    I use this to exfoliate every 2 days. It is a great, gentle exfoliant. I use Cetaphil gentle cleanser and I have a squirt of cetaphil then sprinkle a small amout of baking soda into my palm and...

    I mixed this with my cleanser once, and when I put my lotion it burned. It burned every time I put a product on it for two days.

    I've been using this for a couple of weeks, and it has done absolutely nothing. I think it has also made my skin sore :/. I will buy this again but for different purposes.

    I mix this in with cleanser when I need a quick exfoliate. It makes my skin super soft. I can't say I've noticed less breakouts but after using about twice a week I've noticed softer skin,...

    I buy baking soda all the time for use in the kitchen , etc, but NOT on my face. This made my sensitive skin red and irritated as soon as I rinsed it off and I didn't even scrub hard! I mixed it...

    I've used a lot of commercial scrubs, but I keep coming back to good old baking soda. I keep some in a cup in my medicine cabinet next to my sink, and I also have some in a screw top plastic jar...

    Off course I have to be the voice of dissent on this one too. Unlike other reviewers I am of the unfortunate lizard skin variety. Yeah, this stuff is too GENTLE (however when I had a small cut on...

    Oh my goodness, good ol'baking soda. Very affordable and can be used in toothpaste to whiten teeth, and to keep me acne free. Most say only to use the baking soda scrub once a week, but I combine...

    For me, this works great. I understand what people are saying about it being disruptive to your skins natural balance, but I think moderation is key. I use baking soda as a scrub maybe once a...

    It's nice and gentle, and the price can't be beat, but I need a little more power in my exfoliation--scrubs with stiffer grains. Packaging wise, it's a little tricky not getting the...

    I've tried baking soda as a scrub, and I haven't seen any great benefits from doing so. It's just as well - I'm not entirely okay with washing my face with the same stuff I scrub my sink with. :D

    I do understand the appeal of using baking soda and admit to using it myself a few years ago but I found out the hard way how bad it is for skin. Actually, as a biochemist I KNEW it was bad for my...

    It would be virtually impossible at this point to have missed the memo that baking soda is a mighty strong deodorizer. Most of us by now know that baking soda can be placed in the refrigerator and...
