Pros:

Smooth skin, refreshed look and whiteheads are going away fast. CHEAP, so cheap take-out costs many times more

Cons:

doesn't seem to be working for my deep painful cystic acne

It just may work for you! Use sensitive skin astringent after rinsing off baking soda paste so that pores are cleaned. Baking soda does not disinfect by the way, it is just an exfolliant. A tip for you guys also...throw away your shampoo. We all bathe in hot water and our pores get opened up. The shampoo lather w/ oils, dirt, bacteria get into your pores and ta-da breakouts. I use dettol soap or u can do research and find a shampoo that would not clog your pores or perhaps you use your acne cleanser hehe. And guys rinse your hair so that the nastiness flows down the back of your head, like what a gal would do. i wish dan would give us an option to view the top rated products on the website...so that others would agree to the effectiveness of baking soda.

Pros:

My skin is very sensitive and oily and I'm prone to break outs. My skin has never felt better than after using the baking soda face mask. I'm throwing out all my overpriced ance creams

Cons:

It does burn for a few seconds and is flaky when it starts to dry.

Use the baking soda and you won't be sorry. I'm 30 years old and have tried everything you can imagine since I was 15 years old. I gave it a try after reading the reviews on here, and I won't go back to anything else. My skin looks the best it has it years!

Pros:

-Noticably smoother & clearer skin.
-Reduces any oils right away
-Gives skin a clean feeling

Cons:

-Burning effect
-Redness after depending on skin type
-Mask flakes off after drying

I mix baking soda, water, & hydrogen peroxid into something as pastey as I can get. I left it on until it flaked. It worked pretty well for me. My skin feels great, but it can be somewhat red & the burning during the process made me think I would be very sensitive. It all goes away though & your skin will look the desired way you want it. It's great for blackheads also. They look much smaller after using this.

Pros:

Actually works!

Cons:

None

I add a small ammount of baking soda to my Proactiv face wash twice a day. Massage gently and rinse thoroughly. Never scrub skin! I used to scrub and have stopped. Follow with full strength organic unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. (Skip toner) Then use Proactiv repair lotion and a very mild organic face lotion. I love Origins. Scrubbing will only keep acne from healing. I also stopped using whitening toothpaste. Have been doing this for the past week and my skin looks amazing!

Pros:

I loved this! It TOTALLY WORKS!

Cons:

It stings, but it's worth it

I'm 17, and my Prom is in a week. I've tried everything to rid mysellf of acne. Creams, washes, ect. You name it, I've tried it. All those whould take aqbout 2 weeks to show results, then stopped working after a short period. I was desperate for a solution for prom, especially since my crush will be taking me. I tried this, and it started working after the first application! my pimples were smaller, and less painful. I used peroxide and baking soda. I'd put it on for about 20 mins, wash it off, then put ALoe Vera on. SO WORKS!!!! I'm so happy!!!

Pros:

literally INSTANTLY removed blackheads and left my skin ridiculously smooth

Cons:

got very red and had a pretty bad burning sensation, but it was worth it, but i heard it stops doing it after a few uses

this is worth using.. try not to scrub too hard or itll burn more than it has to. i had black heads that you could notice easily, and i noticed em especially. i used it once, and i couldnt see a single black head, i couldnt stop smilin like a fag hahaha.. but its amazing that i tried poppin my black heads and usin meds and scrubs for years, and after ONE damn use, this removed them within seconds.. i was kind of angry i didnt use it sooner.. best part is i opened a cabinet and it was already there.. no need to spend any cash.. my skin is smooth as hell now too.. if you have visible pores or blackheads, use it. i just rubbed in small circular motions and bam, the second i washed the sh*t off i was amazed.. i used a noxzema mask afterwards and the the two treatments interacted and made my face brighter and clearer than ive ever seen it.. its like a damn miracle

Pros:

It smoothens out your skin, minimizes your pores, helps your pores heal faster, somewhat evens out your skin tone and overall makes you feel better about yourself. (This description is built from the benefits I've seen about my own face.
Not smel

Cons:

Could give you a bit of a frosty cold kind of sensation
It will dry out your skin a little and after you use the blend as a kind of mask/scrub you can see a bits and pieces of your skin will peel
Lightens your skin (or however you look at it)

It has worked the best out of the other treatments I've tried, even recommended dermatologist treatments and products (which smelt). I've tried benzoyl peroxide (it made my face red, and caused pimples at other places so it was like healing some pimples while causing other pimples in other places... yeah.) No lies. I've tried salicylic acid as well. It had not really help either. It made my pimples a lot bigger than usual. Another advantage I've found in baking soda mixed with water once a night is the fact that it had not caused a 'worse before it gets better' effect, not involving with the acne at least. It is also cheaper than most of the treatments that you'll find. Give this a try. :)

Pros:

*great exfoliant
*gentle enough to use everyday
*has noticeably helped my skin & reduced appearance of scars

none!

Who needs the expensive stuff out there when something as simple and cheap as baking soda does the trick? I'm never buying another face scrub.
