Pros:

Dries my pimples otut like no other. Even my big inflammed whiteheads that werent coming to a head went down significantly. Also the first thing I've used that brough down the redness and size of a cyst overnight

Cons:

Can cause redness obviously

I read all the reviews here and decided to give this a try. I put the stuff on expecting only to leave it on for 20 minutes or so but I never rlly experienced any burning sensation. Only a little bit where I had just popped a pimple. Anyways I was desperate because I just started Carley's clean and clear and I knew I was gonna have an intial breakout with that but I was getting HUGE inflammed whiteheads that were taking forever to come to a head and then once I got a cyst, that has been sitting there since Sunday, I was really pissed off. SO I left the baking soda on overnight. Ya it was a chance but my face is tough after using BP for six years and BP doesnt work for me anymore no matter how much I use, When I woke up the aforementioned big pimples were reduced big time. Ya my skin was a little red but it was worth it. I wont do this every night but it's great just in case of emergenices and I'm planning on doing a face mask every night if my face can take it.

Pros:

Leave skins smooth and acne free if used regularly. A quick fix in a about a day.

Cons:

Can be harsh for some people and might burn.

I've have had acne since I was 10. I've used everything! PROACTIV, MURAD, ANTIBIOTIC PILLS, CLINDAMYCIN PHOSPHATE and a million other things. While antibiotics worked for me amazingly and cleared most of my skin it did not last. 2 years later I found that my skin has gotten used to it and it is barely working anymore. Now i just use Oxy daily wash and do this every other day at night and my face is pretty much cleared up. I'm 17 now and my skin has never looked better and trust me I HAD IT BAD!

Pros:

It made my skin really smooth and took all the redness out with the first use.

Cons:

I had to rinse forever because there were little granules of baking soda left everywhere.

It was my first time using the mask and I'm extremely amazed with the results. I spent all this time and money buying heavy duty products when this little remedy was in my house all along. I'm extremely impressed and hope I keep getting great results.

Pros:

Brings out whiteheads, smoothes skin

Cons:

Burning sensation (but it goes away)

I used to have problem free skin...When I went away for college (Tallahasse, FL), my skin did not agree with the water. Since then, I've been fighting pimples here and there...I started using the baking soda and water mixture about 1 week ago, and it's working! I use it every other day, because I leaned quickly that the burning only gets worse if used too often...Also, I've found that once the white heads start to surface, they may leave blemishes after you pop them...TRY THIS: Crack open an egg! Spread the yolk of the egg all over your face...The yolk helps to draw out oil and helps heal blemishes...So far, so good!!!

Pros:

Really clears up skin quickly

Cons:

Slightly messy to apply; dries out skin a little (but moisturizer fixes it)

I use baking soda mixed with water as a scrub daily and the difference in my skin is amazing. It's really reduced the number of pimples I see - it even reduced the number during my monthly period-related breakout, which is nothing short of miraculous. It doesn't get rid of every single pimple, so I'm combining it with a tea tree oil gel which I spot treat with.
