Benzoil peroxide.: I am not 100% certain, but i would think that benzoil peroxide cream would be more effective since that is what it was developed to treat as opposed to toothpaste which was designed to clean teeth and fight cavities.

Benzoyl Peroxide: There is no reason to think that toothpaste would do you any good at all for your acne. Save it for your teeth.
