What a good benzoyl peroxide wash?? Salicylic acid washes do nothing for me.

Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask. I'm not too fond of using it as a mask because I find it too drying, but it's an excellent face wash with benzoyl peroxide :) I also think they have a version of the same wash but with scrubbies in it...I've never used it but if you like a scrub that could also be an option as well.

^tooth paste will just dry them out,they will come back
I apply tea tree oil every night before I sleep.It works amazing!
But to answer your question, I use my clean and clear continuous control acne wash.

I used to use the Clean & Clear 3-in-1 Benzoyl Peroxide face wash, but even though it was great for my skin, it was so strong that my lips were burning off and it took me a while to realize why. I switched to the Neutrogena Rapid Clear last summer and haven't had any problems at all. It's got 10% BP but it's still gentle on the skin, not over drying at all and has a nice cooling effect too. Definitely a HG product for me and my severely acne prone skin 🙌🏼

Oxy cream cleanser with 5% benzoyl peroxide! It's great; I use the sensitive one. Salicylic acid exfoliates the skin whereas benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria. 😀

If I may suggest a different route? How about using a gentle, yet effective water-soluble cleanser, then use a toner/astringent with salicylic acid in it to treat your skin concerns. You can also double it up by using a spot correcting serum after that before applying your moisturizer. If you would like some options, I'll be happy to give them to you. I just need to know your skin type and texture. I'm really into skincare and just recently started a blog to help people and to learn more.
