I read that if you mix equal parts of baking soda & water & rub it on the affected areas, it will help decrease your blackheads.
Is this true? Have you tried it? If so, how well (or not well) has it worked for you?

I wash with baking soda; use about a half teaspoon, and a pump of facial cleanser, then wash as usual. This makes a good exfoliating scrub. Eventually it'll have an effect on blackheads, but it's better to use baking soda wash as a preventative measure.

Baking soda will exfoliate the skin and will remove some of the blackheads. Blackheads form when the debris clogging the pore oxidizes. I've used a hairpin to remove them.

A paste of baking soda & water rubbed gently over your face will help exfoliate & keep pores clear.
I've tried it & it does help but I prefer to use other methods. (i.e. Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads, Avon Microdermabrasion face scrub)
Swabbing your face w/ a cotton pad soaked in hydrogen peroxide will help bleach the tops of the black heads but some people find it irritating. I've done this & it did help but it also dried out my skin.
Benzoyl peroxide & salicylic products will help clear blackheads too. Neutrogena is the most reliable brand across the board. (Their Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask has clay & b.p. I like to use it as a mask instead of a cleanser.)

I mix it into my cream cleanser to exfoliate with. Then I would apply a deep pore strip to the affected area. I would then tone and apply a light moisturizer.
