How to Get Rid of Back Acne for GoodThese tips and treatments will make unsightly back acne and body blemishes a thing of the past |
The Best Body Acne Products It's totally normal to reach for your acne-fighting face wash or lotion when you're trying to get rid of back acne, but unfortunately, the active ingredient in these products is tailored to the more sensitive skin (and smaller pores) on your face. Rubbing these weaker concentrations on you body won't do much.
Instead, pick up products that are specifically formulated for chest acne and back acne, like Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Face, Chest & Back Lotion, $10. According to Zeichner, salicylic acid should be 2 percent whereas benzoyl peroxide should hit 10 percent. There's also Proactiv's new Deep Cleansing Body Brush, $45, a long-handled tool that makes it a cinch to treat hard-to-reach breakouts. Use the cleansing head to scrub with your body wash of choice, then when you're out of the shower fasten a treatment pad (like Proactiv's Clear Zone Body Pads, $22), to zap your bacne with salicylic acid.
