My friend found some at Walmart but in their brand; Equate? She says it worked it's magic on her son. We both have pre-teen boys.

You do have to be very careful to wear something white and use white pillowcases and towels if you use this product on your face as it will bleach colored sheets and towels.

All I know is the Salycic (spelling?) Acid does nothing; for me anyway!... It is the Benzoyl Peroxide that works.

Hope that helps!?

Sorry to get off of the Zeno subject... just think the BP might be worth a try???
I buy the Equate brand at Walmart ($1.98) for my teen sons. Works better, and is cheaper than any Oxy brand they have tried. They also sell a liquid toner/cleaner (same price I think, or around $2-$3) that works well for deap cleaning to get rid of black heads.
