Will hydrogen peroxide burn your face?

Pure hydrogen peroxide certainly can cause chemical burns if it touches your skin. Hydrogen peroxide you buy from a drugstore is typically about 3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water.

You should be careful with even the dilute stuff around your eyes and mouth though; the mucous membranes are much more sensitive.
