Measure
Benzoyl Peroxide 5%
Subjects will be given standard instructions in the use of topical benzoyl peroxide gel and will be provided with a supply of medication fitted with a Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) cap. This cap records dates and times the assembly is opened which can be downloaded at the final visit and tabulated with associated software. When the tubes are weighed, data from the MEMS Caps will be collected. Study coordinators will record adherence, while assessors are blinded to adherence rates. All subjects will be assigned to treatment with topical benzoyl peroxide to the entire face. Benzoyl Peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide 5% gel. Applied once daily to face, minimum amount usable to cover area. Every day for six weeks.
