Pros:

exfoliates, tightens skin, clears acne, cleans

Cons:

none

after speaking to a make-up person at Mario T's, she recommended I exfoliate 3x's a week with one of their products I can't afford, then immediately follow up with a purifier. So my alternative was Baking Soda which I love...in between baking soda which I do about 3x's a week, i use Cetaphil as just a mild cleanser(she recommended). I use the baking soda as a paste with warm water (also good for softening hands as you are cleaning face)...then follow up with GSE (liquid grapefruit seed extract) to disinfect and help clear acne (I use a few drops from bottle then rub on face with water then rinse off) my skin is the clearest it has been in a long time. the acne OTC products actually made my skin worse.

Pros:

this is a miracle product, i swear. it unclogged my pores, it's VERY inexpensive, and it treated a lot of my acne that even proactiv couldn't treat. i've used this everyday for just one week and i already saw a visible difference within 3 days.

Cons:

it burns, but what's a little burn for a clear face [:

this stuff is amazing. you seriously shouldn't hesistate to try this. my face is uber uber sensetive and breaks out when i put ANYTHING on it. at first, i was scared that it might make my skin worse, but it's made it so much softer and so much smoother. deff worth a try!

Pros:

This is amazing! I have lived with this for almost my whole life - you MUST be consistent for cystic or sever acne it may take longer but be consistent. It has made a huge difference. It has even stopped new acne from starting! Amazing results

Cons:

None - I had very little burning.

Its all about keeping your skin clean and having a routine. You must be consistent other wise efforts go to waste. I mix it up as well, I wash with the baking soda and water every day and then twice a week I mask for 20 minutes. Persistence will pay off. For the non-believers there's nothing to lose... I am a believer.

Pros:

It's extremely cheap compared to all the products I've bought and have had little to no results with. I know exactly what's going on my face, no surprise chemicals that make things worse in the end. Plus, it takes no time at all to whip up this paste

Cons:

If you're like me and have used numerous products for your stubborn acne, then you've found your face burning/stinging at some point. There's no difference here so don't be worried about the pain of it, you've already experienced it before

After years of using product after product that just doesn't give me the WOW result I pay for, I thought I'd just be subject to continual acne and would be a slave to continual applications of concealer (which turns cakey no matter what). My fiance has perfectly clear skin and it's embarrassing for me to have him get too close to my face at times. That and I'm always worried about hugging/kissing him since my makeup invariable wipes off on him. After simple combining one TBS. and enough water to make a thick paste, using it as an exfoliator after washing (GENTLY), rinsing it off (GENTLY), and moisturizing I saw incredible results the next morning. Pimples that have remained as huge bumps for weeks have gone down dramatically and my skin is incredible soft. I plan on continuing to use this coupled with Burt's Bees earth/skin friendly products and hopefully for my wedding day, all my fiance will see is my clear and bright skin glowing through with no major make-up blocking it!

burns and drys out skin

Pros:

IT WORKS!

Cons:

I really haven't had any cons.

Its cheap. It works. If you want you can use it as a face mask over night(but be warned it gets all over the sheets, so if you have a S.O it might be a little bit annoying). So give it a try, it won't hurt ;-)
