Q: can i mix table salt and hydrogen peroxide for acne?

Worthless: This is one more &#x27;pop&#x27; remedy that will disappoint you. Acne is a chronic, serious, non-lifestyle-related disease that can be managed medically but will vanish only when it self-cures with age. If two weeks of benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you, get with your personal physician.
