit is my pores become clean and shrink. Make sure you use moisturize after. If you have oily skin then get your hands on some oil free moisturizer.
