I find that salicylic acid works better for me - it's also referred to as BHA (beta hydroxy acid). It works within the pore to keep it cleaned out, whereas benzoyl peroxide just dries it up on the surface. I use Paula's Choice 2% BHA solution and SKin Biology's Exfol serum - works great!
You have to remember, too, that it takes 2-3 weeks for a pimple to surface. So when you start using a new product & find you continue to get breakouts - give it at least 3-4 weeks before you decide it's not working.
