i have a panoxyl 2.5% but it is alcohol base,there is no water base available here only benzac 5% water base available here,so what is the better product on the two could someone help me!!

panoxyl 2.5% really works but after two months it stop in decreasing acne and it has a side effect that when you go out and expose to sun it will make my skin red and irritated.so i switch to benzac 5% for two weeks for now i think it is more milder because it is water base other board say products on alcohol base will really irritate youre skin and make it worse
