That’s another exaggerated skincare claim.
There’s no good scientific evidence that a “baking soda cream” will remove wrinkles or permanently clear blemishes. In fact, using it on your face can sometimes do more harm than good.
Here’s why:
- Baking soda is very alkaline (high pH)
Your skin is naturally slightly acidic. Applying baking soda can disrupt the skin barrier. - Possible side effects:
- dryness and irritation
- redness or burning
- increased sensitivity
- worsening acne in some people
- Wrinkles don’t work that way
Wrinkles are mainly caused by:- sun damage (UV exposure)
- loss of collagen with age
- genetics
No simple overnight paste can reverse that.
What actually helps more:
- daily sunscreen (most important)
- moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides
- retinoids (vitamin A derivatives, medically proven for wrinkles)
- gentle skincare routine, not harsh DIY chemicals
DIY skincare content like this is usually designed for engagement (“say something to get recipes”) rather than real dermatology advice.
If you want, tell me your skin type (oily, dry, acne-prone, sensitive), and I can suggest a simple routine that actually works without risking irritation.
