Is Hydrogen Peroxide a good treatment for acne?

corby_edouard asked:


I’ve been looking online for at-home acne cures, and one treatment I’ve been seeing a lot is hydrogen peroxide acne treatment. Would that be a good way to treat acne? How would I use it? Would I just apply hydrogen peroxide topically on my face? How often should I use it? Is it safe? Any other advice/suggestions? Thanks!

    IDK! I haven’t heard of hydrogen peroxide. I do know that if you take toothpaste and squeeze some out onto your hand and put it on your face and make a face mask and leave it for 15-20 minutes then rinse with a warm cloth, it should go away within a few weeks. That’s what I do and it really works. Good luck !

    The peroxide at your pimple proactive is dry out the peroxide like the salon.

    gah, acne.. i had acne for 7 years and used every treatment out there until i was put on accutane (YAY!) and i havent had a spot for years :D.
    anyway, i had hydrogen peroxide (i cant remember what volume, sorry) in a topical gel form. it dries out your spots to a crisp if you use lots which gets rid of redness etc. if you do use it MAKE SURE to wash your face with a mild cleanser to make sure you dont dry your skin out more and get a good moisturiser (but not heavy because that will clog your pores). i used mine every night and morning.
    good luck! keep trying different treatment if that one doesnt work but give it time! :D
