i suggest tea tree... while benzoyl peroxide dries up pimple FAST, the disadvantage is that it leaves hyperpigmentation == dark spots...
tea tree is natural and will heal your acne problems without the harsh effects of benzoyl peroxide...

Tea tree oil's just an antiseptic, It'll kill off bacteria on your skin if used in a high enough concentration but that doesn't mean it will solve spots (since they're more to do with excess oil production and the bacteria beneath your skin than what's on top of it). I'm also dubious about the amount of tea tree oil that's actually in products like tea tree oil moisturisers. Nonetheless It sounds like you've already got a sensible approach, the only thing you can really do about teenage skin is to keep dirt and oil on your skin to a minimum by washing regularly. Diet can also be a factor, eat healthily and your skin will generally reflect it. Other than that I'm afraid it's just a normal teenage thing which everyone suffers from to some degree. (please don't pay too much attention to anyone advocating that you don't moisturise or that you hammer your skin with soap, drying your skin out isn't going to do it any good and frankly anyone who suggests shaving without moisturising has never put a razor near their face)

Tea tree oil is much better rather than benzoyl peroxide. Its safer and natural not like benzoyl peroxide.

I reckon tea tree oil. It's a natural healing and antiseptic substance. Ensure you're not allergic to it though by putting it on a small skin area first.

THE BEST PRODUCT TO USE IS INGREDIENTS WITH PEPPERMINT. PEPPERMINT WILL ALLOW YOUR PORES TO OPEN UP AND ALLOW THEM TO BE CLENSED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THAT MEANS YOUR PORES WILL BECOME SMALLER. REMEMBER ACCESS SCRUBING WILL MAKE ACNE WORSE. HEY CHECK OUT THIS SITE FOR MORE INFO.
