Pros:

clears your skin

Cons:

dries skin

Before I go to bed I wipe my face with rubbing alcohol, rinse my face, then hydrogen peroxide. It clears my skin mostly, leaves some break outs. But for the most part it works better than any other acne treatments I've tried.

Pros:

The white bubbling is gross but kind of cool to watch it reduce acne before your eyes!

Cons:

Smell. Also, the stinging can be moderate to barely noticeable depending on severity of the individual pimple.

Have spot pimples and also a bad case of folliculitis. Seems to be working really well so far. If using for folliculitis, have a friend/ family member apply to pimples on your head (directly on pimple) to avoid hair dying. Works best if pimple has been popped or opened so that the HP can mix directly with the bacteria.

Pros:

I have light acne on my upper arms that I was having trouble getting to go away. I found this page and tried it and when i woke up in the morning my acne was nearly gone!

Cons:

Burns if you get it in a cut (duh) and it doesn't smell great.

Hydrogen Peroxide works really really good for getting rid of acne. Luckily i'm not one of the people who have terrible acne i just had some on my upper arms which almost went away and the ones that are still there are greatly reduced in size. You have nothing to lose from this just try it, you shouldn't be sorry xD

Pros:

Super cheap

Cons:

Slightly drying

I get painful cystic zits along my lip line. After popping an especially painful one (probably not recommended by dermatologists), I dabbed some peroxide on my inflamed pore. It stung a bit but it wasn't a big deal. Ten minutes later, I looked in the mirror and the peroxide literally sucked all the oil out. A huge drop of oil was on the top on my skin (gross I know). Also the redness went down big time.

Pros:

Clears acne lightens old scars and complexion /it's very affordable/ it works

Cons:

drying and stings a little

use it as a spot treatment on a daily basis and once or twice a week use it as a toner all over your face. For emergency situations dilute an aspirin and a few drops of HP - apply over affected area- leave it for about 10 minutes and rinse. Use a good oil free moisturizer to avoid premature wrinkles. Use it consistently for better results-It works wonders

Pros:

Helps to diminish and prevents acne. if u have a pimple to get rid of apply three times a day after washing your face and it should dry off by the next day or night. I honestly apply it every night before bed and it helps.

Cons:

a change in your diet can really trigger you to break out more than usual so watch out. meats and poultry contains hormones which can trigger acne.

Its Cheap and it helps when used properly!

Pros:

Have been on like 6 different acne meds and currently using proactiv BUT I tried this and its simply amazing!! Already clearing up after a day....goodbye proactive :)

Cons:

Stings a little and turns face a little white...but this all goes away really quick.
Dries face, but I just use a moisturizer after and its fine

If nothing else works for you definitely try it! All I know is my acne is FINALLY clearing up after around 2 years.
