Pros:

very cheap and easy to use

Cons:

i dont know about the rest of you but it didnt do much for me

I used it for about a week, it cleared up my face the slitest bit, maybe thats just my skin, it would never hurt to try it anyways. I know of a greate home remidy for reducing the redness of spots and pimples and that is camomile tea. Dip some face wips in the tea and place it on your face for about 20 minutes, do that about 4 times a day and only after 1 day you will see results, half the redness would have disappeared!

Pros:

cleans skin

Cons:

made acne worse i believe i over used

maybe if i used once every two days it would have worked. Does not matter any more. Cleared my skin by drinking lemon juice and using seniclear. Try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! worked in only one week. No side effects

Pros:

Does the job well and dirt cheap. Plus travel friendly - it's powder not liquid!

Cons:

none

Use it when your face is damped. Then rinse it off. Skin is so soft and you know all the dead skin are GONE! Dont leave it too long, dont use it too often. And about the dryness, nothing jojoba oil cant take care of. *wink*

Pros:

it doesnt burn and it softens skin i guess

Cons:

my acne didnt go away, it hasnt faded, nothing has happened at all. im very dissapointed =[

ive been using about 2 tbsp and putting it to the wetness of brown sugar and exfoliating my face in the morning, and in the afternoon i use same ammount but put it into a paste and leave it on for about 15 min and then wash it off. well, nothing has happened. at all. idk if im doing it wrong[ i told my friend about it and she said it burnt alot wen she did it but nothing happened with me], doing it too much, or stuff like that but bottom line it did nothing for me at all so far. maybe im just unlucky =[

Pros:

I've only used the baking soda water/peroxide paste mix for a few days but I can totally see a difference. It's worked better then any thing else I have tried so far.( but it's only been a few days so it might not be the best judge)

Cons:

It can sting abit, depending on the person it can be worse or better. My mother tried it and it hurt worse for her then it did for me. Which is strange because I have very sensitive skin.

The bottom line for me is that this is the only product that has really actually helped me. And like many people have been saying, it's so cheap! Not to mention easy to do. I'd recommend this to anyone before they tried things like Proactiv or Murad. And why not? Easy, cheap and affordable not to mention for most people it seems to be working! I'd say though that those who use it should get a good lotion or oil like Jojoba, Aloe Vera and even Olive Oil. I've also seen people mix a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and drink it and this helping many problems such as the dreaded acne. Anyway I am very happy with this, I'm even thinking about going without foundation make up which I haven't done outside the privacy of my own home since I was 12!

Pros:

Make my skin so soft and feel clean, hopefully clear up my pimples

Cons:

if you have sensitive skin like mine, putting it too long or too much on your face may cause irritation

I used it once or twice 2 weeks ago by putting some with a little water to make a paste on my face and left it over night. I didnt make my pimples better, even irritated and caused redness. Today I gave it one more try, but this time i just mixed it with my cleanser and used it as a mild exfoliator. After patting dry, my face feels so smooth and soft, no irritation at all. I'll use this for 2 more weeks and leave feedback again :)

Pros:

CHEAP WAY OF GETTING RID OF ACNE PROBLEMS WITH ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS

Cons:

MIGHT DRY OUT THE SKIN BUT FOR THIS I PUT A LITTLE MILK INTO THE MIXTURE

HERE IS WHAT REALLY WORKS, I HAVE SEEN IT AND IT IS INCREDIBLE HOW FAST THE SKIN GETS CLEARED UP AND SOFT, IT WORKS LIKE A MIRACLE. WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE TO GET A HEALTHY LOOKING SKIN QUICK, IS: IN A CUP POUR HONEY, LEMON(EQUAL AMOUNTS)ADD GROUND CINNAMON, GROUND NUTMEG APPLY ON SKIN FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES(THE LONGER THE BETTER, SO OVERNIGHT IS IDEAL BUT MESSY!) THESE 4 TOGETHER ARE GREAT PIMPLE FIGHTERS THANKS TO THE ANTIOXIDANTS AND SKIN REPAIRING. RINSE OFF WITH WARM WATER AND MAKE SURE YOU USE A MOISTURIZING OIL FREE SOAP BAR OR FACIAL CLEANSER. DRY SKIN SECOND STEP:IN ANOTHER CUP MIX BAKING SODA, LEMON AND A LITTLE MILK, APPLY ON AFFECTED AREAS ALWAYS WITH COTTON BALLS COS FINGERS CARRY TOO MANY BACTERIAS, LEAVE ON UNTIL DRIES. THEN KEEP DRINKING A LOT OF WATER AND GREEN TEA IS EXCELLENT FOR SKIN AMONG THE COUNTLESS VIRTUES THIS HAS TO OFFER TO YOUR BODY AND HEALTH! THIS WORKS, TRY IT, YOU'LL BE AMAZED!

Pros:

Seriously? Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

Made my acne WORSE. Like, really bad. My face burned! My sensitive skin was itchy and scratchy and rough!
I had "very light" skin, and THIS stuff made me "moderate" overnight!

Don't ever do this to your face! It is DOOM

Pros:

Works GREAT for acne scars

Cons:

Doesn't really help with acne, burns like h***

I have a LOT of acne scars on my forehead and I noticed a big difference in acne scares. It burns really bad the first couple of times you use it, but I got use to it. Overall I'd recommend it for acne scars but not acne, cuz it didn't help me. I mixed it with a little hydrogen peroxide and an acne spot treatment with salicylic acid. Use it as a mask with a liquid or mix it with your face wash.
