Pros:

It worked in hours.

Cons:

Well no my face isn't clear.

It made many current pimples i had dry up and they look like they'll be healed in a few days. And it didn't dry my skin and kept it pretty smooth and a lot less oily.

Makes your skin fell smooth,gets rid of pimples,blackheads,whiteheads,and if you have flaky skin,it will clear that up too! AMAZING!!!!!! It fades acne scars too!!!

Cons:

When you take it off your face is red for a few minutes,but then it goes away really fast!!!

It works so well. If you are one of those people who have tried every product out there, this will be the last that you try. After one day,half of my pimples were gone!!!!!!!

Pros:

Softer, smoother, more even complexion after first use. Oil production has minimized and redness has dramatically improved

Cons:

Texture wise, it's different than the cleansers I'm used to, but not to the point it's uncomfortable

The most effective thing I've ever used on my face! I've tried Clean & Clear's and Neutrogena's Acne Kits, Proactive several times, Honey & nutmeg, Aspirin masks, Aloe Vera sap, Colon Cleansing, Strict Dieting, Increasing Water intake, Flax seed oil, Lysine, Vitamin E supplements, Zinc...I've about had it! It's super affordable and worth a try. My regimine: 1) CLEANSE: Baking soda + water to form a paste 2) TONE; cotton ball soaked in water + apple cider vinegar 3) Moisturizer of choice, preferably unscented & formulated for sensitive skin 4) SPOT TREAT: in the PM only. I use Dr. Jeff's Acne Spot Treatment 5) MASK: once a week, 1 egg white whipped with a few squeezes of lime juice. I suggest toning AFTER a mask regimine. The lime juice is optional. I add it because of it's exfoliant properties which in turn I've heard helps to fade away hyperpigmentation (those dark spots left after our horrid little friends) Good Luck everyone!

Pros:

A miracle

Cons:

Don't use it everyday. 3-4 times in a week. Once under control stop using it until it starts to return. Must give the skin a break let the skin reproduce the oils. Yes it does burn on damaged skin and this will reduce by the 3rd application.

I don't have acne, but dermatitis and itchy bad skin until it bled. Cortisone cream weakened the skin and made my hands split under pressure of just typing or carrying a bag. I now have my fingerprints back. I have suffered for 20years.

Pros:

Cheap, readily available everywhere.. great for combination skin

Cons:

I cant think of any!

I was frustrated by my half oily and half normal skin type.. I tried all cosmetic scrubs, all home remedies that were poseted on the net but baking soda is the best way to deal with combination skin. Blackheads, large pores are particular problems of combination skin.. Use the BS and water paste as a facewash and u will never need to use any facewash, toner or astringent! But do not wash your face with the BS paste more than twice a day.. After one application, i noticed that my pores had shrunk, i could hardly see any blackheads and my skin was looking fresher and fairer apart from being smooth! i am in love with this paste.. But be sure to use a moisturiser after washing your face.. I personally use a calamine lotion after the BS paste as it soothes down the skin irritations it any and gives an additional glow..

Pros:

Makes skin feel soft and reduces inflammation around the pimple(s) by A LOT!

Cons:

Stings just barely, but otherwise none.

So, basically, I have graduation pictures being taken in 2 days, and I am desperate and willing to try any acne remedy there is. My acne that is found on my forehead isn't THAT bad, but I would say that it is moderate. This is what I did with my baking soda: I put some of the baking soda in a glass. Then, I added about 7 mL of cool water. The mixture should be thick, so if it is too diluted, add more baking soda. Stir with your finger. Put the paste-like substance on the spot(s) with the most inflammation. Rub in circular motion. After about 1-2 minutes, stop rubbing, and rinse face with cool water untill ALL baking soda is gone. If your skin dries up a little like mine did, just put on some aloe vera jelly and it should help. This method reduces inflammation very well. I am planning on using this method approximately 5 more times before my pictures.
