Cons:
You look silly with white splotches on your face at night... a fact which all members of your family will point out. ;)
I'm in my mid-40's, so I worry about overly drying products now that lines and wrinkles threaten. I also have sensitive skin that burns with a lot of cleansers and moisturizers. And, I still get stress zits that erupt from deep within (the kind I got as a teen). Before I go to bed, and after washing my face, I dab a paste of baking soda and water onto any spots that are causing me grief. When I wake up, those nasty stress zits are half the size they were before. NOTHING has ever worked as well for me. P.S., Here's my facial cleanser (I never use soap or acne products): mix equal portions of olive oil, honey and plain yogurt. Olive oil will NOT clog pores and is rich with antioxidants. Honey has natural antibacterial properties. Yogurt helps correct your face's pH balance. Rub the mix onto your face and rinse with warm water. Feels oily when you rinse... but after you towel dry your face, you'll see that it leaves your face very clean (excellent makeup remover) and moisturized.

Pros:
Makes my skin super soft and it's the cheapest stuff I've tried.
Cons:
It can sting on problem areas and it can flake off easily.
I've suffered with really bad acne for years. I had it everywhere. The later I got in my teens the worse it got and I tried everything. I had acne on my face, chest, back, and it even spread to my arms. It was humiliating and traumatizing. This is my system:
I mix baking soda with a little warm water and I squirt in some lemon juice to make a paste. I leave the paste on my skin for about 30 minutes. I wash it off and I sometimes put on some Clearasil 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Tinted Cream which I leave on overnight. I make sure to drink lots of water and eat lots of carrots. Carrots are supposed to be really good for your skin. I've tried a number of different products and seem to grow immune quite quickly, but this is definitely different. Even though it can sting I've seen massive results in my skin. I haven't had skin like this since I was a kid. It's worth the mess to me and I look incredible. Not only has it tremendously helped my skin, my pores are smaller and tighter

Pros:
I heard about using baking soda on zits. So I figured why not give it a try.
AMAZINGGG! I saw a difference within two dayss! Its been two days and I already see zits gone from my shoulders and wayy smaller and almost gone from my face.
Cons:
Its burns/stings and doesnt stop until you wash it ALL of. I generally have a high pain tolerance and I jus wanted my zits to be gone so I just bit the bullet and delt with it. Trust me the stinging is WELL WORTH the results!
Gently massage into your problemed areas. I used wet washcloth and added a couple pinches of baking soda to it...dont water it down too much or it will just dissovle and not work.
I know some of you like to leave it on over night, Im sure this would work ok on some, but I think it might try my skin out wayy to much and cause more damage then help. Id say dont leave it on longer then 10-15 min. Dont be alarmed with the stinging, its all worth it trust me. If you are like and are fustrating with ruthless pimples, DEFINITLY give this a try. I used arm and hammer baking soda which is like super cheap from the local grocery store..idk how much $ exactly. Also seems to get rid of zits fast. So if you have an upcoming event and you need speedy results, reach for the baking soda! I love it..Im so glad I know about it.

BOTTOM LINE!
October 2, 2009
Pros:
Clear Skin, soft, blackheads started to dissipate quickly, reduction in oil and pimples.
Cons:
Stings a little but what acne treatment doesn't?
It is so amazing! I steam my face, adding in a few green tea leaves, then use the baking soda (that way it can get into the opened pores and break it up, then close them.) then I rinse it off, rinse with cold water, then I apply a honey mask for 15 minutes after that...it takes me 30 minutes to do all of this but if you do it once a week I promise your skin will do amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:
even skin tone, clean feeling, major redness reducer, dries pimples in a gentle way (unlike panoxly, proactive, retin-a, ETC.)
Cons:
none so far
i have only used the baking soda mask a couples times and so far it is the best acne treatment i have ever used. it would have taken me weeks with other products to get the same results as ONE baking soda mask. it dries and shrinks pimples almost instantly. i just hope the is keeps working this well

Pros:
It cleared up my breakout and my forehead, fading out my blackheads, and cleaned deeply. I was looking for an alternative and found this to product to be extremely helpful and effective.
Cons:
Nothing, I didn't have problems. Even though it's drying, I use a spritz of water, lavender oil, tea tree oil, grapeseed oil for moisturizing.
IT.WORKS. Works fast! I use it 2x's a day. My breakouts are minimal now. I developed a red rash on my face and I started using baking soda and it dried up the pimples as well as the redness. I don't need astringent afterward either. Over the years I've been to dermatologists, have wasted $$$$$ on Neutrogena, Oxyclean, Clean & Clear products, and none of them made my skin look lighter, brighter, cleaner and clearer than good old fashioned baking soda. I threw away all of my C&C products. For me, baking soda works 100% better. Folks don't believe the hype from these products because they're ineffective. BAKING SODA TRULY WORKS!

Pros:
Intense burning at the start, showing how much the sh*tty regimens ive used in the past have damaged my skin. Post washing blemishes reduced! Why not try this, did I say REDUCED! 5 Minutes and the future looks bright
Cons:
I didnt try this earlier
5 minutes ago I was travelling site to site to find a new acne regimen. No immediate way of treating it right. As I walked by my counter there was a box of baking soda sitting there. So like hunny I mixed it with a bit of warm water and applied as a paste on my face and neck. Gets scary after that intense burning. While the entire time this is going on your thinking Im ruining my skin, Im ruining my skin! 5 minutes after applying the paste wash it off. Voila, your face is still there it didnt burn completely off. And blemishes are down, If they were in the balcony of the theatre they are now sitting front row center. Try this cheap treatment I DARE YOU!
Pros:
Cheap, available everywhere, highly effective, safe.
