Does benzoyl peroxide kill bacteria caused acne on contact or does it need time?

I believe its a bit of both, I believed I've used it before and usually it worked with time.

it works but on my pimples ... but ut leaves a white soft scab that does not go away :/

[NotShortButFunsized]

i would have to assume its like regular peroxide, kills on contact, then keeps it away afterwards

I would rather use aloe myself. But peroxide ha worked fine for more milder things over a few days.

That doesn't kill acne bacteria

And it was acne? Not ingrown hairs?

Yea, it worked fine for the lesser acne. It also helped with irritation.

Never knew that

Proactive has benzoyl peroxide in it so i think it must kill it right away because most of the creams are supposed to be washed off
