Pros:

it scrubs

Cons:

bleaches, made me break out even more, did nothinggg

I thought I'd give this a shot since there are so many good reviews on this product. It's so affordable so why not? At first it was a nice exfoliant, but then i noticed whiter hands. I mean that didn't really bother me but I didn' want to risk the chance of my face getting whiter too. Anyway, I broke out even more with this usage and made little bumps all over my forehead and near my ears. Haven't had any luck and I'm very disappointed. :[

Pros:

Clearer skin

Cons:

If used daily it will irritate your skin.

I have read many of your comments and it seems like everyone makes a baking soda paste. Well I actually use a baking soda soap sold in stores. It's called "Grandpa's Baking Soda Soap". There is variety of other soaps as well. It's sold at Bigelow's in Manhattan and other health junkie stores. Works great for me.

Pros:

soft skin and healthy glow

Cons:

none so far

I used this for the first time last night and it felt as tho something was happining to my acne....by morning it was drying up. I mixed baking soda and water to make a past and rubbed it into my face and rinced it off after about 45 seconds....then i used a cotten ball with apple cyder vinager on it and put that on my face and left it over night. Then next day i did an egg white mask after lunch and i plan to do this for a week to see the results! Hope this all works!!!

Pros:

This stuff is amazing. It got rid of all the cysts on my forehead area and competly cleared it up just after 3 USES!!! within less then 48hours!!!

Cons:

Stings ALOT. Make sure you dont have sensitive skin or apply a little first and leave it for a couple minutes.

It pretty much cleared up my entire forehead in 48hours i was completely amazed at how quick this stuff worked.

Pros:

I am not really sure yet, I tried it for the first time today. But I am hoping that it will work due to all the positive comments about it. My forehead looks a bit better. But I will comment again when I know my results for sure.

Cons:

It is very drying and there is a sting when you put it on.

I am waiting right now for results. It may take a week or maybe overnight!!! I am pretty excited being that nothing else really seemed to help with my acne.

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

Pros:

good exfoliant
squeaky clean skin

Cons:

irritated my skin which made its condition worse
stings
NOT for sensitive skin

tried this about 3 times already, in different weeks, not consecutively. well, everytime i use this my skin is stinging. the last time I used it, I just pat it on the surface (not rub) but I felt that it still stings. It's not really meant for my sensitive skin.

Pros:

cheap. easy to get. it works but need patience.

Cons:

sting but not so much in my case. leave my skin red for half a day.

i used sodium bicarbonate occasionally.. like once in 3-4 weeks. i used it as mask. i try to be as gently as possible while applying to my face and removing from my face because sodium bicarbonate contains crystal particles that can damage skin texture (thats what i believe).it won't make skin perfect but it does help to reduce my acne and scar.

Pros:

It makes skin soft! I mixed it with yogurt just to add a bit of moisturizing to the effect and this combination gently cleans pores, removes dead cells and softens dry, sensitive skin without irritation.

Cons:

It makes your skin feel tight when it dries up.

i rate it as four since i've only used it today, but it already seems to be working well :)
