WHAT TOPICAL AGENTS KILL ACNE BACTERIA? Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Retinoic Acid?

I'm just not sure! Help?

WHAT TOPICAL AGENTS KILL ACNE BACTERIA? Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Retinoic Acid?
I guess you can consider me odd, but Benzoyl Peroxide did absolutely no good for me at all and was really expensive. I'm now using Differin and getting great results on only the second week. I highly reccommend it if your skin is a little sensitive to the BP, mine was. My insurance covered it in full, and it's only 50 bucks if your not covered. Check it out.
Reply:All kill bacteria but none worked for me. I got rid of my acne by drinking a gallon of water every day and leaving my face alone so it wouldnt get irritated.
Reply:Clindamycin aka Cleocin
Reply:Clearasil Ultra and AcneFree are two relatively cheap products that i've found work well. Also, after popping a pimple, dipping a Q-tip in peroxide and using it to thoroughly clean out the wound keeps it from coming back for a long time.
Reply:BP was the best for me but it dried the hell out of my skin. I actually agree with the person who said drink lots of water. It does wonders for the skin.
