Mmm I heard that Benzoyl Peroxide helps your face alot, and gets rid of your pimples. I bought some, but haven't used it yet.
Does it really work?
Or does Salicylic Acid work better?

Benzoyl Peroxide is just a simple acne treatment. It will work better than Salicylic Acid, but it won't guarantee clear skin.
Try using Duac. Its a perscription cream but it contains benzoyl peroxide along with antibiotics which will help the acne much, much more.
Use it for topical treatments, and it will do wonders. Good luck.

Yep. Is the stuff called Panoxyl? Benzoyl Peroxide is used for acne, however it does dry out the skin, but any face moisturizer should fix that up for you. I use it, it's great. Also, if 10% is too much for you skin to handle (if it dries out your skin a lot and starts to irritate it as well), Panoxyl has 2.5% products as well. After I use 10% benzoyl peroxide, I have a moisturizer that I use on my face, and then on top of that I put sunscreen & my skin is fine. =)

Benzoyl Peroxide works.
Clean and Clear Acne Medication face wash has 10% of it
and
Pro Active has 2.5%
I like either but Clean and Clear is less expensive :)
Yes, it could dry and irritate your skin if you leave it on for too long or use too much.

benzoyl peroxide works,but it irrattaes and dry your skin. salicylic acids works great it doesnt dry or irrirates the skin. it also helps with acne and pimples.

i dont really have bad acne, maybe a pimple or two here and there, and benzoyl peroxide works MUCH better on them.

I use Benzoyl perozide and I have never broken out it was prescribed by a doctor but it can tend to be strong so moisturize really good afterwards!

it works but its too strong on ur skin especially when u go out u might have more breakouts due to the effects of the sun
salicylic like the 1 in neutrogena oil-free products is better coz it is strong on the acne and mild on ur skin
both r supposed to dry ur skin coz acne is mainly caused by too much oil on the skin. so thats ok
