Baking Soda

Around one year ago I used this product as a paste to remove red marks rather than pimples. Initially I noticed pores would become temporarily invisible, and it creates slightly tightening feeling of the skin, which felt very smooth. However, this effect seems to lessen as your skin adapts to the product. It's usage soon became counter-productive and ended up increasing the redness, with no permanent positive effects. While this may work as a spot treatment or in heavily diluted form, it is known for destroying the skin's acid mantle (related to it's PH value), which seems to be my case. Either way, one year later, the skin is either burnt, dried or inflammed. I suggest if you use this, be very cautious and never apply it thickly or over a large amount of skin. You were warned.

IT IS THE BEST THING I'VE TRIED!! IT WORKS!!!! Im 14 and I developed acne halfway through year 7, I'm going into year 9 this year (in a month) and I will hopefully be clear by then!! I have a reaaallllyyy inflamed chin, it's like nothing I have ever seen before on other acne victims... I have red marks on both sides around my mouth and all over my forehead.... I previously tried clean and clear, neutrogena and all the other crap that didn't work for me, it made me break out even more.. I'd come home from school with 10 new pimples!!! :( i started cleansing my face woth lemon and sugar and that worked well. It completely stopped me breaking out!!! I tried other things to get rid of my red marks but I never continued with something long enough to see results. But try Baking Soda! It has to be left on long enough for results, i pour a small mountain in the middle of my palm then mix a few drops of water in it then spread it over my face and went to sleep. The next morning my skin had DEFINITELY improved!!!!! OMFG! I use braggs apple cider vinegar as a toner and I will most definitely keep this regime going (: good luck

I totally recommend this! I use the cleanser provided by Daniel OR Cetaphil whichever I have handy, sprinkle a little baking soda in my hand, then squeeze two pumps of cleanser on top in the evenings while taking a shower and wash my face gently focusing on my cheeks and sides of my face, (My problem areas). I rinse really well immediately after washing and can feel the softness IMMEDIATELY. My skin FEELS and LOOKS better as soon as I get out. To close up my pores, I do a follow-up rinse with FREEZING cold water right after, then moisturize using CETAPHIL advanced moisture face lotion. AWESOME RESULTS!!!

I had a really big pimple that was forming on my chin and I made a paste of baking soda, I kept it on until it dried out and I could already tell it was smaller. Two days later it was completely gone! This is really good.

OMG ..I have always had acne since elementary school.. and my face looked terrible.. i have used almost every product you can think of and no freaking results!! i saw a video on youtube and this female recommended using baking soda with water.. I thought it was complete B.S but i gave it a try and i noticed the differences after 2 weeks of using it.. thanks baking soda for changing my life.. i feel confident now.. I'm always smiling and taking pics :D

I started using baking soda as my daily cleanser about a week ago. Many of my zits have dried out, though I'm still unsure if it's just my own hormones or if it's actually working. My face seems brighter, and it's easier to put on my make-up, which is a plus! It leaves my face feeling fresh, and it's definitely the most effective exfoliant I've used (& I'm a St. Ives Apricot Scrub fan!). It's also super cheap and all natural,

I don't have very bad acne, just some bumps on my skin that aren't too visible but very annoying. This was so good, my skin felt really smooth and even almost instantaneously. :)

I tried this for a couple of days and did not have a good reaction to it so I stopped. It was too harsh for my combination skin, and I was gentle with it. It gave me pimples around my mouth where I never had any before. After using it I could see that my skin was sort of peeling, and not in a good way. I would recommend a gentler exfoliant, like right now I am using one with pumice micro particles and it's working really well. I have light acne, and my biggest problem is clogged pores and a couple of pimples. Also, maybe I didn't stick to it enough to see great results, because it seems to work for a lot of people, but I would say be careful if you are looking for something gentle.

I used this for the first time last night. I rubbed it in for maybe a minute or less then let it sit and put extra on my pimples the washed it off after 2 minutes. I use evoo as a moisturizer day and night and i massage it in for a minute or so. Then i use vit. e as a spot treatment for my scars all of this together lightened my scars after one use. I wouldn't reccommened doing this everyday. But it works great.

works great ! :D its fast and effective & your skin looks clear right after (:
