Pros:

cheap, works super well, I'm loving it.

Cons:

none so far at all, I guess if I had to pick a con it would be smell.

works amazing, people on here are saying that it is drying and this could be true, but I ALWAYS moisturize after using it. my routine is this wash face with a face wash made for acne/oily skin wipe skin lightly with peroxide on a cotton ball make sure ALL makeup is removed (sleeping in makeup can cause major acne) and moistureize

Pros:

As you would expect from hydrogen peroxide, it kills surface germs and clears the skin from superficial germs. An extremely affordable solution from $.68 to $.98 for a larger bottle.

Cons:

The larger bottle can be cumbersome for the cotton ball. It does gradually bleach hair around the face if not careful. It leaves dead skin white/bleached. It does have bit of a smell but nothing you would cringe your nose at.

I use this as a toner of sort. Especially effective after shaving of the face, prevents infected cuts and razor burn. Plus, it picks up anything left over after. Give it a try, especially since a small bottle costs you less than a dollar.

clears my pimples right up..works especially good after you pop them.

This product is great! its so cheap and it works amazing! put it on a qtip and apply it to your pimples, on those big painful ones it will sting pretty bad but it works so well.

Cystic Acne
I've had cystic acne for years now. I've tried many things and I have yet to be majorly impressed with any spot treatment I try. I've tried tea tree oil (which does work nicely sometimes but it depends where my breakout is), lemon juice, BP, multiple all natural face masks, honey, rice water, and the list goes on and on. The only things I've tried that I truely love are chemical peels and regular exfoliation. I've given hydrogen peroxide a try a few times. I think generally it does work alright for a spot treatment, but I will never use it as an actual face wash. As desperate as I am to finally have pain free skin, I still want to protect my skin so it can look nice when, or if, I ever do get clear skin. Usually after applying it, I can feel a slight itchyness. My doctor says when cystic acne itches it's a sign of healing and I do notice it feels a little more calm afterwards. Cystic acne is hard to treat from the outside, but I think hydrogen peroxide can penetrate the skin more easily than bp and other common acne treatments but that's just in my experience and I can't speak for people with regular acne using hp.
