Pros:

-Makes a noticeable difference in the size of cystic pimples

Cons:

-Stings
-Irritates skin

Does not clear up acne completely but it's worth a try if you are willing to do a mask once a week or mix with water and use as a scrub before bed.

Pros:

Not Sure

Cons:

burns, makes skin rough

I used this method a LoNG time ago. I have mild acne but not from this! I remeber being soo upset after using this. my skin was so rough after only 1 use which I left on for only about 5 minutes. It turned my whole forhead which is my problem area where I applied it turned into a dark shade rough brown. It was wiered looking with my light skin tone with a perfect line over my eyebrows a totally different shade. I also saw no improvement but only used 1 time bcuz of the terrible like rash it lft. My skin got sensetive and peeled for a while. I gave 2 stars bcuz I only used 1 time, so I'm still not sure if it would have worked. I rlly rathered the acne than the hidious rash which is gone now but was agony.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne
QUICK FIX
soft smooth skin

Cons:

Dry Skin
Stings

It gets rid of acne fast, like if you need to go to some occasion soon or something. And its cheap and fast RECOMMENDATION: not that i have tried it yet, but i think next time, don't add too much baking soda? cause that would really make your skin dry. i guess add a little more honey to thicken it? so that way it is still a paste, but not mostly from baking soda. AND ALSO... don't let the baking soda dry up completely, because that would be flaky and messy and (probably) when it begins to dry up your skin most. SO AFTER, use moisturizer immediately, something acidic/higher in pH to balance the baking soda which has low pH. OR.. I've done some research, but try a sea salt solution (cleanser) right after to balance the acidity again. The sea salt solution also helps treat the acne, not to mention balance out the pH again, so win-win situation i guess. TRYYYYYY IT.

Pros:

It worked in hours.

Cons:

Well no my face isn't clear.

It made many current pimples i had dry up and they look like they'll be healed in a few days. And it didn't dry my skin and kept it pretty smooth and a lot less oily.

Pros:

Makes your skin fell smooth,gets rid of pimples,blackheads,whiteheads,and if you have flaky skin,it will clear that up too! AMAZING!!!!!! It fades acne scars too!!!

Cons:

When you take it off your face is red for a few minutes,but then it goes away really fast!!!

It works so well. If you are one of those people who have tried every product out there, this will be the last that you try. After one day,half of my pimples were gone!!!!!!!

Pros:

Cheap. Cleared up pimples along my forehead.Left my skin very smooth.

Cons:

A little bit of redness. A little bit of stinging. I have sensitive skin so it was a little dry,but I dabbed on some cocoa butter.

I love it. it was my first time trying the treatment. I will most definately tell my friends and continue to use it myself. As I mentioned before I have sensitive skin,so I will use it every other day. But overall I love the effect and I am randomly rubbing my skin as I'm typing it feels so smooth.

Pros:

dries up pimples, gets rid of dead skin, and has even gotten rid of some of my blackheads!

Cons:

leaves skin red and a little dry, but the redness only stays for a few minutes, and putting on moisturizer after keeps skin from getting to dry.

It works! Does more then I actually expected it to. I say only do this every other week, because its pretty strong stuff and might irritate your skin. My skin gets extra dry in the winter, so i do it every week then, but only every other week in the other seasons. And, it's super cheap!
