They almost always find it is highly effective and either nearly or as effective as every other treatment except oral isotrentinoin or BPO plus something else. The sensitivity issues eventually decrease and patients are likely to have excellent results if they push through it. Only a small number of studies appear to compare 2.5% to 10%. Thus, it is not justified to announce conclusively that 10% is no more effective than 2.5%, since the lower concentration has never (to my knowledge) been repeatedly compared to full-course anti-biotics and topical retinoids, for instance. Heck, BPO is available in some parts of the world up to 20% and for a reason. Including Canada. Speaking of Canada... The 1977 study is a weird one to bring up under adverse reactions. Moisturizer? Sunscreen? This was 1977, after all. It is widely reported and substantiated by the literature that people vary as to their tolerance of BPO. It's far more rational to suggest people use the highest concentration they can tolerate without severe reactions, since the best, most reliable repeated studies have found the higher concentrations definitely produce excellent results when stuck with... even if we cannot conclude reliably that 2.5% really is equivalent to 6 months of tetracycline and Retin-A, for instance. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/66.178.144.45" title="Special:Contributions/66.178.144.45">66.178.144.45</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:66.178.144.45&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:66.178.144.45 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Benzoyl_peroxide#c-66.178.144.45-2011-04-07T05:42:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)</a></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-66.178.144.45-2011-04-07T05:42:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-66.178.144.45-2011-04-07T05:42:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jkom329-2011-05-20T09:14:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective"></span>That most studies compare higher concentrations of BPO to alternative treatments does not necessarily mean that the higher concentrations are more effective than 2.5%. Studies comparing various concentrations of BPO do show that 2.5% is as effective as higher strengths, and there is general agreement on this in recent literature reviews (too lazy to cite at the moment). More head-to-head clinical trials with other APIs are always desirable, yes, but practically it seems that the current body of evidence is adequate to support equivalence. </p><p>20% and higher concentrations are generally used as antiseptics, not acne treatments. Anyway, the mere availability of higher concentrations does not mean they are more effective. Marketing divisions like to put "maximum strength" on products if they can, thus the unfortunate scarcity of 2.5% formulations. </p><p>A truly rational and widely used approach to acne treatment with BPO is this: start with 2.5% and increase strength as tolerated only if necessary to achieve control of acne. This strategy covers any possibility that higher concentrations might be more effective in certain patients, though I would be more inclined to add a retinoid rather than increase the strength of BPO. Significantly greater progress at higher concentrations should not be relied upon. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Jkom329&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Jkom329 (page does not exist)">Jkom329</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jkom329" title="User talk:Jkom329">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jkom329" title="Special:Contributions/Jkom329">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Benzoyl_peroxide#c-Jkom329-2011-05-20T09:14:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:14, 20 May 2011 (UTC)</a></span></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jkom329-2011-05-20T09:14:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jkom329-2011-05-20T09:14:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jkom329-2011-06-06T05:12:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective"></span>The following statements are contradictory.

Since that's the case, it doesn't make sense to say increasing concentrations *usually* gives better results. Increasing concentration *may* give better results in some cases. There are always exceptions. I'm changing these statements accordingly. "Some research suggests that 5 and 10% concentrations are not significantly more effective than 2.5%" "increasing the quantity or concentration a second time and gaining tolerance at a higher level usually gives better subsequent acne clearance" <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Jkom329&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Jkom329 (page does not exist)">Jkom329</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jkom329" title="User talk:Jkom329">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jkom329" title="Special:Contributions/Jkom329">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Benzoyl_peroxide#c-Jkom329-2011-06-06T05:12:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:12, 6 June 2011 (UTC)</a></span></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jkom329-2011-06-06T05:12:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jkom329-2011-06-06T05:12:00.000Z-2.5_is_as_effective"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Toleration_(2.5%_vs_5%_vs_10%)" data-mw-thread-id="h-Toleration_(2.5%_vs_5%_vs_10%)-2014-01-24T14:34:00.000Z"><span id="Toleration_.282.5.25_vs_5.25_vs_10.25.29"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Toleration_(2.5%_vs_5%_vs_10%)-2014-01-24T14:34:00.000Z"></span>Toleration (2.5% vs 5% vs 10%)<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Toleration_(2.5%_vs_5%_vs_10%)-2014-01-24T14:34:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Benzoyl_peroxide&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Toleration (2.5% vs 5% vs 10%)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-50.26.219.28-2014-01-24T14:34:00.000Z-Toleration_(2.5%_vs_5%_vs_10%)"></span>The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-4362.1986.tb04534.x/abstract">study</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2948929">cited</a> states that "Desquamation, erythema, and symptoms.of burning with the 2.5% gel were less frequent than with the 10% preparation <b>but equivalent to the 5% gel</b>.

However, the second half of the second equation seems to have been copied wholesale from the first equation.
