Pros:

Works better than RX's and Cheap

Cons:

Powder in a box not as convenient as liquids in the bottles.

I mix this with clean and clear moisturizer (the one with Salicylic Acid for blemish fighting) and use as my new cleanser. I am tired of dry skin and acne no matter what I ate or used on my skin so I went to the extreme of loading my skin with moisturizing lotion (which I used to fear would clog pores and worsen) bu add the baking soda as it has the cleaning properties. I have done it for about 2 weeks and after 18 months my skin is soft and healing and nothing new at all. The stubborn milia or small little painless bumps caused from BP products on my cheek is going away to after being there for months.

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.

Pros:

I am not really sure yet, I tried it for the first time today. But I am hoping that it will work due to all the positive comments about it. My forehead looks a bit better. But I will comment again when I know my results for sure.

Cons:

It is very drying and there is a sting when you put it on.

I am waiting right now for results. It may take a week or maybe overnight!!! I am pretty excited being that nothing else really seemed to help with my acne.

Pros:

Great exfoliator, my skin was soft afterward. :)

Cons:

itched while it dried. burned if i put it on any irritated areas. kind of drying.

ughhh. i wish it would have worked, but i don't think it helped very much. it's only been a couple of days, but i didn't see any super fast results like other people have been getting. i'll keep using it though, and i might post another review later. i made it into a paste and left it on overnight to spot-treat. i also washed my face with it once, but it was a little drying and didn't really help. i think other people should try it just because it makes your skin feel good and it might clear you up. :)

Pros:

Can't get any cheaper than this! It seems to be the only thing that works, too. Makes my skin super soft.

Cons:

Nothing, besides tasting a bit funky (but it's still better than if you get some of those other ones too close to your mouth).

Now that I've told people I'm having a baby, everyone seems to be an expert on every aspect of my life, but this advice I am glad to get. I had to stop taking Retin-A because of possible side effects and that on top of hormones has made my face crazy. A girl a work told me she just keeps a box in the shower and when she washes her face she dips her fingers in the box and scrubs her face. I decided to try it a few days ago and boy is my face soft! Already the redness is going away and my acne is getting smaller. I've always had a problem with redness long after the actual zit is gone but I think I'm winning that battle with a combo of baking soda and Aveeno's Calming moisterizer. I've been plagued with bad skin since the college stress kicked in a few years ago but have been wary of using harsh chemicals on my face. This is about as natural and good for you as they come. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Pros:

Easy, cheap, makes skin very soft!

Have only tried washing with it once but it definitely left my skin feeling soft. I mixed it with cetaphil cleanser. I also used a lot of moisturizer afterwards because my skin has been dry lately from using apple cider vinegar. Things are improving, I'll keep it up!

Pros:

Exfoliates skin.
It really works with me!!

Cons:

No cons for me...
Hmmm...
Maybe a little salty to taste ^_^

I think everyone should try baking soda.. First, mis baking soda with water then rub it on your face... after 3 minutes or 2, wash your face.. Me I use lemon juice after using it and it works great!! No more breakouts for me.... even my pores get smaller..

Pros:

Inexpensive, it works!!!! Clears blackheads, fewer pimples,softer skin.

Cons:

can burn

I mix it with a Salicylic Acid wash and scrub gently 2x a week. Excellent results. Wash off well with warm then cool water. Use a good moisturizer after. Why buy expensive, fancy label brands when this is so good and cheap?
