Pros:
--
Cons:
my acne came back
hi, i wrote a review on October 31, 2008 saying that baking soda was awesome and blah blah blah. well really, it's not. (for me.) after a while, the baking soda stopped working and my acne returned..i'm happy to hear that it is working for most of you but i just thought you guys know.

Pros:
Did notice lightening of skin tone
Cons:
I don't have sensitive skin. This made me break out wrose, when i was at my worst. Its very alkaline. Definitely not for me.
I was trying to see if the problem with the PH was my skin had to do with it being too acidic or too alkaline. I tried apple cider vinegar (an acid) and it worked brilliantly. So, this probably works for the people with the opposite problem (an acidic PH) and those without skin PH problems whatsoever.

Pros:
Cheap
Cons:
Irritated skin and left skin with deep red scars, caused way more breakouts = NOT RIGHT FOR EVERYONE
TRY IT ONCE GENTLY, AND WAIT A COUPLE DAYS TO SEE HOW YOU REACT.

Pros:
-very cheap
-natural home remedy
Cons:
- not very effective
- can irritate skin and shouldn't be used on a regular basis if you have sensitive skin
Sometimes it worked. Mainly good for blackheads and exfoliating on my nose. On my pimply parts of my face, it didn't work good and sometimes made it red or worse.
If you only have a zit or two and some blackheads, use. Not for sensitive skin.

it stings but definitely it's worth it!
i have an acne vulgaris for nearly a month now...im 24 and got this nasty break outs! so when i came across this site i was wondering if this thing could lessen my worries... as i look onto the mirror, my zits started to "pop up" on its own! yeah! i was amazed seeing those pus came out on my skin! i use as a scrub with my facial wash (panoxyl) and an overnight mask mixed with my moisturizer... i think it helped a bit to heal my acne..

Pros:
Inexpensive, simple, washed away all surface oils
Cons:
Not quite sure yet.
A colony of bumps have developped around my cheek and chin area for the past year- they're these tiny bumps right under the skin. They seem like blackheads but they never actually come out. They're so annoying! Nothing has ever gotten rid of them. I've tried using BS for a few days (I think today was my third) and results are somewhat nonexistant. I notice that I'm breaking out more though. I don't know if the baking soda is drawing out impurities to the surface or I'm getting a bad reaction to it because I do notice a bit more redness. I'm only 16 and I've had acne problems since I was about 11. I've tried almost everything! Maybe I'll post in a week or so- see if anything changes! Try it anyways!

Baking soda isn't the best solution
Baking soda is promoted by numerous online entities as a “natural” way to get rid of blackheads. In theory, baking soda can indeed have a drying effect. Proponents back this treatment measure because of baking soda’s potential ability to dry out clogged pores.
The problem with applying baking soda to your skin is that it can dry out the rest of your skin, too.
Some users may even experience contact dermatitis, a type of eczema caused by adverse reactions to substances and chemicals that encounter the skin. This may lead to redness, rashes, and itchiness.
Pros:
reduces size of pimples
