Acne Face Washes and Triclosan

 

In addition, triclosan is not the most effective anti-bacterial ingredient when it comes to fighting acne. Benzoyl peroxide is a much more effective ingredient against acne. Its track record conclusively proves its ability to fight acne-causing bacteria without the risk of causing bacterial resistance. And while benzoyl peroxide products usually come in spot treatment form, triclosan most often shows up in cleansers. Since a cleanser only stays on your skin briefly before you wash it off, the benefits are minimal.
