between benzole peroxide 2.5%, 5% and 10%, in acne treatment

The concentration of benzole peroxide. 10% is more likely to dry out your skin and is considered intensive (Oxy 10). 2.5% is more gentle and is recommended for minor and chronic acne problems (Pro Activ). I don't have any experience with 5%, but I would imagine it falls somewhere in between.

The difference is the strength of the benzole peroxide.2.5% is 21/2% 5% is stronger and 10% is the strongest out of the three.

The difference is the amount of strength the acne treatment has. For example, an over the counter treatment I used to use had like 1%, but for some people that could be too little. You would probably want to use as little benzole peroxide as possible until you know how your skin will react because too much can dry out your skin and make it peel! Good luck, hope I helped!

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

the lower the percentage the more concentrated the benzole peroxide is so i think it is for more or less sensitive skin something like that

I use 10% (clearasil) it has always worked good and fast for me...but if you have sinsitive skin try starting out with 2.5% (Persagel) to see if it works...it is just the ammount of the medicine that the product contains

the higher the percentage the "more effective" it is in drying out the blemish. but it will also dry out the skin around the blemish. Try pro active. I think it works really, really good.
