Pros:

OMG! i loved the new skin feel after I exfoliated!

Cons:

You must instantly have to add a moisterizer such as olive oil.

I have been using retine for a year! I want to stop using it and replace it with something else. Arm and Hammrt is going to be my new exfoiliant! Im only going to use it about every two weeks though!

Pros:

Keeps skin mostly clear. Seriously shrinks big ugly pimples that are ready to pop.

Cons:

Messes up your skin in the long run, making it more vulnerable to dryness and infection.

Used baking soda paste from July to November. It DOES control acne very well. Sometimes I'd get a nasty pimple if I didn't use it for a few days, but it nearly disappeared if I applied baking soda paste and left it on for ten minutes. Dries right up. HOWEVER, now my skin is red, flaky almost raw in places. Apparently baking soda screws up the pH balance of your skin. Facial skin is slightly acidic, which helps protect it from infection and damage. Baking soda raises the pH balance of your skin, making it less acidic. Probably doesn't sound like a big deal, especially when you're desperate to clear up bad acne. But I can say from experience that raising the pH level of your skin is a Very Bad Thing. At most, I will probably use baking soda as a spot treatment. I will no longer use it as a cleanser. Too bad, because it did a good job controlling my acne. Note: Some people "balance" the effect by using apple cider vinegar as a toner. I'm not prepared to experim

Pros:

Reduced Redness
Made Skin Feel Smoother
Dried Up Pimples

Cons:

Made Skin VERY Dry (You Must Moisturize after)
Stings and smells a bit
Messy

It's messy, it stings and it's a lot of work. But it gets the job done fast. I mixed some baking soda with warm water and a bit of honey. Made it into a thick paste by adding more baking soda. Applied it over my whole face for 10 min (Until it was dry) I rinsed off with warm water. My skin feels better, and redness went away and overall it made me have more clearer looking skin. Try it.

Pros:

skin feels softer, smoother and clearer, skin becomes less oily

Cons:

stings when you apply it the first time. and may cause redness(depends on your skin) but the redness will disappear in a short while.

try this. it's very good. it has no known side effects, cheap, easy to get, although it might sting a lil, it's very good. it does no harm to your skin and only makes it better. it definitely clears up unwanted acne AND acne marks. I had pretty bad acne marks on my face and it killed my confidence a lot but when i started using baking soda, i notice clearer skin and less acne break outs in just 4 days! unbelievable because normally my products which i use would not work but this certainly did work. heck, it's proven! :)

Pros:

Gave my face a nice, soft texture. It instantly became smooth to touch

Cons:

Too harsh, broke me out severely

I tried this every night for 1 wk, and i used it as a mask, kept it on for 2/3 mins, till it dried and scrubed it off. I had a lovely texture but it made my acne inflammed & red!..I broke out on my chin for the first time in 24 yrs on earth.

Pros:

it worked immediately for me!!!

Cons:

taste bad but its worth it...try mixing it with something like lemon water or just take it and get it over with :)

The promblem is my body is too acidic. So i figured to really get the acne to go away, i needed to take something to alkaline my body. I even prayed for the Lord the help me cause i have struggled for years with my skin. I started taking baking soda (1/4 of a teaspoon...i take a little more but i would start out with a fourth) every night and within 2 days my skin was almost completely healed and felt smoother than ever. Try it and if your pregnant or have high blood pressure than i would check with my doctor b/c of salt content.
