Works great! But...
Cons:
not a long term cure
After experiencing a really bad breakout last year, all over my cheeks and temples (still working on clearing it all up, scars mostly) I was searching relentlessly for something to clear it up. I was trying stuff specifically for acne, like Proactiv and what not, most of which didn't work. Getting fed up, I asked my mom what she thought I should do and she said "why not try hydrogen peroxide?" I thought it was a long shot but I tried it, and to my surprise it worked really well!! However, I found that the more often I used it, it was almost like I was using it so much I was becoming immune and it wasn't working as well as it did initially. So for short term and for a few pimples here and there, it's a quick and easy fix, but it won't clear up your skin completely. At least from my experience. I still use it from time to time for new breakouts and it works. For long term results, I'm focusing on slightly changing my diet.

IT WORKS!!!!!
Pros:
everything
Cons:
drying
I broke out with sudden severe cystic acne after using the Oil Cleansing Method. I have had progressively bad acne for over 2 months now. This is the only thing I've tried that works without irritating my skin. It dries out your pimples and makes your skin a bit dry, but it's actual doing something and I'm thrilled. I've only used for 3 days but so far I'm seeing wonderful results. I use it only on my acne, which covers both cheeks and chin but nothing else.

I had the same thing happen to me but from the oil pulling method and now my face is horrible. I have dealt with acne all my life but never anything as bad as this. Not only do I have the cystic acne on my cheeks, jawline and chin but I also get these large pores on my checks as well. The HP shrunk a huge zit by 50% in one day. I do use a moisturizer. After I apply the HP, I let it dry completely and then put a moisturizer all over my face. I am 55 and it is important to moisturize. I have very oily skin so I use a non-oily brand.

Best thing to use on whiteheads and popped pimples!
Pros:
Cheap
Works
Heals pimples
Cons:
Can burn
The smell kinda..
This stuff is awesome. Not only does it help bring out the infection in whiteheads, but it heals popped pimples. It does sometimes sting, but that means it's actually working to get out the infected bacteria. I haven't used this all over my face like some people do, but on single zits, it's awesome.

Works like a charm! Cheaper too!
I use an apricot cleanser, was using an astringent, and then a topical cream for my breakouts. Even doing this twice daily it seemed like it take several days to clear up, then I'd break right back out. I ran out of astringent and used hydrogen peroxide "temporarily" -- well I'm switching all together bc it started clearing up within 1 day instead of 3... with no sign of return. And I only have been using it once daily (unless I wear makeup that day, which I rarely do.)

Beats spending $20 or more a month and it works!
Pros:
affordable
small or large bottle goes a long way
other uses
I use peroxide directly on the pimple. I will pop the pimple and then apply the peroxide with a Q-tip directly on the open pimple to avoid infection. It begins to bubble and turn white which means to me it is working deep down beneath the skin. After a few hours or even the next day if applied at night the bacteria from the pimple seems to surface making it easier to get the black or white head out. Also the area seems to heal a lot faster with minimal scaring. I continue to apply the peroxide until healed. I like to use a acne medication that cost $20 but I hate to spend that much on a monthly basis.

Not for sensitive skin
Pros:
Disinfects skin?
Cons:
Dried out skin
Burns
Made spots and cuts persist longer
It dried out my skin sooooo badly and it didn't help any of my existing acne go away. If anything, it made the spots persist longer and any open wounds I had too. Gave me small flesh bumps along my cheeks and jawline. I discontinued over two weeks ago and my skin has gotten ALOT better.

LOVE it!
Pros:
it's cheap
effective
Cons:
may dry out your skin
I've never actually wrote a review about any product, but i feel like I have to do it for this one. I've been having acne for the past 4 years and this has helped me soooo much! I use 3% hp as a toner on my skin every night, before going to bed and yes, it's curing my acne for the most part. I'm so happy with it and i can't believe it's sooo cheap, but so effective at the same time!
I feel like recommending it, but do not use hp if it's higher the 3/4 %, cause it can be too harsh for your skin!
I'm super satisfied so far!

Good Uses
Pros:
Cleans pores
Oxidizes any open pimple
Cons:
Smells
Leave a sticky layer behind
I know I shouldn't be doing this but when I use my exactor to pop some on my white heads or pimples. I use to clean the exactor between each one and wipe on face after to clean anything I didn't off my face

Yeah basically
Pros:
Works
Cons:
can be drying
It dries out the zit. Put it directly on the pimple and that's it though. Like at night before bed. After you've washed your face.
Pros:
reduces pimple size quickly
super cheap
doesn't irritate skin
