Pros:

Clears away all bacteria and germs from the pore (after popping and clearing the puss) so the pimple won't have a chance to come back

Cons:

Stings like crazy on popped pimples (open flesh)!

Just make sure you get all the gunk and oozies out of the pimple first, then apply the hydrogen peroxide to the open pimple with a q-tip. It will probably sting and fizz up at first, but soon goes away. The fizzier it is, the more germs it is killing! Afterwards the pimple quickly flattens out and goes away, plus no scarring or hyperpigmentation!! Wahoo!

I'm giving it a try
I used this for the first time tonight, and right away my face turned bright red! Idk if it's a reaction or just temporary. But my blackheads and pimples seem to be going away pretty fast n this last hour. I just hope the redness goes away!

Pros:

Its been about a month since i last wrote a review...and its working great! I maybe have one or two pimples now every once in a while instead of the normal 7-8...I still have old acne marks from having problems with pimples for so long--but it is slowly fading since the peroxide has seemed to get ahold of the root of the problem.

Cons:

Wish it would clear up old marks faster...but atleast its working...This is the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5.

Try it!

Pros:

Works great...Amazing is the food grade h202

Cons:

stings a bit

..I buy food grade H202 works much better then the cheap stuff (not that the 3% is bad but food grade is much more powerful..You have to mix it with the right ammount of water that feels comfortable to your skin..I do about 30% h202 and 60-70% water I use less water if i want to see imediate results...stings a bit but can see spots bubbling that doesnt yet have acne so your killing the soon to be acne spots as well..I see results after a few hours they are about half the size and usually are completely gone in a day or two...Try the food grade youll love it...you can also put a few drops in 6-8 oz of water and drink for internal cleanser...helps with hormonal acne...just be careful not to use more then a few drops as too much can lead to sickness or even death if drunk straight...keep far away from children!!!

Pros:

Makes acne go away a couple day quicker. Kills the bacteria in pimples right on the spot by exposing the bacteria to O2, which kills them. Quick, cheap and easy way to help clear up break outs.

Cons:

Drys skin out a little bit. Just use it once a day right before you go to bed. Also, use it at night because as the O2 begins to kill the bacteria the pimple may turn bright white(but don't worry that means its working) and merely goes away in mins.

Great. CHEAP. Easy way to get rid of that awful pimple that somehow appears on your face during night.

Pros:

it drastically improved my skin, its like a freakin miricle!!!!!!!

Cons:

um i suppose it dries my skin just a tiny itty bitty bit.

its AMAZING i belive all the "side effects" that people are talking about, well those are the people who decide not to wash it off there skin. wash it off after like 60 seconds, and only use it once a day, and your skin will look 10x better

Pros:

Cheap, works amazingly, doesnt dry face

Cons:

It has a colourine like smell but goes away very quickly.

As long as you dilute it to between 1%-3% and only use it once or twice a day, this product is GREAT!!!! My acne is BAD. It came back after two courses of Acutane, never responded to antibiotics . My face is now acne free. This is absolutely amazing

Pros:

it works GREAT on huge and noticable zits. works in just ONE DAY! recommended to put on ONLY THE ACNE and NOT ALL OVER FACE.

Cons:

dries out skin. leaves small whiteheads [barely noticable though]. stings a little.

if you havent tried it. you should deffinately DO IT ! whats there to loose? theres NO WAY that your going to break you out (because hydrogen peroxide is a germ killing product, therefore you cant break out). if you get dry skin, use lotion after it is dried. i use olay. and my skin is now PERFECT, SPOTLESS, and NOT DRY in just TWO DAYS :) hooray. i tried almost everything from proactiv to what my dermatologist recommended. and nothing seems to work until i tried HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!

Pros:

Very inexpensive. Works.

Cons:

Bleaches skin around pimple a little but is back to normal by the morning.

After washing my face a use a Q-Tip to hold the peroxide on my pimples for about 15-30 seconds each and they are dramatically reduced in size and seem to go away faster.
