Pros:

Makes acne go away a couple day quicker. Kills the bacteria in pimples right on the spot by exposing the bacteria to O2, which kills them. Quick, cheap and easy way to help clear up break outs.

Cons:

Drys skin out a little bit. Just use it once a day right before you go to bed. Also, use it at night because as the O2 begins to kill the bacteria the pimple may turn bright white(but don't worry that means its working) and merely goes away in mins.

Great. CHEAP. Easy way to get rid of that awful pimple that somehow appears on your face during night.

Pros:

it drastically improved my skin, its like a freakin miricle!!!!!!!

Cons:

um i suppose it dries my skin just a tiny itty bitty bit.

its AMAZING i belive all the "side effects" that people are talking about, well those are the people who decide not to wash it off there skin. wash it off after like 60 seconds, and only use it once a day, and your skin will look 10x better

Pros:

- Great for post zit-popping
- Clears skin

Cons:

- Smells and tastes bad
- Burns
- Dries skin
- Takes some time to see results
- Can be counterproductive if used too often

I used to use HP twice a day like you would use a toner (apply some to a cotton pad and wipe all over face) but I think it was too much for my skin (note I have sensitive skin) and caused all these little rough bumps and some whiteheads. I think this happened because using it that much irritated my skin. I switched to using it once a day at night (sometimes skipping a day) and it's much better. I've found that it's amazing for popped zits. I used to pop a zit and then the next day it would be back with no improvement. Now, I pop the zit and pour HP on it and the next day it's dried out. Many people say it's better to use a cotton pad/q-tip to apply HP rather than to pour it directly on your face, but for me pouring it on a just-popped zit is much more effective. However, be SUPER careful if you do it this way, you don't want to get it in your eyes, hair or clothes. For that reason, I wouldn't pour it on a zit on my forehead, but I do for pimples on my cheeks/chin/etc. Also, doing this may cause the infected area to turn white. This happened to me tonight, but I put some warm water on a tissue and held it on the white skin for 10 mins and it was much better. Just be careful and educate yourself on the proper usage and precautions of HP!

Pros:

Can see it working
Is less drying than other acne medication
Does help create the puss to pop a pimple

Cons:

have none
stinging is not that bad

Its worth a try. However, no matter what, pimples takes time to disappear. But over drying makes them looks worse and more red.

Pros:

I had blackheads everywhere. And the occassionally zit. but the main thing was the blacksheads on my nose, chin, forehead, and its like they were spread to my cheeks it was bad. I figured what do i have to lose. Two day already see improvement.

Cons:

It can dry your face out, but just rinse it off after about a couple minutes. Then mousurize!! It also will bleach your eyebrows, BEWARE!

Works, a work that you can feel. The deep clean. I used everything in the world for acne. Who knew like the best solution was in my first aid cabinet!! I dont know if and or what the side effects are though. I have senitive skin pretty bad, and it didnt bother it!

Pros:

-Cheap
-Heals cystic acne very quickly

Cons:

-None that I can think of

On Monday of this week I had 2 huge, painful cystic pimples and was at a loss about to do. Since they were bleeding and painful I cleaned them with HP and went to bed. When I got up they were about 60% gone! Today is Saturday and not only are they completely gone my scars have diminished greatly. It cost me $1.20 CAD for a bottle, so give it a shot!

Pros:

Worked very well !! Turns acne red at first and makes it more visible so it looks worse, but overnight the redness, swelling, and pustules all diminsh. Hydrogen peroxide Cleared up a MAJOR cyctic breakout i had.

Cons:

Smells harsh, burns and dries, fumes stings the eyes.

Definitely worth a try! I can't believe how well it worked. Cleans up infections and reduces swelling.
