Pros:

Works well
works fast
cheap
doesn't smell

Cons:

bleaches hair
my hair turned from dark brown to blonde...

It's great. i've used tons of acne products. I've even used prescription creams and pills. This is just as effective for me, & way cheaper. You can pay over $100 for prescription or you can spend $2.00 on this.

Pros:

less irritating than Benzoyl Peroxide
can be used long term
very very cheap

Cons:

not an overnight relief
stings on first few tries
can bleach the hair
can be a bit drying, so use moisturizer
takes a week to see the effect

for 50 cents at food4less, it's almost free! anyone who haven't tried this is surely missing his life.

Pros:

THIS STUFF ROCKS!!!

Hydrogen Peroxide literally saved my life. Before I started using it I had horrible acne. I was so ashamed of how bad my acne was that it caused me to be depressed, miss school, etc. SO GIVE IT A TRY!!!! :)

Cons:

Drys skin.

Make sure to apply lotion to your face about 5 minutes after applying Hydrogen Peroxide.

Clears Acne.

So far so good!
I pretty much tried everything for my hormonal acne and this stuff seems to work pretty good!? I'm surprised because wtf it's 3% hydrogen peroxide and I'm already seeing some of my acne scars fading away!! I've been using it for about a week now as a toner and I use the Aveeno Ezcema Therapy lotion as a moisturizer (this really helps with Retin A peeling/redness). You really need to moisturize after using it as a toner so you don't end up overworking the oils in your face = grease face. Just make sure that you don't end up getting it in your eyebrows or your hairline as I'm sure it will lighten over time.

How mich time did you leave it on?
November 16, 2012

Pros:

Works great after one use.
Doesn't dry out skin much
Inexpensive
Easy to use

Cons:

None so far

It's working great for me. I have tried soooo many acne treatments from over the counter to prescription to home remedies you name it. This is the best 'toner' I've tried so far. I think I finally have my acne under control. I use Noxema as a face wash. 3% HP as a toner (must wash off before moisturizing) & Nivea as a moisturizer. Also I take Zinc(50mg)pills once a day. & Drink plenty of water!!! ***Note: Any HP over 3% is too harsh on your skin. & Will do more damage than help.

Pros:

Works quickly
Cheap
Easy to apply

Cons:

Stings a little

Had a pimple in my ear that was starting to become painful (I wear headsets at work), and I saw a suggestion for HP online and gave it a shot. I applied HP to my ear with a q-tip, and the pimple was completely gone a few days later. Had no idea HP was so 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.)

Pros:

Cheap
Easy to use
Effective

Cons:

Slight tingle
Possibly not a long term solution?

Im 29 years old and I have suffered from acne since I can remember. I must also add that I have issues with skin picking, thus making it that much harder to clear my skin. Its always a constant battle of trying to clear my face but being unable to stop picking. I have tried MANY different washes, creams etc and nothing has helped. The other night I decided to try HP and I was very surprised at how much it healed my skin in just ONE night- shrinking current acne and lightening old scars. I only apply to the troubled areas and stay clear of eyebrows/hair as it will bleach it. Also HP can be used for many others things... mouth wash, teeth whitener(sparingly) etc. Its cheap, easy to find (probably have some in your bathroom right now) and easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from acne!
