A member asked:

Can hytrogen peroxide 3% get rid of acne or will it make me break out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a good choice: There are many other choices to treat acne. See your dermatologist for the most effective prescription medications...In the meantime you can get otc products that have salycylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or glycolic acid in them.
