Are there more recent studies on the efficacy of Benzyl Peroxide Cleansers/Wash?:
This comment references November 2008, Volume 1, Number 4, of the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology. p. 3 states:

Has use of a benzoyl peroxide
cleanser/wash been shown to be
effective in the treatment of acne
vulgaris?

??Data from studies evaluating the
efficacy of BPO cleanser/wash formulations are limited, including
products available by prescription
or OTC.6,7

Herbert P. Goodheart, MD 1971 (Hahnemann Medical College). Acne For Dummies (2006).

p. 83

Acne soaps: Antibacterial foaming washes, scrubs, and soap
bars are available in many shapes and sizes. Some contain
benzoyl peroxide, others have salicylic acid and some have
triclosan, an antibacterial chemical cleanser that removes
excess sebaceous secretions.

None of them hang around on your skin long enough to do
much to help your acne. To make them more effective, leave
them on for at least 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing them off

is there anything better, as the evidence looks hazy?
