Pros:

None - apart from being cheap

Cons:

No good for sensitive skin, irritate and burns if left on too long, messy

I really wanted this to work as I was going to take a natural approach to treating my acne.. (have since started doxycycline) Bummer I have sensitive skin and could only handle it on my face for couple of minutes or it starts burning and irritating the skin.. Drops all over the floor when it starts to dry.. My advice is "Get something that works"

Pros:

Feels like it might work.

Cons:

Doesn't work. Makes my skin red and blochy and dry. May cause more acne to come.

For some, may work. Well, obviously it does for some. Give it a try, you never know. Right now I am using a NEW clearisal product(face wash) and it is working great!!!Also the Pears soap from the dollar store!!!!!! This whole baking soda thing hasn't worked for me.

Pros:

None

Cons:

My face turned beet red

I'm stuck in my room right now cause I don't want anyone to see my face. I am trying to make the redness go away by putting a cold washcloth on my face. Beware to those with sensitive skin. :(

Pros:

ok exfoliator

Cons:

stinging, burning, itching, and my acne got worse: I believe this is too harsh with active acne/sensitive skin. It may be great for very mild acne/oily skin. My skin is too dry already but still has moderate acne.

I won't use it again.

honestly, i've been using baking soda this past 2 days and did't make acne cleared up but my pore size reduced. i still reccommend it and use it b'coz who knows you might see the effect after 1-2 weeks of use
