Pros:

started using after reading posts on this site. saw noticable improvement after 3 days. no new blemishes when i was used to getting on avg about 3 new cysts a week! also began to clear old scars. would def recommend it!

Cons:

tastes bad if it gets in your mouth. i use it as a cleanser in the shower so makes more easily able to run in my mouth.

you name it ive tried it. ive been suffering for acne for 6 years (im now 25) and this is the first time i can say im seeing a definite improvement in my skin just by switching to baking soda as my cleanser. i also use benzaclin and finacea (i alternate nights) but when i added baking soda in the mix it seemed to make a faster more drastic improvement. plus its so cheap it beats buying $50 cleanser elsewhere!

Pros:

Mega cheap, works half decent

Cons:

doesn't reduce for me

I have been using the water / baking soda combo fur about the past week, and i am seeing no reduction in pimples. There was a couple days i skipped using it and a break out came after that, so i know it was doing something, just not enough.

Pros:

Good, cheap solution for acne treatment.

Cons:

I have only used it for a day, but have not yet seen a difference. I will be patient, and continue using it.

I have had bad acne problems for the last two months or so. I tried all kinds of Creams (Benzol Peroxide...) and Salyctic Acid Treatments (Clearasil...) and Astringents (Seabreeze...). None of these worked on my acne, which was all over my chin and around my mouth. I felt like there was nothing I could do. I randomly found this baking soda solution, and after reading hundreds of good reviews, I decided to try it myself. I made the baking soda paste and applied it to my face and left it on overnight. I could not tell an immediate difference this morning. I again applied it to my chin in the morning for about 15 min, and then washed it off with cool water. I am going to try it again tonight, and I will let yall know how it turns out. I just really hope this works, as my acne looks pretty bad. Thank you for all your help with this problem.

Pros:

Skin is smoother

Cons:

Moisturise after using, might be dry
A little irritation near the lips

I'm not sure if skin is softer, marks turn lighter, pores become smaller after application but i'm 100% sure that skin is smoother

Pros:

The price

Cons:

None

I have spent sooooooooooo much money on facial creams and toners and now I feel so stupid for doing it. I have only used it 2 days and I can already see a difference in my pore size and blackheads. Love it! Store brand baking soda is even cheaper!

Pros:

As an exfoliant: smoother face after, exfoliater

Cons:

kinda messy if used as mask. dry pieces can fall off

it worked good my acne improved for a week i was doing honey mask before shower then baking soda mask after shower. but after that first week my acne got BAD. I realize that u should only use this as an exfoliant. not a mask it has the same effects but less time. also i wouldn't exfoliate for than like twice a week. very cheap exfoliant, definantly work into your routine but DON"t only use this. I though i finally found something that worked and only used it but my acne got really bad

Pros:

It makes my (acne free) skin part feels so smooth.

Cons:

The acne are still there. And I'm seeing more are developing on my forehead.

This reminds me of how my proactiv worked. Doesn't do anything to the acne, but the rest of the skin complexion improved by far. I'll keep using it anyway. It's nice to have skin this smooth ^_^

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Doesn't work

I used it once, and when I woke up, the few pimples I had were all amplified.. I'm scared that if I keep using it will only get worse.
