Cons:
Makes my face VERY dry and tight afterwards
Just this second put it on so not really sure.
September 2, 2009
Pros:
makes skin feel smooth and dries out active pimples
Cons:
didnt stop more pimples from coming in and is messy
i made this into a paste with water and put it on twice a day. In the morning though i would still have new pimples and it burns a little.

Pros:
Cheap
Clears up /most/ big red acne
Works AT FIRST
Cons:
Does not gurantee long term clear skin
Prolonged use caused immunity
For the first few weeks, it cleared up my skin ALOT. It was amazing! :D (Water + Baking Soda Mask, leave it on for 20 minutes).
/Most/ of my large pimples are gone (those annoying red ones). BUT.... now there are many of these tiny little bumps, which I hate even more. The baking soda DOES NOT work anymore, my skin has gotten used to its affect, I believe.
It's as if my face doesn't want to get any better. ;_; It may or may not work out for you. I would reccomend it, but not for long term use.

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!

Pros:
reduces size of pimples
Cons:
left skin feeling, tight, super dry, and RED
it's okay, but i'd just leave it for healing bee stings
May 18, 2009
Pros:
Cheap and easy to use...I just mixed it with a few drops of water to make a paste. My face felt so clean and smooth afterwards.
Cons:
Made my face red and I got a bit of a rash that disappeared after a few hours...it wasn't too bad, I just looked a bit flushed. Also, my face is a bit oily today, I think because I stripped so much off last night, it's overcompensating!
I wouldn't recommend this if you have sensitive skin as it's probably a little too abrasive and harsh. If your skin is tougher than mine though, it will really make your face feel extra clean.

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.
April 15, 2009
Pros:
Dont know yet
Cons:
Burned my face
I have tried Baking soda for two days, the first night it was ok and tonight my face was burning I had to put neosporin on my face to alliviate the pain
February 10, 2009
Pros:
Cheap, found around the house, didn't burn..
Cons:
Didn't really help.
I hardly have any acne, but i recently broke out with a few pimples, and figured I'd try this since I've read that it works well.
When I put it on, it burned a tiny little bit, but i didn't really notice.
So I washed it off after about 5 minutes. I didnt notice anything really, except my pimples were slightly redder. I put lemmon juice on my face right after (I've used it for months, it works) and HOLY CRAP did it ever burn! it made the areas around the pimples even redder, dry, and stand out. Hopefully by tomorrow my skin will be better. All I know is I'm NEVER trying it again...
