What the gurus are saying
Short-contact therapy with 3.5% benzoyl peroxide puts you in control of how long the treatment stays on your skin. You can ease into stronger exposure gradually while minimizing dryness. The flexibility to use it either as a regular cleanser or an intensive mask earns praise from experts, making it particularly helpful for those who normally find benzoyl peroxide too drying.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Benzoyl peroxide has strong evidence for inflammatory acne, and unlike antibiotics the bacteria involved do not become resistant to it. It bleaches towels and pillowcases.

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
