August 6, 2008
Pros:
-seems to exfoliate the skin well.
-doesn't seem to leave a vicious burn mark on my face like toothpaste even though it burns.
-exfoliates well when used properly.
Cons:
-burning sensation
-kind of annoying to mix it with water, but whatever it works.
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate is a salt everyone. Salt naturally exfoliates the skin although it can leave a red mark on your face that is only temporary for a few hours. If you swim in the ocean, you'd noticed that the salt water naturally exfoliates your skin as well and kills all the bacteria on your face that is causing your acne. If you want to think of it this way, using baking soda is pretty much like swimming in the ocean with relatively the same benefits. Its a really cheap yet effective tool for acne, and it 100% beats any acne product that exfoliates the skin that is 10 times the cost of this. Because it is also pure and not something man-made, there are no chemicals either which is a good sign for your body. This is my only first time using this so I will have to see after a few more trials how well this works. But after the first trial, you can definetly notice how well exfoliated your skin feels.

Pros:
Cheap.
Cons:
Extremely dry, scaley skin. Made me break out more.
I started using baking soda because of the positive reviews on this site. I tried it for two weeks and, by the end of the second week, my skin was burning and extremely dry. No amount of moisturizer helped. I guess it works for a lot of people, but not for me.

Pros:
Smooth skin, refreshed look and whiteheads are going away fast. CHEAP, so cheap take-out costs many times more
Cons:
doesn't seem to be working for my deep painful cystic acne
It just may work for you! Use sensitive skin astringent after rinsing off baking soda paste so that pores are cleaned. Baking soda does not disinfect by the way, it is just an exfolliant. A tip for you guys also...throw away your shampoo.
We all bathe in hot water and our pores get opened up. The shampoo lather w/ oils, dirt, bacteria get into your pores and ta-da breakouts. I use dettol soap or u can do research and find a shampoo that would not clog your pores or perhaps you use your acne cleanser hehe. And guys rinse your hair so that the nastiness flows down the back of your head, like what a gal would do. i wish dan would give us an option to view the top rated products on the website...so that others would agree to the effectiveness of baking soda.

Pros:
none
Cons:
-not for sensitive skin
-not for sensitive skin
-REALLY NOT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
I needed a cheap exfoliator, and this seemed to work for a lot people. I made the recommended paste, and left it on for twenty minutes. I was expecting it to burn, and it did. Oh well. All for the greater good. But when I washed it off, my face was broken out in a horrible non-acne bumpy rash. Shame, because I really wanted this to work. People with really sensitive skin are forewarned.

Pros:
Very affordable and within arms reach (kitchen)
Cons:
burns like crazy!! but you get used to it!!
I just put baking soda in a cup and add a little water drop by drop till it was thick enough to my liking. My face felt so much softer!
May 15, 2008
Pros:
My skin is very sensitive and oily and I'm prone to break outs. My skin has never felt better than after using the baking soda face mask. I'm throwing out all my overpriced ance creams
Cons:
It does burn for a few seconds and is flaky when it starts to dry.
Use the baking soda and you won't be sorry. I'm 30 years old and have tried everything you can imagine since I was 15 years old. I gave it a try after reading the reviews on here, and I won't go back to anything else. My skin looks the best it has it years!
May 7, 2008
Pros:
-Noticably smoother & clearer skin.
-Reduces any oils right away
-Gives skin a clean feeling
Cons:
-Burning effect
-Redness after depending on skin type
-Mask flakes off after drying
I mix baking soda, water, & hydrogen peroxid into something as pastey as I can get. I left it on until it flaked. It worked pretty well for me. My skin feels great, but it can be somewhat red & the burning during the process made me think I would be very sensitive. It all goes away though & your skin will look the desired way you want it. It's great for blackheads also. They look much smaller after using this.

Pros:
I have alot of clogged pores and breakouts (thankfully not cystic)This is soothing and very helpful for my breakouts. I get reactions from every commercial product. It breaks down oil and my skin is much less clogged and irritated!
Cons:
It burns a little if you use it as a scrub everyday. usually ,I dissolve it in a small amount of water and apply it as i would any other cleanser.
Try it if your skin is breakout prone, yet super sensitive. If it doesn't work for you breakouts, it doubles as an awesome deodorant!
Pros:
Glowing skin, blackheads GONE, smooth skin, smaller pores
