Cons:
stings a bit.
I saw a bunch of reviews on HP and decided to give it a shot. I was on doxy for almost 8 months and it worked amazingly for me. sadly I have become immune to the drug and I had a horrible breakout from a perfectly clear face. I was surprised of all the good reviews pertaining to this product. I hope it helps until I can go onto tetra.

Pros:
- Works instantly
- You can see and feel it working (warning: painful)
- Will, if properly applied - penetrate skin to work on an un-popped zit
- Penetrates deep on those recurrent 'underground' pimples
- Helps bring pimple to a head
- Speeds scabbing
- Speeds Healing
- Seems to reduce the formation or buildup of scar tissue
- Related to Benzoyl Peroxide - probably THE original acne medication - a testament to how well peroxides work on acne
- Dries excess o
Cons:
- Burns like a mofo
- Dries out the skin (partial: Pro)
- Will cause some skin to peel.
- Bleaches hair, eyebrows, beards and sometimes clothing if you're not careful.
- Causes zits to (temporarily) look really puss-filled and gross. Effect subsides after 10-15 minutes
- Slightly smelly - but less that some other treatments
Use it!
Seriously... It really works. Maybe better than anything else out there. And it's wicked cheap. I have never had much acne but when I do get the occasional zit, it's often a real doozy. For some reason, I seem to be breaking out more as I get older. Something to do with changing body chemistry. Anyway, this is the only thing that helps at all. A few spot applications, some waiting and some gentle squeezing coaxing at the appropriate time - and I can usually get it cleared up in as little as a day or two. You do have to be careful using it. Apply only on the zit and never around it as it dries the skin out. This seems to reduce the excess oils in the skin associated with acne so it really helps but you don't want to put it all over your face. Also, he reason it works as an antimicrobial is that it penetrates and oxidizes, thereby killing small organisms. Your skin cells are no different so, expect some peeling and don't over do it. It bleaches stuff too, so try to avoid hair and clothes unless you're already a platinum blonde in tennis whites. Also, it causes zits to appear more puss-filled than they actually are for a little while. Gross to look at. Effect subsides after about 10-15 minutes so don't apply in restaurant bathroom as you'll be there for awhile waiting for the whiteness to subside. Otherwise, Hydrogen Peroxide is Da Bomb and I would highly recommend it to anyone out there with acne issues. It's really cheap, available at any drug local store, works like a charm, and is basically a 'natural' remedy.

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.

Cons:
Lightened my hair. I used it on my forehead and it lightened black hair to a light brown.
It worked.
April 22, 2011
Pros:
You can feel it penetrating your pores and breaking down bacteria. Gives a more even skin tone over time by lightening red spots. Greatly reduces size of pimples and heals them more quickly. My skin seems to be handeling it quite well and I use it twice a day as a toner.
Cons:
Bleaches eyebrows if not careful when applying to forehead. A little dryness at times, nothing a little moisturizer can't fix.
I have been struggeling with severe acne since I was 14 and I am 24 now. I have spent so much money on proactive, antibiotics, tons of skin cleansers etc. I have been using H.P. as a toner for 5 months now, and I will never buy another skin product again (except a good face wash and moisturizer). To wash my face I use neutrogena "Clear Pore" skin cleanser/mask which has benzoyl peroxide in it. I notice that washing your face with the benzoyl peroxide works much better than leaving it on all day. Then I apply the H.P. as a toner after washing, using a moisturizer or sun screan afterwards. This is the only thing that has ever worked consistantly for me. I suggest that anyone try it that has had no luck with other skin products. I think the benzoyl peroxide makes acne worse if left on all day. Hydrogen peroxide WORKS.

Pros:
Works quickly
Doesnt smell
Cheap
Doesnt dry to bad
Cons:
Stings a bit
Whenever I get a whitehead, I feel so compelled to just pop that sucker! When I do,immedietly right after I put some hydrogen peroxide on a cotton pad and dab it on the pimple. In a couple of mins the pimple is already a scab and much smaller,then it heals quickly. Pimple is almost gone the next day. Stuff works like a charm!

Pros:
works great
i see overnight results
Cons:
makes my eyes water sometimes
dries skin
irritates skin sometimes
if you use a moisturizer, which i do, your skin doesnt dry up anymore. the results are amazing! i use hydrogen peroxide on the affected area then on the pimple i sometimes put neosporin, which helps a lot. i use Aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer to help with dryness. my skin used to be really bad but now all the acne goes away. good luck with you skin!

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:
feels like it's working.
