Baking Soda

I have been suffering with acne since I was a teenager, with both whiteheads/blackheards and comedones on my forehead. I used baking soda every morning in my skin routine in order to try minimizing blackheads and my comedones. I scrub my face with oatmeal, wash with baking soda/water mixture using a cotton pad and then moisturize with witch hazel. I followed this routine for two months and saw no positive improvement of my acne, my blackheads remained the same and I still have the same flaring acne as before. Although I have sensitive skin it did not irritate or worsen the acne I already have present on my forehead, chin and cheeks. If you do try this I recommend doing a skin test and waiting a few days before using it because it is a strong product to apply to your face. Overall I saw no improvement and would not recommend using this product.

Last night I used this to get rid of acne marks, I left it on for only about 15 minutes because it was burning so much. I woke up this morning with two huge burns and a couple small ones. They have been oozing and stinging non stop. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Use a product that's actually meant to be put on your face.

i have very sensitive skin and was so sick and tired of my acne i put baking soda on my face only to make my acne even worse

Please DO NOT use this as a daily face wash or regularly. Baking soda is highly alkaline and that can damage your skin. Please read to learn more: [link removed] [link removed] Https://[link removed]

DONT DO IT! YOULL REGRET IT!

I tried some method I found online using some water and baking soda and my skin was very red afterwards..I also had new pimples. I just don't think this is for me

I tried it at the time when I was struggled to search for treatment to cure my moderate acne. It is few years back since I got to try this remedy and I still remember how it worsen my face condition. I used to use it as a facial scrub or facial mask. And I really dislike the result post each usage. I feel like I scrub my face with salt which is something weird to me. It did a good job on smoothing out my face but it dried my skin at the same even though I had moisturised my face to reduce the discomfort. Face became much dryer if use it as a mask. As of the dryness of my skin, my face breakout unsually. I had alot of swelling and red acnes at that moment also. So, better take a try with one or two acnes on face to see whether it gives any bad reaction before use it on your entire face.

This didn't work at all for me. I have sensitive skin so I think that's the problem. Burned my face and left it dry and irritated.

I tried this diluted with water. It stung but at the time I thought nothing of it. Later on in the day I noticed little streaks of red on my face. Blood was coming out of my pores in tiny amounts all over my face where the baking soda had been. Needless to say I discontinued use. It took 3 days for my face to stop bleeding afterwards. I've never seen anything like it before and I wouldn't class my skin as sensitive, although it is perhaps a little dry. This seems to be an incredibly rare reaction, but please do exercise caution whilst using this product.

sucks now i have acne
