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!

it causes more breakouts
No i don't recommend this.. I got more acne, so i stopped using it.. If u want to try it choose an area of ur face where u don't usually breakout and apply it for 3 continues days, if u won't get acne u can use it for the rest of ur face.. And yeah regarding the bleaching effect, definitely it lightened me up but i feel it's useless to get brighter skin with pimples everywhere !!!! for people without acne, I think it might work for them.. P.s: skin type: oily / very sensitive skin type with some rosacea bumps appearing after using somthing not suitable for me..

Please do not use this. It is not made to be used on the face. It helped at first, but then caused a severe breakout due to the irritation.

Pros:

its cheap, easy to find, stops oily skin, makes your face feel clean.

Cons:

might smell funny if you really dislike certain smells. can dry out skin if you have dry skin.

I think it works, i have stress induced acne and im stressed all the time so i break out from one day to the next. i use hp with oxy clinical spot treatment. i usually try to put this stuff on 2-3 times a day because my skin is so oily. but it really stops my skin from getting greasy and has helped with some acne. ive only used it for a week so it should clear most of my acne up. ive use so many products like neutrogena, clean and clear, pro-active, st.ives face scrubs, zit zappers and anything else i could find. I used good grade vodka for a while to clean my face and that worked for a while until it stopped and my acne came back with a vengeance. i suggest you use it as a spot treatment so you dont over do it. and if your face can handle it hp then go all over your face with a face pad.

Pros:

It has helped others

Cons:

Made my facial and chest acne much worse

I should've known not to try it, because my acne does not do well with benzoyl peroxide, but i figured i already had it and with all the glowing reviews it wouldn't hurt to try. however, within a week my face was all broken out (even my forehead and eyebrow region which is definitely unusual). I had also tried it on the two really small pimples on my chest and a week later my whole chest has broken out in more pimples. I know it's not a purging stage because I've gone through so many purging stages and this just looked like my acne getting worse. I discountinued use and my face is already much better in one day. However, i still recommend trying it since it's worked for so many people. But if you don't do well with benzoyl peroxide, i'd probably stay away from it.

Pros:

I literally used HP 5 minutes ago, and I have to look at the mirror really close to see them, except for one big one but its significantly reduced the size and redness.

Cons:

None, Its awesome!

Schools in a day, and I had a couple zits and its so far done really well. I used a whole bunch of cleansers and all that crap. And it showed Small changes. Spent 40 dollars on Acne treatment, and Then I see HP sitting in the bathroom shelf and use it at risk, and I see it changed my zits alot. Don't worry about white spots near the treated area, that will just go away in 10 minutes.

Pros:

Uhh... i guess it clears acne. Apparently its suppose to be life changing and clear it up fast, but it didn't work so fast for me..

It does fight off infections (cuz no one wants that) and is CHEAP!

Cons:

Didn't work fast for me. Took a while

Give it a shot. There's nothing to lose. If it works, sweet action, but if not, well, use it anyway because it will kill germs and fight off infection. I actually take a cotton ball and apply it to my whole face once a week (not just the pimple) to clean out my pores and prevent acne. That seems to help a little. But whatever works for you i guess. Everyone's different.

Pros:

Kills acne bacteria incredibly fast,

Cons:

but gives me a rash (nasty bumps) because I rubbed it on face too often.

I prefer this over BP; just make sure you use it no more than 2 times a day. I used too much of it on the same spots, like 5 times a day, because I am impatient. Remember, try it on one spot and see what happens, I am sure it'll be quite effective.
