Cons:

Stings, makes skin more red and very sensitive. Normally I don't have sensitive skin but this did not feel good! My skin was very red and is still red a day later. Made the small break-outs I had way worse.

I would not use this again. Way too harsh on my skin.

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:

temporarily fades acne at first
cuts back the oil

Cons:

eventually makes skin red
chapped and cracked the skin on my hands when i used them to apply on my hands
caused weird huge bumps on forehead

I read all these reviews and was like whoa this stuff must be sweet. I mean, cmon, someone said that God led it to them and it was a godsend and stuff...it had to be good right? well it worked for the first week, but then came the problems... redness, redness, paleness, dryness...badness. at first it works but eventually with my skin it started looking really bad. it was too abrasive for my sensitive skin and even made my hands start to crack and turn horribly red from use. I wasn't even using it on my hands. Another weird thing that happened is that I got huge bumps on my forehead that I've never got before. It was usually where my hair fell onto my face. Eventually i quit and now I use a teatree organic soap and bp 10% as a spot treatment. Things are getting much better than when I used baking soda. Use with extreme skepticism.

Pros:

I've used this product for about 4weeks and i see some improvement in my face. I still get breakouts but everybody is different and different products act differently to different things.Works better than proactive. Proactive just made my face worse.

Cons:

Burns your face until it dries. And if u keep it for a while with water it starts to stink.

This product helped my face a little. It did make my face really smooth though. I recomend anyone to try it just to see if it works or not cause ever1 is different. I think it helped my face more than proactive. Any1 please dont try proactive. It breaks your face out really bad. I'd use this product over proactive.
