B.P. good option: Benzoyl peroxide helps dry oily skin and kill bacteria, so is commonly used on "problem areas" of facial skin--forehead being one of them. The hydration factor is less solid, but will not hurt.

Does increasing your water intake cause an acne outbreak?
I popped a pimple and it dried up in a day and now there's a scab on my forehead. I use the 3 step benzac (benzoyl peroxide) acne solutions as a face wash.
