Rather than using these medicines, I suggest you following to control acne - use tea tree face wash and toner twice daily. Use sunscreen with spf 30 daily.
Use natural face pack of multani mitti and lemon 2 times a week.
You can also use apple cider vinegar with mother for 5 mins after washing your face and splash it clean with water. Most important is diet- do not eat junk, eat more vegetables and fruits especially with vitamin c.

Hi!
you can use any good ketoconozole based shampoo. As per Lybrate rule, doctors are not supposed to suggest brand names on this platform expect for private consultation. Coming to benzoyl peroxide, it is good for acne. Age not mentioned. Acne common in adult and adolescent age. Control sweets, choclates,dairy products, non vegetarian foods to control acne. You should reduce weight also for acne to control.

Treatment depends on the grade. Acne or pimples. Due to hormonal changes. Oily skin causes it. Common in adolescent age. May occur in adults also. Food like oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne. So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

It's better to avoid both together but if you still want to use at least few hours gape is required.

Do not benzoyl peroxide as skin brightning agent because it is anti-acne medication not skin lightening agent.

Yes, it is effective in treatment of acne. Apply it in very less quantity though since it has irritation potential.

Strength of usage depends purely on the severity of acne on your skin. Usually 2.5 %is enough to get best results.
