Pros:

Actually works!

Cons:

None

I add a small ammount of baking soda to my Proactiv face wash twice a day. Massage gently and rinse thoroughly. Never scrub skin! I used to scrub and have stopped. Follow with full strength organic unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. (Skip toner) Then use Proactiv repair lotion and a very mild organic face lotion. I love Origins. Scrubbing will only keep acne from healing. I also stopped using whitening toothpaste. Have been doing this for the past week and my skin looks amazing!

Pros:

I loved this! It TOTALLY WORKS!

Cons:

It stings, but it's worth it

I'm 17, and my Prom is in a week. I've tried everything to rid mysellf of acne. Creams, washes, ect. You name it, I've tried it. All those whould take aqbout 2 weeks to show results, then stopped working after a short period. I was desperate for a solution for prom, especially since my crush will be taking me. I tried this, and it started working after the first application! my pimples were smaller, and less painful. I used peroxide and baking soda. I'd put it on for about 20 mins, wash it off, then put ALoe Vera on. SO WORKS!!!! I'm so happy!!!

Pros:

It works!

Cons:

It dries skin but that's what lotion's for!

I've had acne since I was 12 or so. I had it all over my cheeks, nose, and forehead primarily. As someone who is in entertainment, I was getting concerned because my reps were telling me that some people wanted to hire me based on head shots but seeing me in person, they were concerned about my skin. I started using baking soda, and the first day things improved! The next day things only got better and since then things just keep going uphill. I add it to my neutrogena cleanser and use it in my face wash. Then I follow by using it by itself (adding a little bit of water). I then follow with vinegar and water on a cotton ball. Then I use medicine from a dermatologist and various moisturizers. Granted my ritual might be a little excessive for some people's skin, but it's working for me and I couldn't be happier!!

Pros:

clears up pimples fast, seems to bleach those red marks left from acne very quickly, leaves skin very smooth and polished.

Cons:

when i first used it it stung a lot. i got scared and washed it off with water and had a slight rash. about 10 minutes later my redness and rash went down, and my spots had dried up.

i used this as a paste with water, and after the first use, your face gets used to the sting. first i use it as a spot treatment for a few minutes on active acne and acne prone areas (which is around my mouth), then i put it on my whole face as a scrub and wash it off gently. then i follow up with BP wash 5% and moisturise when my skin is dry. has worked realy well for the three days i have been using it!! it feels like a miracle cure!!!

Pros:

Clears skin immediately. And I like things to work fast.

Cons:

A tad drying-but not too much to stop using it. It also didn't clear up my scars.

It REALLY works. I have never considered going "Au Natural" with anything. I use at least 3 products in my hair daily, makeup over acne (a little too much) and have always used the brand names when treating my acne. Having acne on my forehead and not being able to pull up my hair ever got really annoying after one year of using brand products. Baking soda clears up acne, but failed to clear up my scars. I will continue to use it on my scars, because I have a feeling I didn't apply it right (didn't burn the first time, did the second time-but I only put it on the acne the second time).

I've just started using this, It has already made a difference! I had a lot of red marks from old acne- they have already started to fade!
