| The brand name back home is OXY. Having a bit of a break out and wouldn't mind getting my hands on the stuff. Anyone know of a brand name that has the active ingredient Benzyl Peroxide? |

| The red door in Itaewon might carry it. If all else fails though, the tea tree oil touch stick from the Body Shop is pretty good. |

I think this is the time where someone jumps in with a kimchi comment, no?
as in.. eat some kimchi.. it cures EVERYTHING 
I brought some myself.. but am now wondering should I need more down the road...
from what I've seen thus far, there are PLENTY of Koreans who would have very high need for an Oxy 10 type product, etc.
there are no local similar chemical treatments available here?
or do they just eat kimchi? (clearly that doesn't work! ) |

Also, basement (B2) in Doota in Dongdaemun has a lot of vendors selling foreign toiletries. Can't remember seeing this stuff offhand there, but I bet they have it.
