Yeah this seems plausible. The alkalinity of the baking soda probably helped and if olive oil is anti-bacterial (I personally don't know, but it is scientifically recognise that other plant products such as mint and garlic are) then that would definitely have helped clear it up.
Leaving it on for a long time was a good idea.
So well done, you managed to make a home-made treatment that wasn't the normal routine of:
- throwing random useless ingredients together
- hoping for the best
- marvelling when you recover on account of placebo, or recover naturally
Proactiv didn't treat my acne but baking soda is.
