Pros:

Very inexpensive. Works.

Cons:

Bleaches skin around pimple a little but is back to normal by the morning.

After washing my face a use a Q-Tip to hold the peroxide on my pimples for about 15-30 seconds each and they are dramatically reduced in size and seem to go away faster.

Pros:

Feels refreshing, low price, large quantity, simplicity.

Cons:

dries out your skin but with a good moisturizer you should be fine.

I just got off of Dan's Regimen and it worked but the effort was too much and BP kept shedding my skin like crazy. I have tried everything else too: oxy, anti-biotics, scrubs, washes, lemon juice, urine therapy, just everything. Hydrogen Peroxide is only $1!!!!! It's been about 4 days now and I'm starting to see less acne. Some spots are starting to break out more but I think it's just the initial response to starting out. It's so easy and fast to use. I apply it with a cotton ball on twice a day and put on moisturizer afterwards. Wish me luck!

Pros:

I have been using HP for a few months now. My skin has never been so clear. It has help, also, with the dark marks from acne. I still do get an occasional breakout (hormones) but my face generally stays clear most of the time.

Cons:

Dryness. It does dry my skin out, but I do use a moisturizer that seems to help.

It is very affordable and it seems to have work the best out of any product I have used on my face. I recommend using a mild, frangrance-free cleanser, then HP, and a moisturizer. At night I use a 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide acne cream.

Pros:

Gets rid of zits quickly(whether popped or emerging) and any swell goes away quickly

Cons:

Stings on open flesh but that's to be expected

It seems to be working greatly as long as you don't go back and bug a zit constantly while its healing. My face has cleared up and I do not see any emerging zits. I apply directly but my skin seems to not react harshly to it(probably because there are oils on my skin since I never use any kind of soap on my face, yep hydrogen peroxide is all that I am using, and only about once a day with a q-tip).

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

Pros:

Cleared up deep painful pimples almost immediately when nothing else worked.

Cons:

worried about possible skin damage.

I tried a few other remedies before I found Hydrogen Peroxide including salicylic acid and baking soda, with little to no improvement. I had a BAD breakout on my cheeks and neck of very deep and painful pimples that were super embarrassing. Now I wash with a mild face wash, exfoliate with aveeno skin brightening scrub, and then I hold a cotton ball soaked in peroxide on the worst pimples for about 10 min. after that I put vaseline on my eyebrows and rub the peroxide on the rest of my face with the cotton ball. once that dries i put a mixture of one part apple cider vinegar to 3 parts water all over my face and let that dry as well, then I finish by dabbing an oil free moisturizer on lightly. In the past 3 days I have seen SIGNIFICANT improvement. I would recommend this routine for everyone!
