Baking Soda

First time I tried it it burned my skin a lot. But my skin adjusted to it and it worked for about 3 days, but then it stopped working. Might work for you though!

it works if you use it certain days but when you use it and you later rinse it off it leaves your skin so smooth and feels AWWWmazing but if you use cold water .

it hurts my face . didnt really do much for my acne.

I tried it once as a mask, i fins it's more mess than i want, read a lot that makes skin dry and did not work for me, i have tried other treatments that i can see at least a slight result within the first application. This wasnt one of them.

I used this method a LoNG time ago. I have mild acne but not from this! I remeber being soo upset after using this. my skin was so rough after only 1 use which I left on for only about 5 minutes. It turned my whole forhead which is my problem area where I applied it turned into a dark shade rough brown. It was wiered looking with my light skin tone with a perfect line over my eyebrows a totally different shade. I also saw no improvement but only used 1 time bcuz of the terrible like rash it lft. My skin got sensetive and peeled for a while. I gave 2 stars bcuz I only used 1 time, so I'm still not sure if it would have worked. I rlly rathered the acne than the hidious rash which is gone now but was agony.

I guess it depends on your skin. It made my acne worse after the first time.

It takes a lot for my skin to go red. But this little ****** has well and truly messed up my skin. I applied it with a little water and massaged my skin GENTLY for about a few seconds then it stung like hell, I quickly washed it off. nd now half my face is so red, the next day it was still red and my skin is rough to touch and even when you look at my skin, it looks very dry and the texture just does not look right. PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS!!!!!!!!!!

I started using baking soda because of the positive reviews on this site. I tried it for two weeks and, by the end of the second week, my skin was burning and extremely dry. No amount of moisturizer helped. I guess it works for a lot of people, but not for me.

I needed a cheap exfoliator, and this seemed to work for a lot people. I made the recommended paste, and left it on for twenty minutes. I was expecting it to burn, and it did. Oh well. All for the greater good. But when I washed it off, my face was broken out in a horrible non-acne bumpy rash. Shame, because I really wanted this to work. People with really sensitive skin are forewarned.

I guess it's worth a shot because of the price, and the box says to try it as a skin smoother/softener. But for me it didn't clear up the redness and actually caused more break-outs. My suggestion to people who usually don't get bad cases of acne, but are having an unusual break-out is to STOP over working your skin! Trying a lot of products and home remedies will only aggravate your face more! Believe me, I've been trying to clear up my face for over a month! Finally I just gave up, and here's what seems to be helping me: I've just been washing my face really quick twice a day with regular bar soap, and then following with a light moisturizer. I tell ya, a lot of the redness went away and my skin seems to be getting back to normal! Sounds crazy but just give up on EVERYTHING you've been trying and give your face a rest. Hope my advice helps!
