Pros:

works fast, dies pimples, helps with redness and inflammation, cheap

Cons:

smells bad, can overdry if not careful, i hear it bleaches hair (but im blonde, so not sure if this is true), white streaks on skin if used too much

works well with a stubborn breakouts, but never ever use this more than once a day. horrible side effects for me. however, it works well for popped pimples and hard-to-clear spots. i use it as a toner every once in a while, and its great for that.

Pros:

Tried it for a few days using a cotton ball twice everyday, and got rid of my breakouts. Has been doing its magic for over three weeks now with no signs of pimples and giving my skin a soft & smooth feel. Its very cheap and any store sells it.

Cons:

It gives an orange color to your hair if not carefully used. For this, I use a cotton swab for those spots.

Acne be gone household remedy!!! Good Luck!!

Pros:

Cleared up my skin, within the first three days of using it.

Cons:

face did get dry, but i use vitacilina (Spanish) over the counter product to help with the dryness. Also... has a con on bleaching the hair, if your not careful.

hydrogen peroxide is cheap, works, and gets straight to the problem. I've tried proactive sucks, leaves my skin severely sensitive to the sun, and takes longer to apply, not to mention how expensive it is.

Pros:

Reduces redness, reduces size of pimples

Cons:

Burns a little when applied

I just put this on today after i broke out very bad on my forehead the night before. I put this on my forhead and about an hour later i saw a difference in redness and size, the pimples that broke out all over my forhead are barely noticable and it has only been about 8 hours since i put it on. I dont know if it prevents pimples yet but I will see! I recommend this definitely.

Pros:

It works within a day. My face looks white and smooth. People say I look younger. You can also use it as a mouth wash and it prevent mouth sores.

Cons:

If you apply H2O2 close to your eyes it releases fumes that can irritate your eyes.

It works fast and it is cheap. Don't buy Proactiv or other phonny products that don't work.

Pros:

Works very well in a short amount of time

Cons:

Most people say it does not smell, but I think that it it is bearable, but not pleasant

Just dip Q-tip or cotton ball in the hydrogen peroxide and apply where necessary. It's that EASY! =D I recommend that this 'treatment' should at least be tried. If it doesn't work, then there are always other methods of clearing acne.

do not recommend
I tried this as a spot treatment on several black heads and pimples. It only caused scabbing then scarring and when the scab and scar faded, the exact same black head was still there. Hydrogen peroxide actually may slow the production of healthy skin cell rejuvenation. It does seem to help disinfect things but not ideal for face and acne. I have found that Melrose essential oil works wonders though.
