Pros:

Softer, smoother, more even complexion after first use. Oil production has minimized and redness has dramatically improved

Cons:

Texture wise, it's different than the cleansers I'm used to, but not to the point it's uncomfortable

The most effective thing I've ever used on my face! I've tried Clean & Clear's and Neutrogena's Acne Kits, Proactive several times, Honey & nutmeg, Aspirin masks, Aloe Vera sap, Colon Cleansing, Strict Dieting, Increasing Water intake, Flax seed oil, Lysine, Vitamin E supplements, Zinc...I've about had it! It's super affordable and worth a try. My regimine: 1) CLEANSE: Baking soda + water to form a paste 2) TONE; cotton ball soaked in water + apple cider vinegar 3) Moisturizer of choice, preferably unscented & formulated for sensitive skin 4) SPOT TREAT: in the PM only. I use Dr. Jeff's Acne Spot Treatment 5) MASK: once a week, 1 egg white whipped with a few squeezes of lime juice. I suggest toning AFTER a mask regimine. The lime juice is optional. I add it because of it's exfoliant properties which in turn I've heard helps to fade away hyperpigmentation (those dark spots left after our horrid little friends) Good Luck everyone!

Pros:

dries up pimples and removes scars with persistent usage.

Cons:

might sting a little if the powder comes in contact with yr lips.
might be drying for ppl with dry skin.

i usually use the baking soda at the end of the day when i bath (where my skin the the oilest then..).. i mixed it with water, SLATHER them on my face and leave it on for 2 min. i've got visible pores and realised that they are a lil enlarged when i SCRBBED the powder solution on my face. after rinsing them off, 90% of the oil are washed off! then i would only use a drip or 2 of my TTO cleansing gel from TSB to wash off the dirt and baterial on my face. *after 3 weeks of usage once per day, i realised that some of my acne marks were gone totally!! Such a cheap product that works amazingly! *u would need a good moisturizer after the wash, no matter if u have dry or oily skin.i'm using neutrogena oil free spf 15 moisturizer.

Pros:

GREAT for cleanser and a smooth face. I have acne scars and oily skin. It seems to reduce the appearance of scars and controls the oil for a longer period of time!

Cons:

Irritates a little so dont use it everyday if you have sensitive skin. Use it every 2 or 3 days...but its worth it really!

Its cheap AND effective! Go out and TRY IT!!

Pros:

- uses as a scrub it gets rid of most dead skin
- mixed with water and used as a paste spot treatment it dries out zits
- really inexpensive

Cons:

- can be TOO drying
- can casue mild irritation, so dont use it before going out

I use it every other night as a scrub and it gives me better results than other scrubs for acne. I also use it as a spot treatment. Mix baking soda and water, apply to zit, stick a band-aid on it over night and in the morning rinse! it can be pretty drying so you should experiment with your own skin, but I will say I do have sensitive skin and some acne medications irritate my skin alot more than baking soda

Pros:

A miracle

Cons:

Don't use it everyday. 3-4 times in a week. Once under control stop using it until it starts to return. Must give the skin a break let the skin reproduce the oils. Yes it does burn on damaged skin and this will reduce by the 3rd application.

I don't have acne, but dermatitis and itchy bad skin until it bled. Cortisone cream weakened the skin and made my hands split under pressure of just typing or carrying a bag. I now have my fingerprints back. I have suffered for 20years.
