Pros:

Helps clear reddness, and pimple appear less noticeable! Its a lot ceaper than acne products, and even works better than some of them.

Cons:

A little reddness at first but it goes away. Dose not completly get rid of big pimples, but will dry them up.

Try it! I mix some baking soda, with a little water so its like a paste. The apply to trouble spots for 10 minutes, rinse, and pat face dry.

Pros:

Leaves skin smoothe,, really cheap acne fix, don't forget to moisturize afterwards!!

Cons:

Can tingle a bit...taste disgusting don't put it near your mouth lol Will dry out skin so use moisturizer after!!

I mix a teaspoon with my cleanser, sometimes I mix alot of baking soda and some water and make a mask. I'm black and dark skinned so redness isn't really an issue, nor do I have really bad acne I only get a pimple like once a month if that. However when I get them I get little black scars on my face. The bs helps make them less visible and and I actually was experiencing a breakout the first night I used bs and it took it away in 3days!!! I also noticed my pores look smaller , which is grrreeat since I don't use foundation or concealer etc. Oh Definately moisturize after using it!!!

Pros:

Just washed it off, pores I was upset about before I applied it have shrunken considerably, though not completely gone. (Yet!)

Cons:

Mild sensation when first applied... but I kinda liked it.

I just washed this off my face a few minutes ago after being a first time user and leaving it on for 20 minutes. My face has suffered no redness, in fact I found a decrease in redness since I've removed it and my face looks like it has an almost matte finish.. well minus the blemishes! I found no difference in those small annoying little bumps most people have but my large inflamed acne has cooled down a bit. :] excited to continue use!

Pros:

Works GREAT for acne scars

Cons:

Doesn't really help with acne, burns like h***

I have a LOT of acne scars on my forehead and I noticed a big difference in acne scares. It burns really bad the first couple of times you use it, but I got use to it. Overall I'd recommend it for acne scars but not acne, cuz it didn't help me. I mixed it with a little hydrogen peroxide and an acne spot treatment with salicylic acid. Use it as a mask with a liquid or mix it with your face wash.

Pros:

Clear Skin, soft, blackheads started to dissipate quickly, reduction in oil and pimples.

Cons:

Stings a little but what acne treatment doesn't?

It is so amazing! I steam my face, adding in a few green tea leaves, then use the baking soda (that way it can get into the opened pores and break it up, then close them.) then I rinse it off, rinse with cold water, then I apply a honey mask for 15 minutes after that...it takes me 30 minutes to do all of this but if you do it once a week I promise your skin will do amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Cuts down on redness and size of pimples. But you should leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Try a test patch near your nose were the skin is sensitive and wait 30 minutes to make sure your skin can handle it. It does cause a mild burning sensation.

Cons:

The burning feeling on your skin. It is best to do this mask at the end of the day so any redness and tightness can clear by morning.

Will work for most lighter skin tones. Darker skinned people should go with a honey mask for 30 minutes 3 times a week.

Pros:

cleans deep down clogged pores, makes my skin really really soft and smooth after use (depending on how you would apply it)

Cons:

not much cons so far, i've only started using it and actually liking its results.. but it tastes ewww when some got to my mouth while rinsing xD

the results depend on how each and everyone of us use this. I used mine with oil control facial wash, and a pore minimizing facial wash.. but, idk.. I bet the result would be awesome no matter how you would clean your face with baking soda. (4 smileys because I have just started using baking soda)

Pros:

helps reduce acne a bit, very cheap

Cons:

doesn't do that much for acne, have to keep it on for 30 to 40 minutes

I recommend using this if you have light acne. For Moderate or severe, it won't do that much.it's worth a try...
