Pros:

it is cheap, easy to use

Cons:

really really dried out my skin--made it tight and ten a little flaky

I swear by baking soda to put in your bath water to soften your skin and was told by a dermatologist that using a baking soda paste rivals microdermabrasion. Some spas even use baking soda and charge a fortune. As for my face I just felt like it was irritating it more. A better idea (the same clay as in your face masks is crushed kitty litter--the natural clay type--put it in a coffee grinder and make a water paste with it and use it as a spot treatment.

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.

Pros:

Cleared a lot of acne, made skin feel VERY soft!

Cons:

Occasionally burns lightly for like a second, doesn't get rid of small acne or blackheads that much.

It helped clear much of my acne-mostly the big zits! Not the little tiny ones as much, but it did help. I use it as a mask for like ten minutes and then wash it off, and my skin feels great and smooth! I also use it with my facial wash sometimes, it's a great exfoliator! I just barely helped my blackheads, but it did make a difference and now I'm way clearer than I was 3 months ago! I suggest you try it!

Pros:

Inexpensive
Good exfoliator

Cons:

Doesn't clear acne
Burns around your nose
It brought out small bumps and made them inflamed and bigger!!

It made my skin feel clean, but made me break out worse! I really don't know what the fuss is about.. I really thought this would work :( I ahve used it for a week.. should I try longer?

Pros:

Face feels cleaner than ever.

Cons:

None

Im so glad I found Baking Soda(omg, baking soda, on your FACE can you believe it?), its honestly the best exfoliator I've ever used. It makes my face feel cleaner than ever! I cant say its a miracle, but it does work to reduce red marks, and I have seen a small improvement in my acne. Try it, you'll fall inlove immediately! Oh, I use it everyday with no problems.

Pros:

Easy to make and very cheap.

Cons:

None.

This stuff is great although its not like a miracle. I've been using it for about a week and it has dried up a lot of the old ones and i think its preventing some of the new ones but not sure yet.

Pros:

Works fast, exfoliates, keeps skin soft and toned.

Cons:

Slite burning at first around the nose; if used everyday, severe burning around the nose.

I use baking soda every Thursday after I wash my face as an exfoliater. When I first started, I would use it every day and it made my skin very, very dry and sensitive. It also gave my skin around my nose a severe burning and stinging feeling, so I started using it once a week. (Which just so happened to be Thursdays...) Anyway, if I also have like, one or two pimples, I mix it with water and put in on the pimple(s) and it goes away!
