Topical OTC use. Benzoyl peroxide is used at 2.5-10% in gels, creams, and washes, applied to acne-prone areas once or twice daily; lower strengths (2.5-5%) are usually as effective as 10% with less irritation. There is no oral or systemic dose — it is not ingested. It is often combined with a retinoid (e.g. adapalene) for greater effect. This library does not provide an ingestion protocol.

Prescription topical. Hydroquinone is used at 2-4% (often as the triple-combination with a retinoid and a mild corticosteroid), applied to pigmented areas usually at night, in time-limited courses (commonly with treatment breaks) under clinician supervision, always with daily sunscreen. There is no oral or systemic use. Avoid indefinite continuous use because of ochronosis risk. This library does not provide an ingestion protocol.
