Not really acne but these annoying heat bumps... Anyhoo.. I use baking soda as a scrub (paste) daily and my skin look amazing. Totally recommend it.

Pros:

Made skin extremely smooth. Reduced inperfections on nose to almost none. Added a slight glow to face.

Cons:

Skin developed a tolerance. When I ran out, after a week of not using it, my skin returened to how it usually felt before the baking soda.

I happened to have baking soda that I never used. I heard of it as an exfoliator. My face didn't have acne, but it did have little annoying bumps. I mixed two pinches in with a pump of face wash and scrubbed. I did this for the next two days, and my skin felt great.

Pros:

Smooth skin, dries pimples in a good way, cheap

Cons:

Tastes foul when you get it in your mouth

I usually just mix it with a bit of water and make a paste then use it as an exfoliator of sometimes as a spot treatment - which is messy.

Pros:

The pros are this is a cheap and natural way to cure your blackheads and acne. Also I only .50, you can't get no better than that.

Cons:

None at all

I posted a comment on April 21st, and since then I have use this as a acne paste mask, this is the best thing I have ever used. I can't believe how smooth and glowing my skin looks. My blackheads have totally disappeared. My sister told me about this. And I tell others. Just remember you must use a moisturizer, or you will be dry face city.

Pros:

-Removes dead skin
-Cheap
-Simple

Cons:

-Affects skin's pH level, apparently

Alright, so I've been looking for an exfoliation method for a while and decided to try BS. It certainly does assist in removing dead skin, but apparently it shouldn't be used often or as a main exfoliating source. Apparently, after reading around Acne.org forums, some members said it would affect your skin's pH levels and thus make it vulnerable to outside forces (wind, sun, etc). So while it is a good short-term solution, in the long term it isn't really safe. Recommended, but use with caution and at your own risk.

Pros:

Best exfoliator ever! Cleared skin, very soft and smooth.

Cons:

None.

Nothing can beat this. All of the other expensive products are absolutely a waste of money. I combine this with a mild cleanser, Purpose, and little bit of water to form a paste, rub gently on the face for a minute and wash off. To fade the acne marks, I used TCA EZ Peel, which has been very effective.

Pros:

started using after reading posts on this site. saw noticable improvement after 3 days. no new blemishes when i was used to getting on avg about 3 new cysts a week! also began to clear old scars. would def recommend it!

Cons:

tastes bad if it gets in your mouth. i use it as a cleanser in the shower so makes more easily able to run in my mouth.

you name it ive tried it. ive been suffering for acne for 6 years (im now 25) and this is the first time i can say im seeing a definite improvement in my skin just by switching to baking soda as my cleanser. i also use benzaclin and finacea (i alternate nights) but when i added baking soda in the mix it seemed to make a faster more drastic improvement. plus its so cheap it beats buying $50 cleanser elsewhere!
