Pros:

It work's. My face was brighter and smoother after two days of using it. Acne was almost completely gone after a month

Cons:

Burns a little and drys out skin.

I had to stop using it after a month. I broke out with a bunch of little blackheads all over my face. I over did big time. I was getting so excited with the results and starting using it twice a day then three times a day and I wasn't moisturizing (I know, I know, big mistake). I gave it a break for about two weeks and my face still had tons of little blackheads. I started using it again today with a oil-free moisturizer (only once every other day). Bottom line it works!! but whatever you DO NOT abuse it and moisturize.

Pros:

clears blackhead, heals acne scars, smaller pores, less breakout, evens skin tone, skin less oily, cheap!

Cons:

none for me..

I use this as a mask everynight. Everynight, First you must wash face and remove all makeup with just mild soap. Leave face wet, then apply paste (baking soda+water) don't scrub and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse. I then apply Bio-Oil as a moisturizer to my whole face(great for moisturizing, even tone, and removing acne scars) and leave on overnight. In the morning, just wash face with mild soap followed by an astringent.. then apply light Bio oil on spots with acne scars (don't put too much oil). I've been doing this for a week and seems to work for me! blackheads are gone. And skin is smoother, pores are smaller, ACNE SCARS FADING!!, and I've only have 3 breakouts since I started using this (i usually get from 10-15)!

Pros:

Really easy to use. You just add water to make a paste, gently exfoliate skin, then leave on for a few minutes.
Baking Soda is extremely affordable.
Cleared up my skin without drying it too much and I have sensitive skin.

Cons:

It burns slightly, but I kind of like the feeling. It lets me know something is working.

A lot of people say that this is really drying. I don't know how long they're keeping it on for, but I haven't had any problems and I have sensitive skin. You MUST moisturize after using this (you should be anyway). I'm so glad I started using this. It seems to be working. There's nothing that works for everyone, but it's worth a shot for only a dollar!

Pros:

After the first use (mask style for like ten min) I rinsed it off and was actually surprised when I looked in the mirror. My redness had gone down and my skin was a little clearer. I can't wait to use it more this week and see what happens.

Cons:

Could hurt if you have sensitive skin. Doesn't burn me because I only leave it on for like ten minutes.

Use it carefully and intelligently. I use honey on my face afterward to calm things down.

Pros:

It immediately brought every blackhead and blemish out of my face on the first wash. It makes my skin feel tight and bright.

Cons:

It burns a little bit and causes your face to be a little red the first time.

It seems to work well, use it a few times and stop if you have a bad reaction to it.
