Pros:

Baking soda is really cheap. It really faded the black spots. I like it alot. yes I agree my skin got really dry. But I just applied a light face cream.

Cons:

Hum no cons

This is a cheap way to help clear skin. I will admit if your acne is really severe, I am not sure this will work.But use a litted wated and make it a paste I let it set for about 3-5 min and rinse my skin was really smooth in the morning.

Pros:

cleared up my skin very well.

Cons:

slight burn, but not too much that you should worry about

I always thought this was just some fake scam type thing, but then when i really used it, it worked wonderfully. I had acne all over my face and a decent amount on my chest, and when i put the baking soda on, it cleared up the acne much faster than any product given to me from my dermatologist. BE SURE TO PUT MOISTURIZER ON AFTER!!!!! skin dries out.

Pros:

Cheap, feels good

Cons:

Burns like hell when you wash it off. But after that its awsome

I just heard about this today and decided to try it. Below are directions. (Try at your own risk) - Dampen your face with warm water - Mix a 1-2 tablespoons of BS in a cup or bowl with a little water, you goal is to create a thick paste. - Apply liberally to your face or areas you want to clear up - Allow the paste to dry on your face for 5 minutes or so, (This is when it will start to burn) - Rinse your face and prepare yourself for the last burn. I did this in the shower, a lot easier. - Rinse with cool water if needed and apply medication (if you have any) - Enjoy a smooth face

Pros:

cheap, fades scars, smoothes skin

Cons:

can be drying

experiment a little to figure out the right ratio for your skin. If it stings alot, mix with more water. If it's drying, leave it on a shorter amount of time, and moisturize afterward. I have relatively oily skin, and leaving this stuff on as a mask is VERY drying, even for me. However, using as a cleanser works very well. Scars began to fade after only one week, and helps minimize pores. I'm very pleased.

Pros:

Very powerful exfoliation, reduced size of blemishes, improved skin tone.

Cons:

Can burn a bit.

After using Baking Soda only ONCE, I already saw a dramatic reduction in the size of the blemishes that were currently on my face. My skin tone seemed to look a bit better, it appeared less dull. My skin felt sufficiently exfoliated and clean. It felt soft, but not moisturized (there is a difference)- so I would definitely recommend a moisterizer afterwards, to replenish the skin. This is a VERY powerful way to exfoliate. All you need to do is mix a bit of Baking Soda with some water until you get a paste; then, take the paste and gently massage it all over your face. When you're finished, be sure to rinse thoroughly. Those with sensitive skin, or those who may have damaged skin from using harsh treatements, should take caution when using this, as it may burn/sting.

Pros:

Your skin feels fresh and tight!
Very cheap and easy to get your hands on.

Cons:

Nothing so far

Just mix less than a teaspoon full of bicarb of soda into your cleanser. I'm using Cetaphil at the moment -it doesn't dry out skin and is great for sensitive skin users. Then gently glide the mix over your skin. I've only just used this from yesterday but I'll try the water and baking soda and see how effective that one is. I haven't used it long enough to see it's effects on my acne but I'll post later on in my blog. Hope it works for you!

Pros:

Smooth Feeling, Less Redness, Less Breakouts

Cons:

A bit of redness if you use it too much or scrub too hard. BE GENTLE!

This is the most effective product I've ever used on my face. Its WELL worth $3 for a huge box!!!! I use this two ways: 1) Make a paste and apply it thickly before I shower, then rinse off at the end of my shower. 2) Mixed in with my moisturizer to spot treat at night. (change your pillow case everyday if you use this method though!) I FULLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!!! I've been using it twice a day for 8 months now.. its a god send!

Pros:

Dries out yout pimples.

Cons:

kinda burns a little bit

Hi I'm new to this website and i'm in my teenage years and i'f started to have bad acne. I get pimples on my forehead in between my eyebrows and by the increases of my cheekbones and my nose. It is my first day wearing baking soda. After 3 hours i saw an admazzing change. So i am going to start to use baking soda a little longer and see what it does to my skin. What you do is get baking soda add a little water and it would turn into a paste and rub gently in motioned circles around you bad acne spots. I would keep myself posted off how my acne clears up.

Pros:

MAKES YOU FACE SMOOTH AND SOFT AND IS FADIN MY SCARS.

Cons:

IT HELLA BURNS BUT ITS WORTH IT

IT'S VERY GOOD CONSIDERING I'VE BEEN USING IT FOR TWO DAYS OR SO. BUT TO MAKE YOU'RE ACNE GO AWAY FASTER I WOULD PUT YOUR DAILY ACNE MEDICINE AFTER PUTTING ON THE BAKING SODA.
