Pros:

Immediate results with an unexpected reducing of mild acne scarring as well!

Cons:

Worries about bleaching my eyebrows and hair line arround face.

Peroxide is working great not only on my acne but is getting rid of my mild scarring as well! I put lotion on my eye brows to keep them from bleaching and using round cotton pads I apply the peroxide over my entire face. The results were immediate!

Pros:

cheap, effective, safe for topical usage during pregnancy

Cons:

none that I have ascertained thus far, but I have read that like benzoyl peroxide, H. peroxide can cause premature aging of the skin due to free radical production. As such, I have determine to use it as a spot therapy only for as long as needed

My skin has been erupting terribly since the onset of my pregnancy, probably due to hormonal changes. I have tried tea tree oil (soap and pure) applied topically, only to find that it increased the severity of my breakouts. Hydrogen peroxide applied straight to infected areas of my face has worked wonderfully. My acne is actually clearing up.

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.

Pros:

Gets rid of zits quickly(whether popped or emerging) and any swell goes away quickly

Cons:

Stings on open flesh but that's to be expected

It seems to be working greatly as long as you don't go back and bug a zit constantly while its healing. My face has cleared up and I do not see any emerging zits. I apply directly but my skin seems to not react harshly to it(probably because there are oils on my skin since I never use any kind of soap on my face, yep hydrogen peroxide is all that I am using, and only about once a day with a q-tip).

Pros:

It fizzles away germs of the face! It works routines as well as on the spot! Does not smell! And stings only on a popped zit!

Cons:

Bleaches the tips of hair if not careful, and eyebrows (just a little though). It's worth it though.

I apply it with a cotton pad after washing my face with Neoceutical Antibacterial Face Wash. Do not apply H202 straight on face: mix the peroxide with an equal amount of water. And when using it as a spot-treatment, put straight H202 on a pad/tissue and keep on spot for 15min. The spot will turn white, and rapidly disappear. But do not put H202 straight on daily (unless mixed with equal amount of water) for it is plainly too strong on your face. Its cheap and SO EASY to put into your routine! And if it works for you its so worth it! Takes about 2 weeks.

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!

Pros:

I mix crushed asprin and hydrogen peroxide together and exfoliate with it putting a little extra on the pimples. It will bring them to a head in 15 minutes!!!

Cons:

It stings like hell!

Try it!!!
