If you have skin issues considered "inflammatory", benzoyl peroxide is great to use. It's a great acne preventer. The reason it works on acne is because oxygen is emitted into the area around the follicle to kill the bacteria. And, it works very fast - faster than antibiotics would to treat your blemishes. Plus, benzoyl peroxide won't stop working like antibiotics can because your body can become resistant to antibiotics. However, don't confuse this with hydrogen peroxide as this won't get down into the follicle.
Please note that this is an acne preventer not a a "spot treatment". It's best used on a daily basis while working in your regular skin care regimen. Again, always go back to the fundamentals of skin care - no need to scrub excessively or wash multiple times a day. See our recommendations in our article:

Most people go wrong when they over do it and then get frustrated - spending more and more money on "acne treatments" that don't work . Find the lowest concentration product your skin will tolerate and use daily. As a daily user, 2.5% is probably high enough (especially those with sensitive skin) - others, at the most 5%. The higher concentration products that contain benzoyl peroxide are best for people who have really oily skin.
The biggest drawback, in my opinion, is it can bleach clothes, sheets, hair - so be careful what it touches. But, always remember to listen to your skin and don't over do it. If you apply too much or too fast (multiple times a day), your skin will react. Go slow and be kind to your skin. You'll notice a difference soon enough.
