A method for treating acne on the skin. The method has the steps of (a) providing an drapeable or flexible porous article impregnated with an aqueous cleansing composition having a carrier, benzoyl peroxide, and one or more cleansing agents; (b) contacting an area of the skin affected by acne with the porous article such that the skin is contacted by the composition; and (c) removing the composition from the skin wherein residual benzoyl peroxide remains on the skin in an anti-acne effective amount. There are also anti-acne compositions.
