Each of those items have different issues.....

Benzyl Peroxide is definitely a carcinogen and when you rub it into your skin it absorbs into your body so with repeated uses, it builds up

Glycoic Acid also absorbs into your body but it usually affects the gastro-intestinal system, the nervous system and kidneys

Salicylic Acid is actually an anti-carcinogen.

Triclosan which is also in a lot of the germicidal soaps is also a carcinogen and is absorbed by your body.

If you think of how many times a day we wash our hands with anti-bacterial or germicidal soap, it gets a bit scarey thinking about it.

Personally I wouldn't use it.

false. nothing to do with it.

Probably true, only because it can make your skin really sensitive to the sun and burn easily, and we all know that sun burns increase your risk of skin cancer.

Benzyl Peroxide reduce the risk of Scin cancer
salicylic acid also reduce the risk of cancer but if skin is highly sensetive, you will feel irritation
glycolic acid reduce the risk of skin cancer and is used as anti aging cream
Triclosan is a chlorophenol, a class of chemicals suspected of causing cancer in humans

I advise you to use any cream not more than 15SPF if in india.This is sufficient to protect you from sun burn.
