Pros:

Its really helpful. It cleared my pimples in just about a week!

Cons:

It slightly burns.. But its worth it because in the end, your pimples would clear!

I think people would benefit from this solution. Some of you might feel scared that it might leave a mark on your face or since your face is sensitive it wouldn't work. It doesn't matter if your face is sensitive, mine is too! It worked for me! And don't be scared, it works like a charm! It is up to you if you really want to do it or not.

Pros:

As an exfoliant: smoother face after, exfoliater

Cons:

kinda messy if used as mask. dry pieces can fall off

it worked good my acne improved for a week i was doing honey mask before shower then baking soda mask after shower. but after that first week my acne got BAD. I realize that u should only use this as an exfoliant. not a mask it has the same effects but less time. also i wouldn't exfoliate for than like twice a week. very cheap exfoliant, definantly work into your routine but DON"t only use this. I though i finally found something that worked and only used it but my acne got really bad

Pros:

It makes my (acne free) skin part feels so smooth.

Cons:

The acne are still there. And I'm seeing more are developing on my forehead.

This reminds me of how my proactiv worked. Doesn't do anything to the acne, but the rest of the skin complexion improved by far. I'll keep using it anyway. It's nice to have skin this smooth ^_^

Pros:

Cheap, makes skin smooth

Cons:

Doesn't really clear up acne

It's cheap, and it's good to use as an exfoliant. But it doesn't really clear up acne.

Pros:

dries up pimples faster than just leaving them alone, deeply cleans your face, helps prevent new breakouts, your skin feels fresh and it glows after you rinse it off.

Cons:

The first day or two, it will burn a bit and make your skin red, but once your skin adjusts, this won't happen anymore.

I've tried so many different products to try to clear up my acne after I could no longer afford to be on Retin-A. Nothing has worked better than a mask of baking soda and water applied to my face twice a day. I wash my face, then apply this mask morning and night, leave it on until it dries, and then I rinse it off, following up with an oil-free moisturizer. After 2 days of using the product, my skin no longer burned when I put it on, and the redness went away. It shrinks down my pimples (even the cystic ones) faster than if I were to just leave them be, and now that I've been on it for about 2 months, I find that I get far less pimples, (even cysts!) Occasionally, I'll get a bad hormonal breakout, but they're only half as bad as they used to be when I wasn't on baking soda. This stuff totally rocks, I recommend it 100%. You'll never find anything more effective that's so cheap!

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Doesn't work

I used it once, and when I woke up, the few pimples I had were all amplified.. I'm scared that if I keep using it will only get worse.

Pros:

my face has never felt this clean and smooth. my pimples calmed down immediately after i washed it off. they were still there just not inflamed and painful

Cons:

it burns a little but i like it because i know its WORKING! :)

i've wasted money on so many different things to make my skin look good. this even smoothed out my coloration. hopefully i won't have to wear a ton of powder and foundation anymore. baking soda is the cheap and easy way out! for real!

Pros:

it looks a lot better

Cons:

stings a little

I am 11 and I have been strugling with acne since I was 9. I love to play sports and am pretty skiny. I applied it to my skin with water for about 14 minutes and took it off. Then I aplied it with cetaphil face wash. When I washed that off it is looking a lot better but I don't have any changes yet. I will most definitly do another post tomorrow morning and will tell you about any changes or reactions. I do recomend it because a lot of other people do and if it doesn't work out for me then it might work out for you.
