- 6 Body Acne Products That Work
Body acne can be frustrating to treat, especially when it pops up in awkward, hard-to-reach places like on your back or even near your butt. To effectively target these pimples, we recommend using products that are specifically formulated for the body, and not the face. Find our favorite body acne-fighting products, ahead.
CeraVe SA Body Wash for Rough + Bumpy Skin
This salicylic acid body wash works to cleanse and exfoliate without disrupting the protective skin barrier. Ingredients like ceramides help to make your skin feel smooth and hydrated after use.
Peter Thomas Roth Acne Face and Body Scrub
For a scrub you can use on the face and body, try this formula from Peter Thomas Roth. It combines salicylic acid, glycolic acid and jojoba beads to both chemically and manually exfoliate.
Glytone Acne Treatment Spray
For a back acne treatment that’s not a scrub or wash, try this treatment spray. Simply spray it directly onto your back and let it dry. According to the brand, this spray can be used every day or once every other day.
Murad Acne Body Wash
This triple-action body wash works to eliminate pimples with the help of ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, date seed powder, green tea and licorice root extracts. Use this one all over the body.
Curology Salicylic Acid Body Wash
This body wash helps zap body breakouts with 2% salicylic acid. It foams up upon application and cleanses without stripping your skin.
