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.

Pros:

NONE.

Cons:

Dried my skin terribly, way too harsh, caused clogged pores/little zits that I now have to wait to heal. Doesn't feel good upon rinsing.

It makes so much sense on paper, but baking soda is not at all a smart way to exfoliate, IMO. It totally strips your skin, which we all know is NOT good for those with acne. I don't understand why anyone would continue to use this...I fear for the health of their skin in the long-run. There are so many other effective, gentle methods of exfoliation out there. I regret using this. Oh well. Never again.

Pros:

Redness was reduced.

I would recommend this, but don't rely on it. It usually helps the first couple of times.. For me the first time I used it, I was amazed. After the 4th time, no improvements, and acne went back to how it was.

Cons:

none

just try it, what have you got to lose?

Pros:

It exfoliates your entire face, works against blackheads very well, and even though it doesn't instantly get rid of acne it helps by drying it out so it will go away quickly.

Cons:

burns a little bit and makes my face red right afterwards, but my face gets red easily anyways, so that won't happen for everyone.

Not one thing can work the same, if at all, for every single person. So give it a few tries and if it doesn't work move on to something else and try again. But most people have it laying around anyways, otherwise it costs a couple bucks and there is more than one use for it.

Pros:

works

Cons:

none yet

ive tried other things and with this stuff you could almost make a zit disappear in an hour. for real. just make a mask. leave on for 30 min. o and dont use any old stuff. replace often. baking soda absorbs odors and flavors.... remember.
