Benzoyl peroxide can cause premature aging if you have sensitive skin that become irritate and dry easily. Having constant dry and flaky/irritated will lead to wrinkles in the long-run. You can always try over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide treatments to test your sensitivity. If your skin becomes irritated within a month of using, I would look for alternatives.

Ok thanks what alternatives would you consider I use if it did irritate my skin?
Salicylic acid based products would is proven to be effective for acne. I personally use:
This cleanser every other night..
and
This peel once or twice a month.
These two products along with drinking plenty of water and avoiding dairy is enough to keep my acne at bay.
On the days that I don't use the above cleanser, I use a mild face cleanser and moisturizer (daily).

Do you think the acne.org moisturizer will be good enough?
