Baking Soda

I started using this stuff as a cleanser w/water about a year ago. Seems to buff dead skin cells without irritating. Well, it's a year later, tried some other stuff (jojoba) and just broke out terribly - ugh. Now, I was trying to remember back when I had great skin - it was down to: -Thoroughly Clean Face Wash w/Extra Gentle Buf Puf -Baking Soda Paste w/Water in shower (2-3x wk, as needed) -Proactiv toner, then lotion - voila! This, for me, gave me perfect skin. If it's working, stick to it! Experiment, start new things slowly to see what works for you. Good luck - can't go wrong w/baking soda. It WORKS and it's cheap!

I have moderate acne, mostly just around my mouth. I also have a lot of acne scars on my forehead. I made a paste out of water and baking soda, and put it on for about 5 minutes. So far after 2 nights, my acne has only gotten worse. I dont know if thats because I got a tan last week or because of the baking soda. Anyway, this is def worth a try. Sooo many people have had great results, sometimes within a day sometimes within a week. I will not give up with this, sometimes the best treatments take time. But with the price and the ease, it is WORTH A TRY!!

You have to try this.I've been using it since yesterday..and already..my acne has dried up..its a good thing to use a moisturizer however..other than that..I plan to use it in replace of Pro-Activ..that only breaks my skin out.. I use Baking Soda..not the powder.

Really didn't do anything for my skin, little glow in the first couple of days then nothing. acne was still there.. feeling disappointed !! Plez note: I was using different brand of baking soda not the same one that is in the picture above.

I tried it once as a mask, i fins it's more mess than i want, read a lot that makes skin dry and did not work for me, i have tried other treatments that i can see at least a slight result within the first application. This wasnt one of them.

After I switched from birth control pills to nexplanon my acne got significantly worse. I started getting cysts. Red and horrible. It was difficult to keep from popping them. Sometimes I would anyways and the redness would be so much worse. I tried BP, and other various treatments. Nothing seemed to keep the acne in check until I started using baking soda. I usually use it every other day. I just wet my face pour some into my palm, and make a mask. I leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Then I rinse it off, While using an acne soap bar. My skin is relatively clear. The baking soda WILL dry out your skin so you need to moisturize. It's a really cheap alternative compared to some acne treatments.

i have very sensitive skin, so i was skeptical about using this. it is not a wonderful for treating acne, as i did not see much of a result. however, this did make my skin very soft! i have only used it a few times, so maybe it will have long-term effects. i sure hope so! P.S. it dries very quickly and will feel a little funny. when it starts to flake, its ready to be washed off. follow this with a lotion, as it really is drying.

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.

try it...dont have much to lose.

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.
