Benzoyl peroxide makes my 12 Year old daughter break out in a red itchy rash and makes her face worse. Salicylic acid doesn't work for her.

I find things like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid spot treatments aren't helping my pimples fade faster. So, instead I use drying treatments. This does kind of help my breakouts, although it sometimes makes my face dry and itchy; suggestions?
