Pros:
Dries up acne more quickly than any topical medication we've tried, and seems to prevent some breakouts......
Cons:
My son says that it itches and burns at first, but then when it's completely dry, it stops burning and itching.
This has become our family's "miracle cure" for acne. My son was beginning to be plaqued w/pimples on his face, chest, and back, and as none of the prescription creams were working for him, it seemed like he was on the road towards taking oral acne meds. As a last ditch resort, after reading this site, I tried using a baking soda/water paste. Within days, his skin was looking better. :-) We now use a baking soda/hydrogen peroxide paste (I just mix baking soda & peroxide until it is a thin paste). Every night, before bed, we "paint" his face, chest, and back w/the paste. He then goes to bed & lies on a beach towel. By morning, most of the baking soda is on the towel, but at least we know that it was on his body for awhile. My son loves the results of using this, and feels that it's worth the 5minutes of itching while the stuff dries..............

Pros:
ok exfoliator
Cons:
stinging, burning, itching, and my acne got worse: I believe this is too harsh with active acne/sensitive skin. It may be great for very mild acne/oily skin. My skin is too dry already but still has moderate acne.
I won't use it again.

You have to try this.I've been using it since yesterday..and already..my acne has dried up..its a good thing to use a moisturizer however..other than that..I plan to use it in replace of Pro-Activ..that only breaks my skin out.. I use Baking Soda..not the powder.

I'm in my late 30's and have been suffering since my teen years. I was reading some of the posts on this site earlier tonight and just had to try this. So I went out and got me some baking soda and mixed it with lemon juice instead of water. I made a very thin paste and left it on for about 30 minutes. I had a mild tingling when it was drying but I LOVED the feel of my skin when I washed it off. My skin felt very dry when I washed and blotted dry my skin and I had also read that olive oil is a great natural moisturizer so I put that on as well. I also read that you should change your pillow case often. So I am trying all these things at once and I am hoping that the combination will be a winner for my long suffering. so here goes.

honestly, i've been using baking soda this past 2 days and did't make acne cleared up but my pore size reduced. i still reccommend it and use it b'coz who knows you might see the effect after 1-2 weeks of use

Pros:
effective, affordable, works quickly
Cons:
tingling/slight burning, flaking
I belong to a hairboard for African-American women. One of the women online mentioned that she uses a baking soda and water mixture on her face. Her results were very healthy-looking skin with no breakouts. It has only been 2 days since I have been using the product, and I really like it. As I write this, I sit with a baking soda and egg-white mixture on my face. I have been using Proactiv for about 7 years. It has been the only thing that works for me, but I seem to have hit a wall in terms of effectiveness. I have been trying very expensive products recently, in search of the "miracle" product for my skin. NOTHING seems to do anything for the dark and dry patches on my skin. The baking soda mixture seems to be making a difference, however. I plan to use it over the next few weeks and will post any progress that is made.

Pros:
Effective, very cheap, easy
Cons:
Itches while on face, crumbles off on everything when dry
I've been using baking soda as a mask for about five months, every few days, and I love it. Combined with the daily routine recommended on this site, it's miraculous. However, my skin is very strong and not at all sensitive, but if yours is, leave it on only a few minutes before washing off.
Pros:
it made most of my acne go away.
