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.

Help!! Please someone
My entire year of senior year I was basically acne free. Had a gf at the time, ended up breaking up. As time progressed throughout the summer I was getting whiteheads. Late fall of 2013, I would get a few every now & then. Now I have so many scars & I continue to get these white heads. I do not know what I am doing wrong... I tried this & it worked & for some reason I just stopped. Please help me. I need help for what I should do.. I don't know if it's my diet, stress, sexually active...

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

Pros:

It works, gets rid of acne easily

Cons:

It burns your skin; it turned my skin pale white every time I used it, It smells bad.

It gets rid of acne in just a few days but it does hurt. I used it on my face, back, and shoulders and so far it worked very well, but it does burn the skin. And it does smell bad but the smell and burning go away after a few minutes. I use it twice daily and I don't dilute it.

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:

inexpensive <1.00

Cons:

not reccomended by dermatologists

Hydrogen peroxide is probably one of the oldest home remedies for acne. While it does help disinfect minor cuts and scrapes it's probably not suggested to use on the face and i'll tell you why- After prolonged use of killing the bacteria on your skin, your skin will not longer produce anything to fight against infections; virtually everything will be killed off your skin and your skin will become so used to it that it will stop producing any kind of 'good' (if you will) bacteria to help protect it. Yes, this is a good topical treatment to use on pimples that are truly infected and won't go away but I would not suggest this as an everyday product to use in your regimen.
