Is there a major diffrence between 5% BP and 10% BP in terms of strength?

10% burns the shit outta my face. But 2.5% doesn't clear me up nearly as well as 10%. So is 5% BP a good choice for me or will it burn me like 10%?

5% is good, but it can be a little irritating sometimes.

I switch between 2.5% and 5% all the time for the best combination.

10% is not good, unless you use it for your back.

i've only used 5%, and that crap burned my face up bad, but i wasn't using moisturizer. so depending on your skin sensitivity, too strong may be too bad.

I started using BP 10% last week, and it is the best thing that i have brought for my acne, 5% didnt do shit for me.
The first few days my face was like i had done a TCA peel, but now its kinder stopped and my red marks are faded soooooo much because of all the peeling.
My acne is cleared up so much too!! i <3 it.

studies show that 2.5% works as well as 10%. There is no reason to use 10% unless you're using it on the back and can find it super cheap. The back can handle it well.
