You can get 2.5 % BP from Erha clinics - there are quite a few around.

You can have an appointment with a skin doctor there or just pop in and buy the bp cream / face wash etc. over the counter.
They do a whole host of skin products for acne. It's not cheap but does seem to work...
See below what I found by searching at MIMS Indonesia (www.mims.com):

Benzolac Cl 10 g x 1's (Rp20000)
Manufacturer : SDM Lab
Contents : Benzoyl peroxide 5%, clindamycin phosphate 1.2%
Indications : Mild to moderately severe acne vulgaris.
Dosage : Apply twice daily.
(2)Benzolac topical gel
Benzolac 2.5 % x 5 g x 1's (Rp9000)
Benzolac 5 % x 5 g x 1's (Rp12000)
Manufacturer : SDM Lab
Contents : Benzoyl peroxide
Indications : Acne vulgaris.
Dosage : Apply twice daily.
I would not use any such cream to begin with. In fact, the natural options suggested in this article helped me a lot, minus any kind of side effects. I hope you find it helpful too:Originally Posted by Mrngrounder
Do Acne Scar Creams Really Work?
If you are reading this article, then I am sure that you have got several terrible acne blemishes on your face, and also that you would like to get rid of those scars as fast as possible. Now, I certainly hope you did not come here hoping for a one-day miracle cure, because, as far as I know, none exists! I also believe that you are looking for an acne scar cream, preferably something that is 100% natural. Well in this article I will tell you whether acne scar creams really work or not!
Granted, there are tons of acne scar removal treatments available, but many people believe that if you want to get rid of scars completely and permanently, then laser surgery is your only way out. Unfortunately, not everyone can go for it; I mean, you cannot opt for a laser surgery unless your doctor offers you proper clearance. Apart from that, it is extremely expensive and not suitable for everyone's pocket. As if that was not enough, you also need to worry about its after-affects; a lot of people continue to suffer from surgery-related side-effects long after they have taken their leave from the surgery table. Mostly importantly, you would need to take a long absence leave from your office, as you would want to offer your body enough time to recover from the surgery.
The other extreme is that you use natural fruits and vegetables for your acne scar removal treatment. You can say, use lemon juice, oatmeal powder, apple cider vinegar, aloe vera gel, etc., to get rid of acne scars. Unfortunately, it is easier said than done! These natural treatments take a long time to offer you the desired results: that is, only if you are consistent with the treatment! The other thing you need to worry about is time: you either need to have enough time to make the medicines yourself at home, or enough money to buy the respective supplements from outside. Then again, not all supplements are equally effective!
In between these two extremes fall the acne blemish creams. Acne scar creams offer you quicker results than say, the 'lemon juice' treatment. Now I don’t know about you, but I am both lazy and short on time, so these creams fit my bill perfectly. They are also quite affordable, and rarely come with any side-effects, because they are mostly made from natural substances! If you are like me and want something to help you get rid of your acne blemishes in the comfort and privacy of your home, there is no better alternative to acne blemish removal creams!
Of course, just like anything else, not all acne scar creams are created equal, which is why you must research all the acne cream products meticulously before choosing the best one for yourself. There are lots of brands: all promising you the moon, all claiming to offer you instant results, but not all of these creams are effective. If you don’t do your research, you would be wasting months upon months in hopeless trial and error and eventually become disappointed! So, whenever you want a good acne scar removal cream for yourself, do your research diligently, then find that one that has worked for a lot of people; chances are that, if you have similar scars, then that product might work for you too! Good luck!

you can get Benzoyl Peroxide 2½ at Century for about IDR11,000 (take/give). i don't think Guardian/Watsons have it.
it's affordable because it's a pure, generic version called Benzolac. it's out-of-stock most of the time, so i'd recommend calling the Century store before you drop by.
however, i heard Salicylic Acid is safer than BP.
acne needs to be treated from the inside IMO.
this is literally the best forum on the web for acne discussion and reading, there are some seriously knowledgeable (and obsessive) people who are trying to fight it for everyone http://www.acne.org/messageboard/ check out the acne treatment forum and acne research section.
