Benzoyl peroxide is probably the most commonly used substance for acne. It will kill the bacteria which are responsible for acne and it will clean clogged skin pores from the dirt, dead skin cells, and sebum.

You can choose from concentrations that range from 2.5% to 10%. However, always start with the lower percentage of benzoyl peroxide as it’s quite a strong substance, which may at the beginning irritate your skin. It’s an absolutely normal reaction of your skin, but if you don’t like the feeling of discomfort on your skin, apply moisturizing cream on it.
