HP for Acne on Forehead
I've never dealt with acne, not even in my teenage years (I'm 31 now). Over the past Summer, when my AC broke, I started to breakout on my forehead and over the next few months it got worse and worse, my forehead literally covered. I've tried everything from expensive cleansers and toners, to even being at the point of going to a dermatologist for a medication. As a female, you know how embarrassing this can be. And honestly, who has the money to buy every product on the market? Not me. I was at the point of no return and I know hydrogen peroxide is not to be put on your face long term but I figured, what do I have to lose? Plus, after trying all these fancy products, I figured, why not go back to basics? I started putting peroxide directly on my forehead with a cotton ball. Literally, it's only been a few days and already, most of the pimples are close to being gone. My husband has even noticed the difference! Yes, it does make your face scab and get really dry, so this is not a long term solution but it is the only thing that has helped me. If you use it too long, you will probably have more breakouts, as the dryer your face gets, the more oil it will produce to try to correct itself. So, again, I don't recommend it for long term use and definitely do at a time when you won't be leaving the house much for a few days but my face looks the best it has since my breakout started.

Pros:

Works within minutes. I put this on an ingrown hair that I picked at and I immediately saw it working to reduce redness. I put this on a developing zit and within minutes I felt it disappearing.

Cons:

Stings if applied to a cut like after shaving.

Use it at least once a day, specifically before going to bed. My current regimen includes: Morning, night: 10% benzyl peroxide Afternoon: cetaphil cleanser before bed: 3% hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball

Pros:

Well, it actually clears up acne. :)

Cons:

None that I know of.

It's crazy, but this seriously works! Unfortunately I found out AFTER I ordered ProActive. Lol. (Btw, that stuff isn't as great as they advertise.) I wash my face in the morning with my ProActive face wash so I don't have to waste it since I just bought it... then I put Hydrogen Peroxide on as a replacement of that other toner that comes with the kit..Since all it did was dry my face horribly! Then after about 5 minutes, I rinse it off. And then I do it again before I go to bed. Just make sure you use moisturizer! You'll be pleasantly suprised, try it.

good so far
I've been using hydrogen peroxide on my acne thats on my forehead for the past 3 days and it seemed to have really helped. First I washed my face then took a cotton ball and poured the peroxide on it and dabbed it all over my face then went to sleep. I do this in the morning and night. At first when I put this on it stings and got a little red but after about an hour the redness goes away and you wake up with a clearer looking skin!

GREAT SO FAR
I usually get the odd pimple but for the last few months I've been affected by mild acne. We had ran out of astringent so my mom said to use hydrogen peroxide instead. I've only just applied it to my pimples, holding it on top of them for a few seconds with q-tips. Although it's made my face red, the pimples have been immediately and significantly dried out. I hope the redness goes down and assume that a soft exfoliator tomorrow morning will leave my face clear.

aloe vera straight from the plant
I just bought peroxide today and I'm going to try this but for everyone who needs a moisturizer to help heal scars and stop the itching the dryness and the burning USE ALOE VERA STRAIGHT FROM THE PLANT. I have an aloe plant and I pull a stem from the bottom cut it open on the side and all the clear gel that the plant produces rub in on your face in helps fast and feels great on your skin. And if you even wanted you can it the plant it has amazing benefits for your body not one harmful thing can come out of it. Don't believe me definitely look it up.

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!

So Far So Good!
Just put some on and it seems like it's working! I took a q-tip and put it on the pimples and scars and they are bubbling. For those who are reading this and haven't tried it, bubbling is good. It means it's cleaning your pores! I can't wait till' tomorrow!

Pros:

Great for eliminating cysts easily.

Hydrogent Peroxide is best used for treating and eliminating cysts. Step 1. Clean one your fingertips and dip it into a hydrogen peroxide solution and soak it for like 10 seconds. 2. Quicly move the back end of your fingertip to press the cyst. Hold and press on the cyst for 10 seconds. Continue to dab hydrogen peroxide on the cyst and pressing down on the cyst with your soaked fingertip for up to 30 seconds. 3 Wait for it to dry naturally and return in about a hour. Squeeze the cyst and all the gunk will easily and naturally come out. This a great way to naturally and easily treat your cyst. Afterwards, the redness will subside and just leave a small red dot where the gunk came out.
