Scout's take
Benzoyl Peroxide at 10 percent is the maximum strength available in over-the-counter acne wash. While effective against acne-causing bacteria, this concentration significantly increases skin irritation and dryness risk, and produces more benzene during decomposition than lower-percentage formulations.
