Pros:

Brings out whiteheads, smoothes skin

Cons:

Burning sensation (but it goes away)

I used to have problem free skin...When I went away for college (Tallahasse, FL), my skin did not agree with the water. Since then, I've been fighting pimples here and there...I started using the baking soda and water mixture about 1 week ago, and it's working! I use it every other day, because I leaned quickly that the burning only gets worse if used too often...Also, I've found that once the white heads start to surface, they may leave blemishes after you pop them...TRY THIS: Crack open an egg! Spread the yolk of the egg all over your face...The yolk helps to draw out oil and helps heal blemishes...So far, so good!!!

Pros:

Definitely cheap

Cons:

Slight burning/tingling

I have tried so many products. $70 for a tube of retin-A which did bring me out of the worst break out of my life and I highly recommend it. $20-$40 lotions, serums, oils, toners, etc. That was a lot of costly hit and miss. I am going to try for a week or two to determine the results. If this works for the money you pay then why not?

Pros:

it controls oil, and makes skin feel really smooth, works quickly, definitely helps with acne.

Cons:

skin gets really red

the pros definitely outweigh the cons. i use it once a day and i know this has helped. plus it is really cheap so why not give it a shot.

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling soft, draws out blackheads.

Cons:

stings a little, dries skin.

I create a paste, apply to the face for 15 mins, wash off with cold water, this leaves my skin extremely soft but does dry your skin so use a moisturiser i use vaseline intesive moisture treatment. It also draws the blackheads out, after washing the paste off i can see that all my blackheads have come out, wich i then just use a towel and gently wipe them off. i have used twice now and have had no major pimple outbreaks, so far so good!!

Pros:

Used it just now washed off and looked in the mirror 5 minutes later, seems really good at making skin color more even.

Cons:

dries out and burns

Worth further investigation, too cheap to pass up.

Pros:

Smoothes Out Skin,

Cons:

whenever i wash the mixture off my face ALL MY PIMPLES ARE INFLAMED, there red as roses, it only lasts maybe 10 minutes, but it bugs me

i have been using this for maybe 4 days a LITTLE difference, not much, but then again they say u have to keep using it for 2 weeks or so. so i hope to get my ugly acne off my face, and kiss my girlfriend without feeling embaressed ;)

Pros:

cheap. Makes skin super smooth and, most importantly, it actually works!

Cons:

can make skin irritated first time

I had acne as a teenager but it got really bad in my mid-20s. I used Proactive for two years. It worked in the beginning but then stopped working and made my skin really unhealthy looking. I tried Retin A which made me break out like crazy for two months, and now I have been on antibiotics for 2 months with little results. I have painful, cystic acne that leaves scars. I tried baking soda and water after reading the reviews here, and I can't tell you how happy I am. The first time I washed with it my face turned a bit red...but only for 20 min or so. I made a paste and put it on my spots overnight and have been doing this for about four days. My spots are much smaller, some scars seem lighter, and I haven't gotten one new zit!! I am sooooooo excited about this and hopefully it will keep working.

Pros:

So cheap!!!!!!!! Natural. One box seems to last forever.

Cons:

Can dry a little, but just make sure to moisturize afterwards.

You don't have to use facial scrubs with chemicals that can irritate skin even more. All it takes is a little baking soda to exfoliate so it lasts and lasts. Pretty much what everyone else is saying...it works!
