Found it didn't work
I have moderate acne, not severe, but pretty bad. I've used this method multiple times and found it didn't do anything at all for me. Depending on how bad your acne is it probably makes a difference though.

Do not use if you have sensitive skin. I learned this the hard way.

Pros:

easy to make
cheap

Cons:

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:

I've only used it once and I already love it! I can see the difference in my acne scars with just one time! Face feels baby soft and scars are lighter. :D

Cons:

Haven't found any yet.

Can't wait to see what my face looks like next week! I'm a 24year old young female and I'm just SICK of my acne and the scars it leaves behind! It's very frustrating... I've tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it but nothing. So came across this site and decided to try out the baking soda. Was a little skeptic at first but finally caved it after reading the reviews. I'm excited about the baking soda and hope this is the last thing that I try. We shall see... ;) Good luck my fellow acne people! Haha!

Pros:

cheap
easy to purchase

Cons:

harsh on face
very drying to face
causes redness on face

I found out this method when googling for a gentle home remedy exfoliate for acne prone skin. I also read a lot of the reviews here on baking soda, and I realize that a lot of people run and post a review literally minutes within they FIRST try it...For most acne products, precription or over the counter, it takes weeks if not months to see the effectiveness. It is very misleading information when the product has not be used or tested for a longer period of time. After 2 weeks and using baking soda twice a week ask an exfoliate, about only 1/4 tsp mix with 1 pump of Cetaphil...my face has became very red and dry. It's really hard for me to believe people can tolerate this for up to couple times a day everyday?! I will stop using baking soda as an exfoliate due to the redness and dryness, my skin cannot tolerate it. And when I rethink about this, it saids on the box baking soda is a great scrub for pots and pans...why would you want to scrub your face that is great at cleaning your kitchen??
