I just bought benzac (benzoyl peroxide) ac 5% bp and i saw acrylates copolymer which release glycerin to moisturize dry skin so does bp moisturize face and get rid acne?

Benzoyl peroxide: I see you are also using doxycyclne and tretinoin. This is a good combination. If you are not getting satisfactory results, you're old enough to be a possible candidate for isotretinoin.
