Pros:

Reduces redness

Cons:

Skin chips.

I say 3.50 due to the cost of baking soda to obtain these results. :) But it reduces alot of redness and puffy-ness that alot of young adults and late ages really need to concentrate on. Though if too much is used, gets kinda flaky. Ever see Austin Powers: Goldmember? Not to be making and sexual jokes, but it can get so dry your skin can peel off.

Pros:

Cheap, Easy, Effective

Cons:

Need to moisturize more, mildly irretating, a little messy

When I baking soda a few weeks ago I had about 12 spots about half of those the deep hard sore spots that take forever to heal. Within 2 days of nightly treatments my really bad spots started to shrink away. It was like magic. Usually these spots take a couple weeks to a month to completely go away. I was also just starting to get a new one of the cystic kind, you know the kind you can literally feel growing on your face and the baking soda seemed to stop it from continuing to grow and it was completely shrunk away after 2 days to nothing. My skin also seems less oily. I use extra moisturizer at night though to prevent dry flaking skin. And to reduce redness and irritation I pat the baking soda and water mixture on instead of rubbing it on. By the morning my face does not look red at all. Since I have started this I havent gotten any new cyst acne, I used to get atleast 1-2 new ones a week. I have only gotten a few very little surface spots. Everyone should atleast try this

Pros:

very visible result! cheap!

Cons:

none

wow yest was my first attempt of using this.Was very skeptical at first and I also worried it will irritate my face. Hence,I started the allergy test on my hand and neck for 5mins and everything was fine:p I mixed 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of water, this is for the cleansing. After my face was cleansed, I mixed 2 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of water to make the paste then apply on those acne spots I was worried as my face looked very red after I washed it off but this morning when I woke up, I was amazed by the results! Wow, just one use, my face looked brighter and some of the marks have been lightened! AMAZING

Pros:

Gets rid of acne
QUICK FIX
soft smooth skin

Cons:

Dry Skin
Stings

It gets rid of acne fast, like if you need to go to some occasion soon or something. And its cheap and fast RECOMMENDATION: not that i have tried it yet, but i think next time, don't add too much baking soda? cause that would really make your skin dry. i guess add a little more honey to thicken it? so that way it is still a paste, but not mostly from baking soda. AND ALSO... don't let the baking soda dry up completely, because that would be flaky and messy and (probably) when it begins to dry up your skin most. SO AFTER, use moisturizer immediately, something acidic/higher in pH to balance the baking soda which has low pH. OR.. I've done some research, but try a sea salt solution (cleanser) right after to balance the acidity again. The sea salt solution also helps treat the acne, not to mention balance out the pH again, so win-win situation i guess. TRYYYYYY IT.

Pros:

It is cheap, and if used properly, is effective without over-drying.

Cons:

None when used in moderation.

I wanted to switch to a milder, non-abrasive facial cleanser. Cetaphil was recommended to me, and it is great except that it doesn't take off makeup well at all. A friend suggested dashing a small bit of baking soda into my hand and mixing it with the cleanser. This works wonderfully! I don't scrub, and I don't leave this on as a mask. I just work the cleanser gently onto my face and neck for about 10-15 seconds and then rinse. I follow this up with a very light application of Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner. Since adding the baking soda and using this routine twice a day, my skin has cleared up beautifully and pretty much stayed that way. My face is also left with a smooth, soft texture, and is never dried out.

Pros:

It does clear up the face and make the skin smooth. Make sure you rub smoothly with water.

Cons:

Doesn't seem to work for some people.

If baking soda doesn't help with clearing your acne, you can always whiten your teeth by brushing with baking soda. Tastes salty, but the you will notice your teeth being whiter after a few days. If you can deal with the taste, swallow the alkaline water as you brush. Being alkaline is known to prevent and cure many diseases.
