How many products that contain benzoyl peroxide do you use a day, and how many times do you use each?

Question

Manufacturer studies are based on only the use of one product, as instructed.

Benzoyl peroxide CAUSES cancer - the more you use, the more likely you're trading a couple of pimples for acres of cancer.

Benzoyl peroxide breaks down immediately upon contact with the skin, true. Because of the chemical reaction WITH skin cells. Or why not just use the two benign chemicals?

Answer 1

"Benzoyl peroxide breaks down in contact with skin, producing benzoic acid and oxygen, neither of which are significantly toxic.

When applied to skin benzoyl peroxide has been shown to induce cancer, but only when used at 100% concentrations; it has not been shown to do this at the far lower concentrations used for treating acne, and at lower concentrations benzoyl peroxide has not been found to be mutagenic or carcinogenic."

Answer 2

1 RX for benzoyl peroxide and only on individual zits daily and whole face 1-2 times a week. More at certain times of the month since I have cystic acne.
