Cons:
Can really irritate you if you scrub too hard! Make sure to moisturize afterwards too.
I've used this for over a year now, day & night, and its been the BEST TREATMENT I've ever tried. Make a light scrub/masque and leave it on for 20-30 minutes once a day. Then make a small paste at night and use it to dab on spot treatments to sleep in.. (make sure to change your pillow case everyday because it will be messy!) but it works wonders in the morning!! I absolutely can't live without this now! I have 4 huge boxes in my cabinet, stocked up for the next few months already! Try it! But remember to go gentle at first!

Pros:
It gets rid of my pimples and other blemishes, and it also got rid of redness and gave my skin a shine- Also, its easy to make (just mix water and baking soda to form a paste and spread it out on your face) and only takes 5 mins. once a day !!! :)
Cons:
overall there arent really cons-
-it has a funny taste (as other treatments do)
-and a slight tingly feeling ... but nothing to complain about :)
IT WORKS WONDERS FOR ANY SKIN TYPE!!! YOU SEE GREAT RESULTS IN DAYS!!! TRY IT, TRY IT, TRY IT!!!

Pros:
Cheap !
Cons:
abosolutely nothing !
I'm 15 years old and I've been stuggling with acne sinse I was 9 years old ! I've tried Pro active and it didn't make my face any better, infact it made it worse! I've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on products that made my face worse all these years when I could have been using baking soda for 1.00 !
I highly recommend this.
I have very very sensitive skin and it makes your skin soft, rejuvinated and brings up your self confidence.
So trust me on this one and try it out, what are you waiting for?!

Pros:
I love it, my skin feels great!
I put it in an old cinnamon spice jar so I can shake it into my hand anytime I wash my face. Just make sure you recap it and don't use a season salt jar unless you want your face to smell like that!
Cons:
Don't leave it on for too long or it will burn. You can take a break for a couple of days if you overdo it, otherwise just exfoliate and rinse. I swear by it, so just consider this con a warning label :)
I started using baking soda when a friend recommended it a couple of years ago. I had really bad acne for about 10 years and now it's pretty much gone. I just wish I had figured this out before I spent a bunch of money on other products that just made it worse or didn't work at all. I highly recommend it, just take it easy at first.
You can make it into a paste and leave it on for a couple of minutes, but you can also gently exfoliate with it and wash it off immediately, at least until your skin gets used to it or as a daily regimen, depends on your skin. Thing is, baking soda has an alkalinity of about 8.5, so just like a weak acid, it can burn if left on for too long.

Definitely good results after 2 days (even decreases severity for me after the 1st day).

slight burning
Cheap and effective.

Pros:
Great for exfoliating,cleansing, and controlling oily skin! Does not burn. My face started to glow. Looks brighter. Spent under $2.
Cons:
none
Major oily skin. I tried tons of products and guess what works the best? BAKING SODA...! OMG!! Why did I have to suffer with cystic acne for so many years. Seems like it never ended. Just washed my face with cleanser, used baking soda in the evening, but did not leave it on for a certain amount of time. Just rubbed it gently on face and rinsed it off. Used vinager (regular). Let the vinager dry and used aloe vera next. Finally, I put the moisturizer from the acne kit and voila! My face started looking cleaner and less oily with in a week! Face is still healing. But looking better than ever! No more cystic acne...wehoo!

Pros:
It's cheap, it cleans blackheads because of the granules, and I have oily skin so it really helps to clean my pores out. After washing my face I feel like my skin can breathe again.
Cons:
(I've never found that it stung, but I massage the baking soda & water mixture very gently into my skin)
Cheap. Effective. Just don't SCRUB your face with it, and you'll be fine. Plus, baking soda is antibacterial and zits thrive on bacteria.
January 24, 2009
Pros:
Great! Cheap, smooths skin, gets rid of blackheads (if you use the steam method and then use baking soda right after), clears skin, makes your skin look and feel pretty healthy.
Cons:
Leaves your face sort of dry, so you must use lotion right after.
Stings when you dont make it PASTY!! (You must mix it in your hand with a bit of water so that its pasty first, dont just put it on your face like an idiot)
Gets Messy.
it's cheap and it works...just lotion your face right after, and make sure you mix it with a little water, enough to make it pasty.

Pros:
Is natural, leaves skin soft, clean, lightened dark spots, my sudden adult-after years of no skin prob- normal, again.. acne gone in few days- NOW FACE IS PH BALANCED & NOT DRIED OUT WITH PAINFUL MILD ACNE BREAKOUTS!
Cons:

My skin steps.
1- wake up, wash face with my "equate"brand (like nutrogena) saliclylic acid face soap with warm water & a face scrb pad- lightly scrub- NOT harshly. RINSE. DRY with CLEAN tissue-not used towel! (believe it or not,i used to useany towel..it used to not matter,tho..) 2. then i uses my face astringent, with about 45 % alchohol denat init, (like sea breeze- read ingredients- alch. denat lightens & heals scars for me!) use on a clean cotton. let absorb & dry in skin. 3 i write my goals for day, as this is working on skin...then i go rinse face..dry with clean tissue.... 4 AND THIS IS WHERE I PUT MY "BAKING SODA & WATER" (ALREADY MIXED & SITTING IN A LITTLE PUMP. pUT IN HANDS, APPLY ALL OVER FACE & NECK-WHERE EVER BREAK OUTS ESPECIALLY. I DONT GET IN EYES AREA.
***LET DRY- ONLY TAKES A MIN OR TWO!! THEN MAY START TO TINGLE- BURN...NOW, JUST RINSE. DAB FACE WITH CLEAN TISSUE. AND APPLY YOUR SUNBLOCK/FACE LOTION. I HOPE THIS WORKS 4 U!! I BELIEVE I

Pros:
I dont not have bad acne but have been having breakouts frequently,I have been using baking soda for 4 nights only and already i see an improvement,it seems to clean the skin better, i have stopped pinching my pimples
Cons:
I am not sure what the long terms effect will be since baking soda is acidic,i've heard that it can darken the skin and i an Indian with a fairly dark complextion.
It's cheap and has made my skin feel better than the Dermalogica face wash ( and other verrry expensive items ) i've been using. Go ahead and give it a try, i doubt you regret !!!!!
Pros:
Natural, Cheap, Effective
