Pros:

Lightens acne
works fast!
cheap

Cons:

none

Wow i usually never write reviews, but it made my acne almost disappear!! I just have some leftover scars now..... NOTHING has worked for me in the past, i was impressed this did!!! i used it several times a day and from the first few days i can notice it's lighter and gave a matte touch to the face. I just sprinkle some on my hand when i was my face as a scrub...

Pros:

cheap

Cons:

irritated my skin

if you want to use something natural and don't have sensitive skin I guess this may work as a good exfoliant but it just made my skin go red.

Pros:

Cuts down on redness and size of pimples. But you should leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Try a test patch near your nose were the skin is sensitive and wait 30 minutes to make sure your skin can handle it. It does cause a mild burning sensation.

Cons:

The burning feeling on your skin. It is best to do this mask at the end of the day so any redness and tightness can clear by morning.

Will work for most lighter skin tones. Darker skinned people should go with a honey mask for 30 minutes 3 times a week.

Pros:

Exfoliated my skin. Took dry-patches away, skin feels baby-smoothe! Redness is reduced and pimples are drying up.

Cons:

Stings a little. Would cause drying if i didn't moisturize after.

- I mix equal parts of water/baking soda. - Use fingers to masage onto skin on face/chest. - Rinse off with water - Moisturize with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (a fantastic moisturizer that will not clog pores, is completely natural and VEGAN, does not have fillers or preservatives). Coconut oil is also a natural anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial. The best thing you can put on yours skin to moisturize! Voila..... Healthy skin!

Pros:

it's really amazing!
Just someething you have in your cupboard
Feels really nice when you apply with hands - it's like fine wet sand

Cons:

Difficult to get off, needs a flannel

After reading these reviews I have just made up the mixture, a trickle and a bit of warm water and some BS. I put it on my face just a min ago so i'm waiting to wash it off with warm water in 5mins. 5mins later...all the pimples on the forehead have lost their redness and most pimples have gone down. My blackhead area (nose) has improved and it doesn't feel dry at all which is what usually happens with clearisil products ARGH! I'm applying a again for a longer period of time on my forehead and now i know its safe, im gonna try it on the massive one on my cheek i rarely get thats been there for half a week. 10 mins...the redness on everything has gone down including the sticky-outness off pimples! its really amazing!!!!!!! Im gonna add another mask of this stuff for the rest of the night to see how it goes and reacts with my dry skin! so far so good!

Pros:

Cheap, found around the house, didn't burn..

Cons:

Didn't really help.

I hardly have any acne, but i recently broke out with a few pimples, and figured I'd try this since I've read that it works well. When I put it on, it burned a tiny little bit, but i didn't really notice. So I washed it off after about 5 minutes. I didnt notice anything really, except my pimples were slightly redder. I put lemmon juice on my face right after (I've used it for months, it works) and HOLY CRAP did it ever burn! it made the areas around the pimples even redder, dry, and stand out. Hopefully by tomorrow my skin will be better. All I know is I'm NEVER trying it again...
