For me, Benzoyl Peroxide works better than Salicytic Acid. This second one, make me breakout. I have tried Neutrogena, Simple, OXI, Clearasil, etc...

This are my favorite products, I've been using them for 1 year, with great results:


Clean & Clear
Persa-Gel 10
10% benzoyl peroxide

It's like a magical eraser. Big breakouts take longer than smaller ones to disappear, but it works wonders.
...................................................................................................................................
Clean & Clear
Advantage
3-in-1
exfoliating cleanser
5% benzoyl peroxide

Although is harsh on the skin and I would not recommend this for people with sensitive skin, is one of the best cleanser I have used so far.
